The Hand
An organized crime syndicate that operates out of Aerovane. They are a notorious smuggling ring known for trafficking all kinds of illicit substances.House Goldbrine
House Goldbrine is one of the main houses of the Akrillian League. Credited with the ivention, creation, and selling of the first airships, they used that opportunity to establish and maintain a positive relationship with The Kingdom of Zentrum. They are also one of the first groups to help fund the skyport. So it is not uncommon to see members of this group roam the city streets.History
Aerovane is one of the more recent cities established in the Kingdom of Zentrum. What initially was a smaller hub of trade along the border of the Akrillian League has become one of the most valuable points of transport for the entire nation. This is due to the Dead War and a high demand for resources, resulting in massive trade deals with almost all the houses in the League.
No house, however, provided a more useful resource than house Goldbrine; the airship. There are those who believe without those airships it is very likely Zentrum would have lost the war, and they may very well be right.
