Hey all, I have a question about The Black Hand in general lore, and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere I look. Beyond this point the post is going to contain spoilers about the Dark Brotherhood across a few different games, so you've been warned. As we know the Black Hand is composed of 5 members (10 if you count the Silencers to the Listener and the Four Speakers). A client prays to the Night Mother using the Black Sacrament, and the Night Mother relays the message to the Listener, and the Listener appoints a Speaker to meet with the contact. The Speaker then chooses an operative of the Dark Brotherhood to fulfill the contract. Still with me? Good. However, the Speaker has other duties such as recruiting potential assassins and running the various Sanctuaries (both of these things were stated in Oblivion). Now, my question is this: If the Black Hand is only 5 members, how are the speakers to go all over Tamriel recruiting people, running sanctuaries, and meeting with contacts? That seems like a lot of work for a few people. I know that in the games they state over and over that there is just one Black Hand. However, would it make more sense that there would be one Black Hand/province? Otherwise each speaker is going to have to hoof it across all of Tamriel (or only two provinces each if they are organized better, but that still is a lot of area to cover). What do you think?
