History and Agenda between 2002 and 2010
The Black Hand is a House located primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Our primary goals are the promotion of Boffer related sporting in the Northwest, and the spread of midieval and renaisaince re-creation culture throughout the clubs who participate in similar activities.
The Black Hand was founded in August of 2002 by Lord Blapticus Le Terni' of Mystic seas. The original membership consisting of Blapticus (then MA to Sir Lucifer Bolt Ten Dragons),Squire Nanzo(also to Lucifer) and M@A Filthy (again servant to Lucifer). Since then Squire Nanzo has left the Black Hand to persue the posibility of following his knight into service with Annihalus Company. Filthy has not been sighted in 6 years.
The Black Hand first apeared in strong numbers at PAC WAR 5. There were 16 members in atendance and our colours were white wool with purple and green trim, oficers wore purple with black and white trim. Company colours changed again a year later (2004) to Blue with Black trim and silver or grey accents. This colour scheme is still in use today.
Since 2002 the Black Hand has undergone many changes. The most profound was changing from a Amtgard fighting company to a "free held house". What this means to the Blackhand is often confusing to outsiders, but basicaly can be summed up in three words... "NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE". Today the Black Hand by compulsive ruling registers its credits with the Amtgard Holding of Mystic Seas, where we started (though our relations with our home land have often been rocky, once leading to the Black Hand joining the Kingdom of VSR.) Officially though the Black Hand views itself as a free group almost a holding unto itself. We run a tuesday night fighting practice in SW portland (founded in 2006) which is sanctioned by the holder of MS and offers Amtgard credits to its participants. The Black Hand was awarded the Order of the Flame by King Moonshine of Blackspire in 2006, and again by King Shortround in 2010.
Since 2005 the Black Hand has built itself a reputation for roleplaying Pirates and Highway bandits at various clubs around the NW including Amtgard, The SCA, Belegarth and various loosly organized "pirate eventing clubs".Membership is by invite only, none may simply petition. To find out more, or to expose yourself to the cold gaze of our officers show up for tuesdaynight fights.
The agenda of 2012!
During the summer of 2012, one of the crew mates, Bambie had returned. One of two who has made remarkable feat of strengths within the company and household. Since the summer of 2009 he had rose up a rank between eight to twelve months. Finally he had achieved the goal of taking the captain's hat to lead the fighting company and household along with two other fine partners. A revolution as been spurred with the oncoming storm Draugr Wraith has brought to change the image of the company. Together, the evolution of the company has started. Knighthoods are now something one could pursue within the company thanks to Leto's effort in the early months of 2012. Draugr Wraith has started Casual Mondays, a day to unwind and relax and either his living space or Bambie's living space. Casual Mondays is a time to spend having a good time, getting to know each other, and a place to bring new recruits to introduce them to the Black Hand. One of Bambie's goals as the youngest Triumvirate to be is to bring balance between the Triumvirates and to create a structured system to follow if and when problems occur.
