Secret Societies

What follows is a description of the major secret societies and organizations of Éran.

The Black Gauntlet

Not an organisation in itself, the Black Gauntlet represents a secret, actively revolutionary brand of the Steel Fist. Their basic aims are the same, but the Black Gauntlet has resorted to more forceful means to achieve their goals and do not consider themselves above asassination and outright revolt if they believe this will further their aims.

They are even more intolerant of magic than the regular members of the Steel Fist and actively hunt down and asassasinate mages when they can get away with it.

Membership of the Black gauntlet is kept secret among its members even from other members of the Steel Fist. A power struggle may be looming within the Fist, as tension grows between the traditional faction and the more radical and covert faction of the Black Gauntlet.

It is believed that the Gauntlet is headed by a highly secret trio of high-standing generals in the west. For now, they are believed to be loyal to the Barbed Hand, though it is uncertain whether the two factions differing policies will continue to be compatible.

The Barbed Hand knows of the majority of the activities of the Black Gauntlet and tolerates most of it, due to the power of the faction within the Steel Fist. It is believed at least one member of the hand is also part of the leading trio of the Black Gauntlet, thus securing that the Hand a certain degree of unified control of the activities of the two factions.
