The Black Hand

An evil that has plagued Yddrasil for hundreds of years, the Black Hand are servants of Bane, The Chained Tyrant. They formed once Bane ascended to godhood, and continued to follow him after the God-Clash. Reappearing throughout history, this clan has caused terror everytime they resurface, even being the catalyst of the Draco-Orc Invasion.

Their motives are unknown at this point, but they have been found garnering allies among the Gnoll warbands, and bringing destruction wherever they appear. The party has defeated sects of the cult on multiple occasions on their journey thus far, but it would seem the true war with The Black Hand is yet to come...
