Hidden Hand

"Hidden Ones" Brigand Mafia, they Dominate Rural Areas - Ties to Varros

Tier 3, Mafia

The Hidden Hand are a mafia who dominate the rural areas, and sometimes the towns, of the southern parts of the Empire. They thrive by making themselves useful to authorities: repressing unrest, silencing troublesome preachers, and robbing from merchants who compete with their patrons. Many of them go back and forth between a respectable life in the towns and a criminal life in countryside. A member of the Hand might spend two or three months a year in the hills as a brigand, then return to town to work as an enforcer and a ”trader” in stolen goods, knowing full well that no one will ask him too many questions.

Ties to Western Imperial house, Varros. This minor clan is part of the Empire, Northern Empire, Western Empire, and Southern Empire.
