The Hand are an ancient set of fraternal organizations that are tremendously important in halfling culture and society. Membership in these societies is very selective: perhaps one in ten halflings belong to a Hand. It is also a great honor and members of a Hand are usually respected members of a tribes' leadership. The Black Hand do not operate openly, and are not even spoken of openly by the superstitious.

Five of the six Hands date back to the breaking of the Wolfen-Khan and the assimilation of the halflings. These societies transcended the old blood and clan lines and helped bring cultural unity to the scattered halfling tribes.

The White Hand was formed in the first century of the Alexandrian church by early halfling missionaries.
