The Hidden Hand

The Hidden Hand is a network of magical beings and magic sympathizers that stretches throughout the land of Meridian. It is highly active in major city centers, where it operates under strict and careful secrecy to avoid detection by imperial Inquisitors and agents of Cassius' empire, but individuals involved in "the Hand" can be found in remote areas as well.

Information regarding high-ranking or influential members of the Hand is scant, with each individual sect of the organization preferring to remain as anonymous as possible and most operatives working under false names and identities and moving their bases of operation constantly.

Thieves' cant is used by many members of the Hand to communicate, along with other more high-level magical means such as telepathy or druidic runes when applicable.

It is rumored that the Hand is responsible for the increase of attacks on imperial supply caravans and for violent explosions that have been set off in city centers during Nationalist rallies.
