 For ages, the City of Hands seemed to exist only in legend, a ruined city located somewhere in the Xenean jungles, overflowing with gems, but haunted by ghoulish spectres and strange phenomena where magic runs wild or is suppressed entirely. One particularly colorful notion about the city was that the buildings themselves are alive, able to sprout hands to catch the unwary, and that the buildings themselves could speak, telling secrets of old. Eventually, the actual City of Hands was discovered by an expedition sponsored by the Rephidim Temple, but it was believed to be destroyed later. For a time, it served as a secret haven for escaped Savanite slaves, ruled over by a mutant leader alternately known as Third-Vision, Third-Eye, or Jezebel. Eventually, the City of Hands no longer maintained its secrecy, and openly proclaimed its existence as a place for free Savanites, but it was overrun in 6099 RTR by the forces of the Nagai Empire, and destroyed. In recent years, there have been attempts by the people of the newly formed independent state of Xenea to restore the City of Hands, though not necessarily to inhabit it again. Replicas of some of the more noteworthy structures of the City of Hands can be found in the port city of Safar, in the theme park known as Safarland.
