Order of the White Hand

Much of the inspiration and details is derived from Colombia Games

This secret Ancient and Esoteric Order of the Gentle White Hand is made up of masters of various magical disciplines and has the purpose of dealing with the unsanctioned illegal use or abuse of magic. They deal with renegade arcanists, interplanar invasions, and cover-up magical events that would bring the wrath of the normal non-magical folk.

They want to prevent a re-occurrence of the Wizard Lothrim, the Foulspawner creating orc armies and attempting to take over the world

An example of the White Hand in action would be a wizard using her magic, such as fireballs, to help her knight brother capture a keep. Using magic in this way is not sanctioned by the guild as it may encourage other non-magical authorities to restrict spellcasters or, worse, start the persecution of mages.

The White Hand would declare the wizard renegade and attempt to kill her if possible. The civilians who witnessed the fireballs would have their memories changed; all they remember was swamp gas exploding, and if possible, the original owner of the keep would be restored.

The White Hand has agents in all the main cities and is headquartered in the Cherafir chantry on the Kingdom of Melderyn. It is an invitation-only organization that selects the best, brightest, and most loyal among the various Guilds of Arcane Lore.
