In Tarsakh of 1367 DR, Zaranda and her mercenary company traveled to Ithmong and negotiated a contract with the city's ruling council. Her merchant group, the "Company of the Star" thus became the Star Protective Services mercenary group. This brave act of solitude led those in power to believe that she was raising an army and earned her many enemies. For the next eleven months she lived among the local peasants, teaching them how to defend themselves against those who would abuse them. Unfortunately, Zazesspur's Baron Hardisty impounded her goods and chased her and her fellows out of the city. Seeing the people of Tethyr were suffering under the myriad of power-hungry, would-be rulers, Zaranda demonstrated her compassion to the commoners and strength of arms to those who greeted her with hostility. Bandits and robber-barons still ruled in holdings across the plains, some of whom she personally had to fend off on her way to sell her essential yet exotic goods in the city of Zazesspur. When she returned to Tethyr in 1366 DR, she saw that nothing had really changed within the realm. She spent two years reinforcing her borders and her castle before going on a mercantile tour of Faerûn, traveling to lands far to the east, such as Unther and Thay. In the 1364 DR, Zaranda Star purchased County Morninggold and all its noble titles from the Order of the Silver Chalice.
