The White Hand

Quietly conspiring in the dark corners of the world, the White Hand actively opposes the ideals of military rule.  This organization was initially founded in the city of Athalon by a small group of activists who wished to prevent the Alivaran military from ceasing control of the nation.  During their initial years the organization retained a bevvy of skilled burglers who would venture out and steel known magical items and artifacts.  Through the sale of these items through various Black Market vendors The White Hand was able to fund their operations and develop a substantial foundation for their operations.  In the past few years it was learned that some of these funds were being donated to the Senators of the Alivaran government in support of democracy.  This resulted in the organization being heralded as heroes by the common man as The White Hand supported a free government and the freedom of the Alivaran citizens.  The news also served to sew seads of distrust in the elected officials that lead the country as it was now known that they were taking money from criminals.
Since this news become public The White Hand's operations in Alivara have largely disappeared and the organization has moved their base of operation to an undisclosed location.  Though the organizations efforts are no longer as prevalent in their homeland The White Hand continues the efforts to fight against military control throughout the world.  The White Hand has openly taken credit for attacks on military units that have either disrupted operations or resulted in significant casualties.  These attacks have impacted the nations of Cultrius, Jyn Urndlikr, and Munasarja.

Structure

The White Hand divides its people into small sects that operate from deep within a nations borders. Each of these groups is generally lead by one or two elder members of the guild who have paricipated or overseen multiple missions previously. As a means to reduce the risk of leaks within the organization only the heads of each sect are allowed to communicate with one another. Those below the leader of the sect are provided no information related to future operations or movements until the time that they are needed.

Public Agenda

The White Hand operate with a simple objective in mind, to disrupt the military powers of the world.  Though this goal appears to be a noble one on the surface the White Hand does not pursue their goal for the benefit of the people of the world that may be suppressed by these mighty armies.  Instead the goals of the White Hand are purely selfish as they look to fill the power void that is left behind with members of their own ranks.  Due to their care and screcy in running their opperations it is unknown if the White Hand has been successful in completing this objective.

Coat of Arms:

The mark of the White Hand is plane and easily identified.  The organization makes their involvement in their operations known by leaving hand prints dipped in white paint on a wall, door, or the face of a victim.
