The Hands of Ieriyn

Mission Statement

The Hands of Ieriyn (also known as "The Hands") are Wharftown's standing
militia founded to protect the sovereignty of the settlement of Wharftown
and safeguard the lives of its citizens.

Named after Ieriyn, "the Sailor's Star" which always points true North, the Hands are
not only protectors, but guides. They handle the settlement's diplomacy with other
organizations and governments, arbitrate interpersonal conflict between citizens,
and lead in times of war.

The Hands also strive to uphold the friendly, welcoming nature of the town, influenced
by the teachings of the Moonmaiden: "Let all on whom Selune's light falls be welcome
if they desire." They are accepting and tolerant of all those of good intent,
regardless of race. But those who have proved to be a danger to the settlement
are dealt with harshly.
