Due partially to chance, the alien organism arrived via meteor impact near the Tiber river in Italy and thus the genesis of the name Tiberium. Nod's chief asset is its near monopoly on the Tiberium harvesting industry. However, there are several pieces of evidence, among them an ancient burial site featuring Nod symbolism, that substantiate this hypothesis. While they claim to have been around since before 1800 BC, it is commonly believed to be an exaggeration.

The Brotherhood of Nod, an ancient and secret society, maintains strong ties with most global terrorist organizations. TW3 flag (as flown on mosques in north Africa)Īrchived newspaper article concerning Nod's influence globally, based on Tiberium holdings Historical overview In the Third Tiberium War, protruding spikes were added to the design and the scorpion tail and triangle were given a white outline. The symbol of the organization is a black-rimmed red chamfered triangle enclosing a black curved scorpion's tail. It may be referring to the biblical Land of Nod, to which Cain is exiled: "Cain went out from Yahweh's presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden." The name 'Brotherhood of Nod' may have come from the Hebrew word Noded (נודד) which means wanderer, and is also the verb of the word Nod. The organization is also known as "The Brotherhood, The Ways of Nod, or ShaÆSeer among the tribes of Godan." While the word 'Godan' existed prior to the Brotherhood, it is unknown which meaning of the term is specifically referred to, so the exact meaning is still unknown.

Īt the end of the 20th century, the Brotherhood was officially designated a worldwide terrorist organization by the United Nations-sanctioned Global Defense Initiative for dangerous misuses of the Tiberium substance, the founding of a rogue military-industrial complex throughout disenfranchised countries, instigating social and political upheaval across first world nations, and for pursuing a total domination over the world's peoples and resources. Ĭore Nod beliefs include that Kane is an eternal prophet figure, whose guidance to humanity allegedly dates back through millennia of secrecy, and that Tiberium represents the catalyst for the next stage of human evolution. During the course of the 21st century, the Brotherhood began to exhibit the combined characteristics of a world religion, a massive decentralized nation-state, a high-tech multinational corporation, and an unorthodox superpower. Although the Brotherhood first emerged in 1995, the year of Tiberium's arrival, Nod had existed as an ancient and secret society long before this, and claims to have originally been founded around 1800 BC. The Brotherhood of Nod (often shortened to Nod or the Brotherhood) is a worldwide, quasi-religious and political movement devoted to the charismatic figure of Kane, and the harnessing of the extraterrestrial Tiberium substance by Earth's downtrodden peoples.
