The Squatter Kingdom. The City of Golden Knives. Anarchytown.

Handlestadt, an emerald poised between the hammer and anvil, where the eastern and western Golden Highways meet. To the north, the Servitor kingdoms and monster states. To the south, the barbarians and beasts of the Great Ulan. From the east and west, however, flow rivers of silver from a dozen nations which pool here for those strong and brave enough to drink.

In olden times, this area was known as "The Pinch," although nobody is really sure why. In the late 1430s or early 1440s, the entire region was destroyed by some unknown event. A new settlement was build on the shores of a large Crater Lake that formed after the event. It is under the dominion of no nation or king and is ruled by an oligarchic merchant council seen over by the Grand Doge, a position that shifts monthly between among the patricians of the council.
