Loosen a thief's tongue with enough piss-cheap wine, and the scoundrel may lustily tell you tales of the Hand of Glory — a magical talisman, said to be the severed hand of a hanged criminal, dipped in wax rendered from the corpse's tallow. The fingers are candles. The glow of their witch light can only be seen by the bearer of the hand. The ghoulish talisman can open any lock or door and put every soul in a home to sleep. Mystery upon mystery trapped in the melting wax and goblin fire...

And so it is that Ela Shan chose the Hand of Glory as the name for his new flock of thieves. Treachery and ill luck destroyed Ela Shan's old guild and saw him arrested. But bad fortune and steel fetters cannot keep the All-Reaver down — he who makes locks gasp open with his caress — he who brings fame and stealth together in an impossible marriage. The Hand of Glory is still in its infancy, but it sprouts new fingers to work mischief upon the nighted streets.

Hand of Glory is a faction in Coast of Ardashir. Completing the main questline will introduce the player to Ela Shan, and through him the players can increase their standing with the faction.

There are some blue quality weapons to buy at lower ranks intended for lvl 50 players, and a Rhino mount at Rank 4.
