Hg Black Hand Caverns

Black Hand Caverns (BHC)

As the construction of the road to Seld commenced in YOTR 291, the Black Hand Caverns (BHC) were routed and vacated by its former inhabitants. It is currently a mining and gravel pit, devoid of hostiles. The area is now known as Black Hand Mines. The Black Hand bandits however have moved to a new location. The BHC can now be found a ways off to the north and slightly west of Seld. Rumor has it that some secret areas (not shown on the map below) and various hidden treasures may be obtained.

Black Hand Bandit armbands & collars can be turned in to Salvare in Seld to earn reputation#Seld-Combat. The reputation can then be used to purchase items at Nominis' shop in Seld.
