The spirit of the Horned Society lives on in Redhand and few relish the rule from Dorakaa. It was a move many of his rivals recognize as necessary, but no less repulsive. In a desperate bid to save his land (and life), Prince Zeech, an effete renegade Shield Lands lord, allied himself with the Old One in 583 CY. The Church of Hextor rose to prominence inside the new monarchy, supported in part by Prince Zeech, himself a dedicated priest of the war god.Īfter years of conflict, the Horned Society was crushed. For this, he has never been forgiven by the Shield Landers. As city after city fell, Prince Zeech and his forces stood neutral by the sidelines. In 579 CY, the Shield Lands were invaded by the Horned Society. Redhand formally broke with the Shield Lands in CY 577, betraying the nation to the Horned Society and becoming one of that nation’s most powerful allies. The Rhenee bargefolk make up a sizeable part of the population, and the port is filled with them.
