The Order of the Black Hand

rdfs:comment

The Order of the Black Hand is a group of Necromancers led by the lich Faradun. In it's early stages called the Hand of Demise.

The Order of the Black Hand is a group of Necromancers led by the lich Faradun. In it's early stages called the Hand of Demise. It was a cult of mainly necromancers that seeked to restore the scourge and had the dream to turn Azeroth in a land of the dead. They failed in that attempt however and where nearly eradicated by the Conclave of Purity a longer time ago. Although two cultists survived the raid of the Conclave, their leader Faradun was slain by them, that time still human and mortal. His last words, before they murdered him, were that it wouldn't be over. That suggests that he remained in the mortal realm as a restless spirit. Truely no remains, except the burned skeletons of ghouls, of Faradun were found after the camp was burned down to the ground. And in truth the two cultists that survived the attack, recovered Faradun's dead body and continued doing Faradun's biding, even though he was a ghost now. Overthe time it was speculated that many attacks of the undead that were directed against Darkshire and other settlements of the Alliance, were commanded by this organisation in order to weaken the Alliance's hold in the certain areas. It could never be proven though. The cult possesses a special artifact that was discovered by Faradun himself within the walls of Lifescorn Barrow. A signet ring out of pure steel. A small skull with a veil aura adorns the ring itself. They called it "The Deathreaver's Signet". It's purpose remains unknown even to most members of the Order however. Though it is said that the Ring seems to be unstable, since it sems to flicker at some time. Faradun assumes that the Ring isn't there physically, but also is the there at the same time. Interdimensional. Though no one knows what this could mean. Recently however they discovered that the ring seems to possess the abillity to absorb something that they call "Death Energy", though they need to continue studying what exactly these energies are and what the original purpose of the ring is. The Order's slogan is; "Death is only the beginning."
