Hand of Halmar

One of the available cleric domains, the Hand of Halmar is one of the secret societies in Tal'Ria, devoted to death and destruction. Their principle belief is that all of existence began without life, and that the universe trends towards decay and disorder. Therefore, death is the true state of all existence, and life is the lie.

Most of the members are spies, assassins, and necromancers of one ilk or another, and are often in conflict with White Blades due to their necromantic rituals and associations. For the most part, members of the Hand are disinterested with consorting with demons and devils.

Some theorize that the Hand of Halmar was founded by the Veiled Exarch, one of the Seven, though the Hand was founded by the human assassin, Halmar, some five centuries after reports of the Exarch ended.

Their symbol is cupped hand, with a silver liquid pouring into and overflowing from it.
