Avamar (Realm)/Formation

BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLACK HAND

Image coming soon!

The Brotherhood has been accused by its enemies for various perverted doings, evil things, criminal acts or even terrorism! However, it had always been a political-philosophical organisation which aims to bring Justice, Equity and Freedom to all Realms that are ruled by arrogant councils, isolated from the People, lost in their perverted views and the twisted desires of their leaders...

Dear reader, open your mind! Read the original documents that were circulated amongst the Brotherhood and the People of West Sirion and decide by yorself! Do not listen to rumors but only the true voice of your heart!

Here is the whole story of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand through our Mandates, Declarations, actions and "plots" that led to the sucesfull -but nevertheless peacefull- Coup D'Etat in West Sirion. It can be seen as the History of West Sirion or Avamar as well, or as a tale of conspiracies, rebellions, uprises and treasons. The involvement of Sirion and the attempt of Doc not to loose a "puppet realm" is clearly visible and the whole current situation in the East Continent can been explained through the study of the following documents:

The Initial Contact

This message was sent privately to most TLs of Former West Sirion in September 4, 2004:

"We, as members of The Brotherhood of the Black Hand, aim to change the order of things in the W.Sirion, reversing the status quo and the political conditions concerning the way our realm is governed.

We will attempt to establish a council, consisted ONLY of trusted troop leaders, which are enthusiastic, active and not yet experienced.

We strongly protest against the way decisions are taken and implemented, against the offensive character of (most) old players. This is going to change either by legal means or violence. The current leaders will have the choice either to remain in our side abandoning their political rights, or to be expelled from W.Sirion.

We believe in a future, where all decisions will be taken in harmony. Diplomatic relationship with other realms will be based in realistic reasons and not to some strange and unknown facts of the past.

Each of our decisions is based on participatory procedures, discussions and common ideals. No leader exists and Sir Lalakis is the only one, which act as our representative and link between us all. In case that Sir Lalakis is not available, the Brotherhood will remain inactive, until the appointment of a new representative. In such case, the contacts between our brothers will remain in minimum level and ONLY between brothers already known.

More plans will become known, as brothers will prove their faith.

The Plan for a Peaceful Coup D'Etat

September 21, 2004

That was the plan circulated amongst the members of the Black Hand and the supporting TLs of West Sirion:

"I forward you the following suggestions, it’s up to you to follow them or not.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL!!!

“Being fully responsible for our actions we SUGGEST to our Brothers and Supporters the following:

1. The key date is the 1st of October. Set your JUDGE voting to: Lalakis. Leave the second and third voting boxes empty. Concerning the ruler, keep voting the current Tyrant.

THIS IS AN ISSUE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE!!! DON’T FORGET IT!

2. Try to gather prestige, participating in combats until the 28th of September BUT KEEP YOUR MONEY! Try to recruit only few men, just enough to gain prestige through combat. In case of money shortage, ask the council to send you money!

3. From the 29th of September CEASE all combat activities and move back to Avamar! Don’t recruit more men, just wait there saving money. Find an excuse NOT to move further than Montijo for the following days. You have to protect yourselves from any potential wounds! We have to participate ALL into the following elections! Only through collaborative actions we can expect a positive result!

4. From the 2nd of October things will dramatically change. You have to remain active during these days. Further instructions will be issued just after the elections. All given promises to our Brothers and Supporters will be fully kept.

Although we are based on dialogue and participatory procedures we realize that the only way to change the current situation is under secrecy. However, we believe in common action and we treat ALL troop leaders as individual thinking and fully responsible persons. And that is why, as a Brotherhood we ONLY suggest and NEVER order. That is our commitment.

We call you all in Action! The time has come!

For West Sirion!

Brotherhood of the Black Hand”

The Mandate

September 30, 2004

Here it was the Mandate of the Brotherhood and the final call for action! It is impressive that ALL TLs that were contacted replied positively! The corrupted regime was experiencing its last days...

"Dear Brothers, Sister and Supporters,

It seems that there has been a traitor amongst us! However, it doesn’t matter anymore as the time for change has come!

But before revealing you the whole story, please allow me to put some things at the proper order…

It is rather important to know that THERE IS NOT A PLOT to surrender our beloved realm! I repeat…: THERE IS NOT SUCH A BETRAYAL UNDER CONSIDERATION! We fight for a truly independent realm, not ruled by Oligarchians or Sirionese or Coimbrans!!! That is why we intend to renegotiate ALL our diplomatic relations and links with ALL other realms, without being based on historical elements, personal empathy, or past treaties but ONLY on the benefit of our realm! If we reach favorable agreements we are ready and willing even to break old alliances and form new ones! The good of W.Sirion is above all other things!

So, dear Brothers, Sisters and all that you have decided to fight for a change…Here is the mandate of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand:

1. We will attempt to win the elections. Right afterwards all diplomatic relations with other nations will be set to peace or neutral. Negotiations will begin!

