== The Syndicate of the Black Hand ==
A secret organization that unites Shadow Priests and Warlocks. One can be known as a member by a Black Hand Tattoo somewhere on their body. The Organization is fiercely Criminalistic and based in Stormwind. It was founded by Saphrina Ayls when she found herself in Stormwind after the events that lead to her embrace of Shadow magic. Little is known about this organizations goals and or members. What is known is that the group has long ties to Lorderan and its people. Most of its members seem to be refugees from the North or somehow connected to the events there that surrounded its fall to the Scourge. These rumors are supported by the known ties of the founder to the Cult of the Damned. What the Hand wants or where its allies actually lie is uncertain. 
== Operations/Allies ==
Little is known as to the major or minor goals of the Syndicate. It is known that members are called out by the officers to perform tasks such as assassinations or interrogations after they have been trained to a suitable power with the shadows. The allies of the Black hand are also shrouded in mystery, it is apparent that it has powerful allies or it would have been snubbed out ages ago by its enemies. Saphrina Ayls has been seen in the company of many thieves, assassins, smugglers, and politicians, hinting that the Syndicates roots run deep. The Hand at times seems to merely operate as a vessel for Ayls' schemes and personal Vendetta's.
Even members of the Syndicate do not know of others within it. Only Ayls knows the full roster. Because of this we know only that Ayls is connected to the Syndicate.
== The Guild ==
New murmurs and whisperings about Stormwind indicate that Saphrina Ayls is once again seeking allies to further the Hands goals. To conact her one should send Mail, seek her out, or seek her allies.
