History

Zeech was a lord of the Shield Lands until 577 CY, when he broke off from his nation and declared himself prince of a new independent realm. As with the rest of the Bandit Kingdoms, Redhand found itself under the rule of the Empire of Iuz by 583 CY. Zeech swore fealty to Iuz like some of his fellow free lords to spare him and his lands from an invasion.

Works

In Living Greyhawk
