The Order of Blackhand

The Order of Blackhand is a mysterious and enigmatic organization shrouded in secrecy and whispers of the occult. They are known for their macabre practices, which involve collecting the husks of individuals who have succumbed to umbral sickness - a mysterious and deadly affliction rumored to be connected to the shadowy depths of the world.
At the helm of the Order stands the enigmatic Ganus Blackhand, a figure of formidable presence and unwavering determination. Little is known about Ganus's origins or true identity, as they cloak themselves in shadows both literal and metaphorical. Possessing mastery over dark magic and the manipulation of umbral energies, Ganus commands unwavering loyalty from their followers, who view them with a mixture of fear and reverence.
The primary purpose of the Order is the collection and study of husks - lifeless shells left behind by individuals who have perished from umbral sickness. These husks are believed to contain traces of umbral energy, making them valuable commodities for those who seek to delve into the mysteries of the shadow realm. The Order meticulously preserves and analyzes these husks, seeking to unlock the secrets of umbral sickness and harness its power for their own ends. At least that is one proposed theory speculated by the Council of Temples.
In addition to their collection of husks, the Order is rumored to engage in other occult practices and forbidden rituals. Some whisper of dark ceremonies are conducted beneath the cover of night, where the boundaries between the material world and the realm of shadows grow thin. Others speak of shadowy agents dispatched by the Order to carry out clandestine missions and further their inscrutable agenda.
The structure of the Order is hierarchical, with Ganus Blackhand reigning supreme as the unquestioned leader. Below Ganus are a select few high-ranking members known as the Inner Circle, each entrusted with specific duties and responsibilities within the organization. These individuals serve as advisors to Ganus and wield considerable influence over the Order's operations.
Beneath the Inner Circle are the rank-and-file members of the Order, who carry out the day-to-day tasks of collecting, studying, and safeguarding the husks of the deceased. These members are bound by oath and secrecy, their identities concealed behind masks and cloaks as they go about their grim work.
The Order of Blackhand is only whispered about in the darkest corners of the world.
