Rune's Hand



The Rune's Hand was a thieves group that first made an appearance in A Bridge Between Troubled Waters.

While they appear to be nothing more than a typical thieves guild, it is widely believed that they have a much bigger purpose, and have vested interests in most of the major cities around the Shining Sea. Little is known about their hierarchy, leaders, or bases of operations, but one thing is clear: they are well connected, rich, and always know what is going on in Calimshan. Thomas Smith has been known to work with them, and is believed to now be a high ranking member.

Those who know of such things, believe that this group is an arm of the Twisted Rune, a group of evil and powerful undead spellcasters that have run things in Calimshan for some time.
