[edit | edit source]History
[edit | edit source]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
[edit | edit source]In Living Greyhawk
[edit | edit source] | This section contains content from the Living Greyhawk organized-play campaign. |
Zeech was expanded upon in Living Greyhawk, where according to the Unofficial LG Bandit Kingdoms Summary, his split from the Shield Lands was in response to his attempted arrest by the Knights of Holy Shielding, who held suspicions that he murdered his parents for their title.[1]
He also had an older brother, Zered, slain by bandits near Riftcrag in 576 CY, and a sister, Nadalie.
Zeech married a Johrase noblewoman in 591 CY, and attempted to marry his sister to Baron Morannon, a title given to the winner of a joust, which turned out to be a PC, a dwarf warrior. The marriage was quickly annulled.
Finally, in 598, when his sister was saved from assassins by adventurers, Zeech had an epiphany and returned to the worship of Heironeous, ordering the construction of a temple to the Archpaladin next to a recently completed temple of Hextor.
