The Left Hand of The Empire

The Left Hand of the Empire
The Left Hand of the Empire is the secret clan of the Empire. They nominally belong to the Crystal Water Clan but they do not obey the merchant princes in charge. They instead belong only to the Emperor. They are mostly unknown in the Empire except by myth and fireside stories. Many believe they do not exist at all but are instead a rumor spread by the Crystal Water Clan to seem more fearsome.

The truth however is that they do in fact exist and they serve the Emperor by dealing with problems without the usual niceties. They have ever been the hand that deals with assassination, poisoning, and ruination of the Empires enemies.

The Left Hand can be identified by a trailing Red Scrollwork that traverses down their sleeves left arm.

Stories of the Left Hand say they can read minds, cast spells, walk through walls, and even fly in some cases. The Empire can sleep safer at night knowing these people protect them in the darkest of times.

"What the Left Hand does, the Right Hand need never know." - From the Childs Story, "Rustiel, The Honorable Rogue"
