The Order of the Red Hand is a non-hereditary civil and military order established to recognise individuals who have served the interests of the Benacian Union as well as to bestow recognition upon the heads of state of allied and friendly nations.


Symbolism

The Red Hand relates to the myth of the Benac, the first settler of Benacia, from whence the name derives, who stained his hands with the blood of myriad beasts and savage inhuman monsters, committing a meritorious slaughter which cleared the land for human colonisation. The legend of the Benac resonates with the Humanist values of the Benacian Union, making it accordingly feature prominently in the iconography of the organisation.

History

Founded on 2.I.1703 AN by a unanimous decision of the High Presidium of the Benacian Union, the Order was earmarked 4,000 Benacian sovereigns for its establishment and the purchasing of land in the city of Chryse wherein to establish a temple for the conduct of suitable civic rites.

Leadership

From its inception in 1703 AN the Szodan of Benacia has also, by right, been the Grand Master of the Order.
