Black Arm Gang

The Black Arm Gang are the arch rivals of the Phoenix Gang and are currently at war with them. It is led by Katrine Raven. The gang itself has one side of the Shield of Arrav.

According to Straven (the leader of the Phoenix Gang), the original members of the Black Arm Gang were once part of the Phoenix Gang. After a quarrel this faction broke away, split and took half of the Shield of Arrav in one of their battles, and formed the Black Arm Gang.

This gang is greatly involved with Shield of Arrav and Heroes Quest quests. The main base of the gang is in Varrock, but they also have another in Brimhaven.

Players without a gang can join this gang in the Shield of Arrav quest after giving Katrine two Phoenix crossbows. Also, players who have joined the Phoenix Gang will not be able to join this gang. Therefore, if you want to complete the quest, you need a friend who is not a member of the your gang.

Trivia

 * It is possible that the Black Arm Gang's name is derived from the rebellious group that tried to liberate Sarajevo from the Austria-Hungarian Empire and created the initial spark that lead to World War I, the Black Hand.
 * It could also possibly be connected to the The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as the Uruk-hai of Isengard are marked with "the White Hand".
 * It is also possible that the history of the Black Arm Gang breaking off from the Phoenix Gang is derived from the real life Los Angeles gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, as some gang members broke off from the Crips to form the Bloods gang during an internal gang war.
