Brother of the Scarred Hand

After the devastation of the Titanswar, many among both the titanspawn and divine races had of constant warfare. A particularly large sect among the followers of the more gentle titans, such as Golthain, Denev, and Mesos, dedicated themselves to curing some of the harm done by the war. The members of the Brotherhood of the Scarred Hand wander the Scarred Lands, using their unique magic and insight to aid those against whom they once fought.

The brothers employ a special form of healing magic that relies upon the sacrifice of the user's own life energy in order to aid others. As they practice tapping their own inner energies, the breadth of the brothers' power expands until they gain power to control the energies of life and death freely. Although the members of the Brotherhood profess that they simply wish to atone for the sins of their past, they are accepted only reluctantly by the victors of the Divine War. The brothers have eschewed worshiping any of the gods, instead focusing on their own internal perfection. This has caused some mistrust among the divine races, but as the brothers themselves recognize, only a fool would turn down a healing hand when in need.

The path of the Brotherhood of the Scarred Hand is rigid and difficult, requiring an inner discipline that few can achieve. Usually monks, druids, and sorcerers take up this path, although wizards and rangers may also learn to become brothers. Any of these classes may benefit from the healing and combat capabilities inherent in the class.
