Knights of the Golden Hand

Powerful, pompous, and equipped with the finest in reliqs money can buy. The Knights of the Golden Hand are an elite fighting force used by the priesthood to assert force all over the continent to destroy both political dissent and piracy.

All those that oppose the will of Gabrialis know that one day, near or far, they will one day have to deal with the threat of these elite fighters.

 Palace of the Hand

The center of power in Gabrialis. Full of bureaucracy and capitalists masquerading as a religious order.

This temple of gleaming gold, shining white marble, and prismatic glass is host to a bustling collision of accountants, governors, trade representatives, envoys, and advocates.

Every day at the zenith of the sun, High Priest Pavel gathers all in attendance to participate in the liturgy of Gabriel in the great hall. A dazzling display of opulence perched atop the Angel’s head is resplendent with finely crafted filigree and exotic materials. Here, the light of the Golden Herald is focused.

Controlling the apparatus of Gabrialis’ booming economy requires a certain sort of person. The palace is a location designed to accommodate those people. A conference chamber is seated at its peak, used to convene the governors who have ingratiated themselves with Voller, Master of Reconciliation.

Cloisters flare out throughout the complex, facilitating the treatment of foreign envoys visiting to foster trade with their home cities.

Virtues of Gabriel

Remnants of the Archangel’s corpus have given rise to inhuman automata that now roam the palace.

Centuries of cohabitation have granted the priesthood enough understanding into the Virtue’s behavior to feel confident in their ability to control them. However, these beings are just unpredictable enough to remind the powers that be that the Angel’s will is ultimately their own.
