Silver hand

## Overview

Silver Hand is a global organisation and one of the two main factions which control the powers of the world, they are an enemy of the Academic Faction, which is the other name for Azure Badge, and are mainly made up of the descendants of Aristocratic Families.

## 5 fingers

Silver Hand is made up of a leading group of 5 people, known as the five fingers they represent the groups movements in different areas of the world. Di Chen’s grandfather is the second finger, and is the first higher up which Ouyang Shou has competition with. In Contrast Jack Dawson’s grandfather is the first finger and they have a lot of competition between the two for the leading vote on Silver Hand’s matters.

## Significant Members

Near the end of the simulation Silver Hand and Azure Badge come out into the open, with Silver Hand’s entrance bieng a lot more effective than Azure Badges due to them having monopolisations on various territories. Significant members of Silver Hand include Jack Dawson, the leader of the Dawson Empire. Di Chen the leader of the Great Zhou Empire as well as the numerous Mediterranean lords, such as Henry of the Gaule Dynasty, William of Tudor Empire and Cassilias of Spain.

## Silver Hand’s Influence

During the game Silver Hand exudes a vast amount of influence, they manage to keep up with Ouyang Shou despite him having knowledge of the future, and even managing to exert pressure over him at the global appearance. They kicked Ouyang Shou out of the Mediterranean and also pressured Australia into decreasing the trade rescources which are given to Great Xia.

## History

Silver Hand first appear after Feng Qiuhuang warns Ouyang Shou of the massive organisation behind Di Chen, and he first comes into conflict with them during the attack on the Japanese, with the Honda family getting two other groups in charge of Korea and Java to also declare war on China to try and decrease the effectiveness of Great Xia’s attack. Silver Hand first come into the open during the World War era, and splitting the word up with Azure Badge all territories either submit to them or become anomalies like the Indian Empire in South America or Great Xia in China. Silver Hand then start to wage war against Azure Badge allowing Great Xia to pull the strings behind the two groups, strengthening Azure badge when they are going to lose but not providing support when their equal, as as Ouyang Shou says, as soon as one of them falls the other will turn their gaze towards him.

## Attack on the Ottoman Dynasty

The real fall of Silver Hand is during their attack on the Ottoman Dynasty, the stronghold of Azure Badge. During the attack Azure Badge reach out to Ouyang Shou and through the Dawson Dynasty already bieng pressured and unable to help the Silver Hand empires in Europe, they manage to push back the attacking force through the betrayal of France, which was originally a silver hand empire, the loss of Spain to Great Xia as well as the defeat of England. This leads to Silver Hand falling from their position to challenge Great Xia and as Azure Badge was already weaker they also cannot fight against them. This battle leads to Silver Hands decline as well as the rise of Great Xia, as there is no longer and group which can exert pressure on them.
