With these attacks, many GDI bases were destroyed and many of them with little effort, whole GDI armies were wiped out before they could regroup and mount an offensive. Since Kane's revelation that he has returned, caused Nod forces to fight with such ferocity that hasn't been seen since the final defense of the Sarajevo Temple. Shortly after executing Hassan a massive assault on all GDI bases across the globe was initiated, catching GDI completely off guard, who at the time believed that Nod was in no way able to mount such an attack. To the astonishment of many Nod members, Kane revealed himself to be alive, shortly before Hassan was killed. The puppet leader was captured and executed in a ceremony marking Nod's reunification. Unfortunately for Hassan, the Black Hand leader, Anton Slavik, escaped an execution attempt and rallied his forces against Hassan. It is known that one of Nod's most influential leaders, General Hassan, was collaborating with GDI, keeping Nod relatively harmless. For quite a long time, they fought among themselves instead of against the GDI. This has devastated Nod forces which soon crumbled, the war was over and Nod was a shadow of its former self.įollowing the First Tiberium War, the death of Kane caused the Brotherhood to fracture into small armies. Unfortunately, during the ensuing battle the Temple of Nod was destroyed and believed to have killed Kane and most of the senior staff. The Final battle that had taken place was the bloodiest battle of the war as the soldiers of Nod would not quit nor surrender under the gaze of Kane, they fought with such ferocity and determination that GDI, even with their largest force they had deployed throughout the war, was struggling. Getting a few victories here and there did not matter as Kane's stronghold at Sarajevo was besieged by GDI. To their great surprise it was all a ruse and GDI was as strong as ever, one after another Nod forces were being pushed back.
Soon after they had gotten reports that the United Nations had stopped funding GDI due to these false reports, now believing that the GDI without its funding was crippled and weak Nod had decided to go on to the offensive and attack most if not all GDI bases on the assumption that it would be a swift and easy victory. Afterwards, Nod broadcasted a fake news report claiming that GDI soldiers razed the whole town on suspicions of the citizens being involved in Tiberium smuggling. When GDI managed to take the initiative to gain more support, Kane devised a plan to blame GDI for the slaughtering of the population of Białystok, Poland. In the First Tiberium War, the Brotherhood first launched an expansive campaign that eventually allowed it to take over most of Africa and launch a second campaign in mainland Europe. Thereafter, Nod faced off against GDI in many disastrous Tiberium Wars, restoring itself after each of its successive defeats.įor in-depth and canon information about the Brotherhood of Nod go here Sometime after the arrival of Tiberium, Nod was targeted as a terrorist group by the Global Defense Initiative, for actively using the dangerous Tiberium substance to fund a military-industrial complex in impoverished regions, primarily Africa, and pursue total domination over the world's peoples and resources. While almost all Nod activity is concerned with complex economic, military and scientific foci, its religiously articulated ideology drives this. Nod is linked to the three Abrahamic traditions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, but its followers do not belong to any of these three traditions. Reported beliefs include that Kane is an immortal prophet whose guidance dates back through their alleged millennia of secrecy, and that Tiberium is the catalyst for the next stage in human evolution. Although Nod surfaced in 1995 at the time of the substance's arrival, before this date, the Brotherhood was an ancient and secret society claiming to have originated prior to 1800 BC. The Brotherhood of Nod (often shortened to "Nod" or the " Brotherhood") is a popular, global, religiously developed movement devoted to the guidance of the elusive and charismatic figure of Kane, and the extraterrestrial Tiberium substance that arrived on Earth in 1995.
