Brotherhood of Nod



"Darn the Brotherhood of Nod! If these guys can take you to that so called "land of Nod" where Kane can be your Sandman. Well, these guys are unholy and Satanic. I have no idea what these guys would try to show how ancient they are as a secret society back then prior to around 1800 BCE. Well, I bet these guys would've tried to kick our butts. As always."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Nodded Brotherhood

The Brotherhood of Nod (often shortened to Nod or the Brotherhood) was 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 after a meteor crash in 2025. Although Nod surfaced in 2025 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. 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 of human evolution.

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. Thereafter, Nod faced off against GDI in four Tiberium Wars, restoring itself after two successive defeats but finally achieved their goals in the two later conflicts.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, the Nod was originally a Coalition of the Red Star faction in the Fifth Tiberium War, but it betrayed this coalition and later joined the Grand Alliance in the Sixth Tiberium War.
