Redhand, or the Principality of Redhand in full, is one of the Bandit Kingdoms.
History
Redhand was once part of the Shield Lands until 577 CY, when Zeech betrayed his nation, declaring himself prince of the new Principality of Redhand. During the Greyhawk Wars when the Empire of Iuz began expanding into the Bandit Kingdoms, Zeech quickly declared for Iuz in 583 to be spared the wrath of the Old One.
Geography
Borders
Redhand is the only Bandit Kingdom with a coast, specifically the Nyr Dyv's northern coast. To the west there is the Shield Lands, Reyhu to the northeast, and the County of Urnst in the southeast.
People
Religion
Iuz is the state religion, but Hextor is also popular, as Zeech is one of his clerics.
Notable individuals
Redhand is ruled by its prince, Zeech, from the principality's capital of Alhaster. The quaggoth Shag Solomon also lives there.
Government
Zeech rules from Alhaster, but has to report to Iuz clerics operating out of Balmund in neighboring Reyhu. Orcs based in Reyhu frequently clash with the humans of Redhand.
Relationships
Enemies
Zeech's betrayal has soured his image in the eyes of good-aligned nations such as the Urnst states and Furyondy.
