> *"They're called the Gilded Hand. If they're after something, there's usually coin—or blood—at the end of it."* ## Description The Gilded Hand is a small mercenary company with a questionable reputation. Though undeniably capable, they are known as much for their ruthless pragmatism as their martial skill. --- ## Lore The company first came to the attention of many in Broadhurst after arriving at the Feather Bed Inn shortly before Violet's kidnap and ordeal in the Delian Tomb.. Though civil, they displayed an unusual interest in the ancient ruin and seemed eager to learn what others knew of its secrets. Whether they seek fortune, relics, or something far more dangerous remains a matter of speculation. Few who have dealt with the Gilded Hand would trust them with anything more valuable than a handful of coins. ---
