Introduction

The Seventh Hand is a faction of crafters established in the city of Ne’haer. Commonly known as the ‘Hands’, the faction is divided into seven sectors that include and encompass much of the known crafts throughout the world. This faction is extremely independent and contribute to a large part of the city’s manual labor, agriculture, and medicine. Becoming a member to a sector of the Hands is quite beneficial, but brings with it its own burdens that must be carried by each member.

Initially started as a council to govern the crafts of the city, the Seventh Hand grew to quickly encompass all craftsman in the city. Though there are a few independent artisans, most belong to the Hand in some capacity or another.

The Hand provides support for the individual craftsman, allowing them a certain amount of autonomy in exchange for their hard work and dedication to their individual craft. Though initially only encompassing craftsman, the Hand grew to allow manual laborers of all sorts in the city.
