The Red Hand

The Red Hand

Symbol: Severed red fingers surrounding a black eye

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Worship: Nas'zus the Lich Lord

The Red Hand is a cult dedicated to the Lich Lord Nas'zus. As his "fingers" and "eyes" in the world, they sniff out information and for their dark master and attempt, through rituals and other means, to increase his power. In return the Undead King grants them information, boons and sometimes the "gift" of undeath.

Members of his cult are either poor souls who were so desperate for information they bound themselves to an eternity of servitude to the Lich Lord, or crazed power hungry zealots. While the cult is by no means small, two Hand rarely ever meet as each gains his or her orders straight from their Sigil of Nas'zus as the Lich Lord insists on secrecy.

The cult works from the shadows and is not known by many but its members are spread throughout kingdoms and cities, manipulating events to fall into Nas'zus's favor.

All members have a missing finger which can help in identifying them, however most just use fake fingers to cover this.
