The Black Hand is a religious group that worships an entity known only as The Void. The Void itself is believed to protect the group, and the afterlife is said to be lived in eternal and peaceful darkness. But The Void is known for its hunger for unwilling souls, and so sacrifices are often made to appease it. The group is known for it's willingness to raid other groups in search of potential sacrifices, and is even known to demand the blood of their own when no sacrifice can be found. It is generally accepted that, by not feeding The Void at least a soul per week, a curse will be cast upon the group, dooming it to misfortune until The Void is finally appeased.

[justify]Chains bind your hands, rubbing against flesh, driving skin raw. Into the darkness of the cavern do the stairs descend, and on either side of you, guards robed in black. Eyes wide, you drift deeper through the caves, until the cool earth beneath your feet turns to chiseled stone, and the walls are lined with tapestries, crimson, gold, and faded, plastered with the print of a black hand. Torches light the twisting halls that have long since been carved into the cave walls, strange statues of unknown creatures standing vigil, firelight flickering in the reflection of your bright eyes. A broad door opens to reveal an alter, more robed figures standing in wait, and you hesitate, feet scuffing against the floor. With a jerk the guard drags you forward, and before you know it, you're in the sacrificial chamber, and they're laying you down on the cold stone alter.

The Black Hand is located within a mountain range, and lives primarily within caves, in which they've carved out structures within. The outside world is made up mostly of valleys, flowery in spring and summer, and chilled and snow covered in winter. Local wildlife consists of deer, bear, rabbit, various birds, and other small animals such as foxes. Inside the caves, the halls are lined with carvings of creatures that some depict as entities of The Void. These creatures are said to hold watch over worshipers to insure they're completing proper rituals. Various rooms branch off from the main chamber, and the many halls lead to the prison, the meeting room, the training hall, and the ritual chamber. [align=center][ref 1] [ref 2] [ref 3]