2. The newly elected Council will be TEMPORARY and it will be consisted ONLY by Brothers/Sisters or Supporters of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand! Its main task will be to handle this critical situation of change.

3. From now on, there will be EQUAL opportunities to ALL TLs of W.Sirion! ALL decision will be taken in a participatory way, through dialogue and voting between us!

4. If we win the elections, we will enter a short (1-2 weeks) transitional period, during which we will discuss EQUALLY all priority issues of high importance, such as positions in the council, the fate of our former “rulers” (or I should say Tyrants?), the diplomatic change procedure etc, ALL in a TRANSPARENT way, ACCESSIBLE to all, INFLUENCED by ALL no matters which is their position in the temporary council!

5. After this period, the elected ruler will step down and FAIR elections will take place, to choose our Prime Minister AND the new council which will lead us to a new era of Glory! This council will be fully committed to keep W.Sirion a land of FREEDOM and EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES! The ruler won’t act as a dictator EVER AGAIN! His decisions will be taken after consideration and broad discussion with ALL citizens through a democratic process! The members of the council and the Dukes won’t rotate in an endless circle of the same persons again and again in an endless circle of indifference! We are able to decide in a mature way, who will be the one to represent as from now on-in each commanding post, from Battle Group Leaders to Dukes and Councilors!

6. All Brothers, Sisters and Supporters AND ONLY THEM, will form the “Esoteric Order of the Black Hand”, their trust level will be set to “Fully Trusted” and they will be informed for ALL political, military or financial developments, decisions, replies from other Rulers etc. In that way they will be able to protect a true democracy in that realm for the first unstable period to come!

IT IS CRITICAL TO LET US KNOW WHO IS WILLING TO HELP US IN THIS PLAN!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, LETTING ME KNOW IF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO FOLLOW THIS PLAN! NOT ANSWERING WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE CONSIDERED AS DISAGREEMENT.

Try to log in again BEFORE the elections! At that time the voting suggestions will be issued. Since then keep your voting settings unchanged:

RULER: Whomever JUDGE: Lalakis

We suggest you also to move back in AVAMAR as soon as possible! Recruit an army and set settings (In paperwork): Infantry, First Line - defensive, Archers, Second Line - defensive. Even if we win the elections the Tyrants may initiate a rebellion and we need to be prepared!

Awaiting for your reply,

Sir Lalakis of the Black Hand

Revelation: The Time has come!

October 1, 2004

This is the revelation of the Black Hand and its supporters. It was issued just few hours before the elections... You can read it also as a briefing (which actually was, as many new supporters were not fully informed yet)

The Brotherhood of the Black Hand

The initial idea was discussed between Sir Loungra, Sir Tzoutzoukos and Sir Lalakis. It was the behaviour of the council that forced us to act that way. Arrogant and indifferent toward new troop leaders, they had never attempted to bridge the chasm between the high level of political decisions with the simple troop leader that was fighting in the front line, not knowing why, and never informed about the decisions concerning him and taken for him. The only orders issued were concerning for a particularly long period only punishments, accusations and rude comments! Additionally all positions of power were always occupied by the same persons and there were never fair elections or even discussion for ANY position (not even for a BG Leader!), no matter how active and devoted a TL would be. We were all stuck in an endless circle of rotating power between the same persons again and again. Consequently, there was an increasing dissatisfaction between all the TLs although the initial spark was missing. That is what we tried to achieve… And we make it come true! The support of most TLs (actually all except from the council are either supporters or neutral!) was really amazing and we since then welcome many brothers and friends in our rankings… It was matter of time for the change to come!

The Commitment Although we are based on dialogue and participatory procedures we realize that the only way to change the current situation was under secrecy. However, we believe in common action and we treat ALL troop leaders as individual thinking and fully responsible persons. And that is why, as a Brotherhood we ONLY suggest and NEVER order. That is our commitment.

Rumors for a Plot It is rather important to know that THERE IS NOT A PLOT to surrender our beloved realm, as it was spread by the former Government! I repeat…: THERE WAS NEVER SUCH A BETRAYAL UNDER CONSIDERATION! We fought for a truly independent realm, not ruled by Oligarchians or Sirionese or Coimbrans!!! That is why we intend to renegotiate ALL our diplomatic relations and links with ALL other realms, without being based on historical elements, personal empathy, or past treaties but ONLY on the benefit of our realm! If we reach favorable agreements we are ready and willing even to break old alliances and form new ones! The good of W.Sirion is above all other things!

The Mandate So, dear Brothers, Sisters and all that you have decided to fight for a change…Here is the mandate of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand:

1. We will attempt to win the elections. Right afterwards all diplomatic relations with other nations will be set to peace or neutral. Negotiations will begin!

2. The newly elected Council will be TEMPORARY and it will be consisted ONLY by Brothers/Sisters or Supporters of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand! Its main task will be to handle this critical situation of change.

Good Luck my friends! Tomorrow a new day will rise!
