===== Section 86: Island Descriptions 6: Pincers =====
=== Introduction ===
The Pincers is the 6th region within the Wushanko Isles accessible by the Player Owned Ports minigame. This is where Felix the Black Marketeer lived before beginning his journey to the West. Its khans have armies of ships and soothsayers and wage war against each other at a whim. Quin lives here, in the palace known as Paradise.
The islands are joined together by massive bridges and dams in a failed attempt to engender togetherness and trust. It is a hotbed of intrigue and betrayal. Steel production here bolsters the massive shipping industry.
=== Pincers Islands ===
- Ashihama: A heavily fortified island known for the refinement and ambition of its citizens.
