	The Hands are powerful arcanists, and that power is fully supported by the government in practically any endeavor. The Hands use this governmental pass differently, depending on which type of Hand they may be. A Left hand will use this to defy laws in the name of the government for instance, by summoning an undead when the situation is critical. The Right Hand may use this pass to enforce restrictions harsher than normal. In either case, the Hands have the ability to do what is in the best interests of Sundren.

	Alignment with one faction or the other controls much of the everyday life of a typical Hand of Mundus. A wizard's affiliation is more than a simple association, rather it announces his ideological place within the organization, immediately making him or her allies and foes all at once.

	It has been said that the only time two wizards of opposite houses can work together is when something threatens them both. This seems to be near to the truth. Most historical examples show that the Left and Right can put aside their differences when Sundren is threatened. However, it also highlights that once such events pass, the bickering continues.

	Foremost, both sides look upon ~~sorcerors~~ and warlocks unfavorably. These "naturalists", as they often refer to them, do not earn their power and as such are believed to be unworthy of membership. Often, these individuals are forced to subdue their own magical talents, in order to pursue magical studies with either tower. Rarely, even after such a sacrifice, is a self-~~chastizing sorceror~~ or warlock accepted into the ranks. Each side has their own personal beliefs about those who are unwilling to limit their natural abilities, but none of them are positive.

	After Mundus' death of old age in 1230 both the Right and Left Hands were close friends and colleagues. Unfortunately this was not to last. Mundus left behind a large tome to his advisers and the Right and Left Hand on how Sundren should be run. Disagreements occurred over the interpretation of this text, and each Hand had their own personal philosophies they believed to be right.

	The Hands also have the ability to outrank almost any member of the governmental forces, be it Red Blade or Legion. A Hand can and will take control of a situation if the need calls for it, and has no qualms about doing so. This being said, there are some limitations on what Hands can do. For instance, an Initiate cannot simply walk up to a Defender Red Blade and demand that he do as the Hand says. With a higher rank comes more responsibility in the Hands, and it is usually Magi or above who are able to order around the higher ranking officers in the Blades or Legion. An Initiate can usually order ~~Immunes or lower~~.		The Hands also have the ability to outrank almost any member of the governmental forces, be it Red Blade or Legion.

	The original tower was later rebuilt as two, with the Tomb of Mundus residing between them. Each Hand resides at the top of their tower.

Each Hand resides at the top of their tower. They are rarely seen outside their chambers, and permit few visitors.

			Recently, during the restructuring of the Sundarian Military, the Hands of Mundus were given official authority of the standing legions. Each "Master" is capable of enlisting the compulsory aid of any military personnel short of the highest ranking officers.

			===The Right and the Left===

			Alignment with one faction or the other controls much of the everyday life of a typical Hand of Mundus. A wizard's affiliation is more than a simple association, rather it announces his ideological place within the organization, immediately making him or her allies and foes all at once.

			The Left Hand believes that magic is to be manipulated and studied for the sake of the gain to one's self and their country. They will sacrifice anything to pursue power and commit any atrocity to further their studies. Many are self-serving and loathe the idea of regulating magic to any extent unnecessary to safeguarding the public which funds their research. In accordance with this idea, left handed wizards do not mingle with the populace often and prefer to attend to research or studies. Rarely, some of their ilk will stray from the tower to investigate particularly powerful citizens, but alomst always with some insidious motive.

			The Right Hand asserts that magic is too dangerous to be left unwatched. They believe that because of their vigilance and foresight, Sundren remains mostly untouched by magical deviance. In their eyes, the study of magic is imperative but should be closely controlled, so it cannot be used for devious ends. Right handed wizards advocate daily intervention in the lives of the people and above all, promoting self-control when using magic. Typically, they are embittered, but well meaning people.

			Despite the stark contrasts, most Hands of Mundus can agree on a few issues.

			It has been said that the only time two wizards of opposite houses can work together is when something threatens them both. This seems to be near to the truth. Most historical examples show that the Left and Right can put aside their differences when Sundren is threatened. However, it also highlights that once such events pass, the bickering continues.

Often, these individuals are forced to subdue their own magical talents, in order to pursue magical studies with either tower.
