The Disciples of the White Rod are not native to Negaria; they can be found on another plane of existence. However, items created by them, specifically belts, have been found here, likely imported by interplanar traders such as Grazby.

Little is known of them. They are a religious order, devoted to a goddess of pain, torture, and suffering. It is said that their name comes from the fact that this goddess bestows a white wand upon anyone who inflicts a great deal of pain and suffering in the world, be it intentional or not. The monks are said to reside in a place called The Lady's Hand Monastery, which is located high in a forbidding range of mountains on their home plane.

It has been rumored that monks dedicated to Evrak may have formed a version of the Disciples of the White Rod somewhere in southern Negaria. A competing rumor states that, inspired by some of the belts that have trickled here, an all-female group of monks dedicated to Dre'Ana have created their own Lady's Hand Monastery somewhere in Jechran, co-opting the name and creating a force for the greater good.
