1

The Emperors Hand. Fashioning themselves in the image of legendary heroes such as Hercules and Perseus, the Hand were formed with a single mission: To drive evil from the land and establish peace and prosperity through any means necessary.

Famed and feared. Rigid, unyielding. Brave beyond reason. hey keep a small safe haven in the Arsacians, surrounded by the howling winds of dead gods.

Sever (Human Fighter) Paranoid Monster Hunter. The leader of the Hand, was compelled by a siren into slaying his brother and now spends his life atoning for that misdeed. Has little tolerance for those who will not assist him and sees the machinations of the fey in many everyday encounters. But his paranoia is not without basis as the exploits of him and his companions are known by all, and have made them a target of their enemies.

Numora (Elven Wizard) Traitor to her People. For years, Numora was an agent of Hades, her heart deadened to the suffering she was inflicting on her own people until her plot was discovered by Sever. Numora battled him to a standstill before surrendering to the guilt in her heart. Rumors fly that the elf has not truly reformed (this is false) and that she still traffics in dark spells and has dalliances with demons.

Belor. (Dwarven Fighter) Berserk Wrestler. Mad with grief, mad with rage, mad with the memory of watching his clan being flayed alive by member of the Orange Hand, Belor continues the crazed tradition of dwarven battleragers. The spikes of Belor’s armor often drip with the blood of his enemies and his face has an unhinged manner. The lifestyle has taken a toll on the dwarf’s body and mind, but he fights on convinced that death in battle is the only end for him.

Tayla. (Human Rogue) Ten Steps Ahead. Once a merchant of the Twilight Syndicate and a master of gambling, Taylamade a rare mistake, losing her memory of family to a witchin a game of chance. Now she adventures with the Hand hoping to find something to trade back or, failing that, to steal it back. It's the kind of convenient excuse that happens often around Tayla, a woman who plans for every contingency, checks every exit, and always has a plan. The only difficult part is making it look so effortless.

Kalchas. (Half-orc Cleric). Minister to the Fallen. Vibrant, energetic man festooned with talismans to the gods, his mission is to reach out to the very worst sinners and convince them to disappear from the lives they have, and become someone better. An ex-thief of no reputation, he was himself saved from these same streets by an elder mentor now long since passed. His eternal patience grinds on his companions,somewhat, but his commitment and battle prowess are never called into question.
