all important intormanon worn cnac prouucc.

Oerth is a changed world; the events of the terri-

ble Greyhawk Wars (documented in the boxed set

of the same name) have altered it forever. Istus,

goddess of Fate, endlessly spins her web of

changes. The Great Kingdom is no more; Fu-

ryondy, Nyrond, Keoland, and the powers of

Good are much weakened; fell Iuz stalks the Fla-

naess, grown great in power; and the sinister Scar-

let Brotherhood schemes from the Dramidj

Ocean to the Oljatt Sea. Oerth is a grim and dark

place now. Yet it is still a world of unsurpassed

magic, great heroes and legends, romance, and

mystery. It is a world that accommodates the very

best AD&D@game campaigns.

Within this box, you will find the following:

h, the planet that is home to the

EYHAWKO boxed set, updating

by the update and expansion

sting for the areas around the

wns, castles, ruins, dangerous

:ations, mercenaries, human-

om, iyrbs, auventure hooks, and much more.

It is a treasure trove for the DM wishing to set

campaigns in and around the Free City.

-I-- 3

Two full color mapsheets of the Flanaess,

and a full color mapsheet for the Campaign

Book.

Twenty cardsheets that include a wealth of

useful material for the DM. These include 14

cards of reference material (climate, calendar, the

rulers and peoples and resources of nations, and

encounter tables for the Flanaess) and six mini-

adventures set in the lands described in the

Campaign Book. Each of these is suitable for a

short gaming session (an evening or so) and al-

lows the DM to use From The Ashes almost at

once.

The 96-page Atlas of the Flanaess (you’re

holding it now). This book gives a broad intro-

duction to the lands of the Flanaess, the eastern

part of Oerth‘s major continent, Oerik. TheAtlas

guides the reader through history, ancient and

modern, and summarizes the events of the

Greyhawk Wars. This book includes a section

called the Cyclopedia of the Flanaess, which de-

tails the peoples of the Flanaess (races, lan-

guages, beliefs, and more), as well as their lands,

free cities and regions, wild lands, and mysteri-

ous places of the Flanaess. Module settings and

adventure locations are also included here, as are

many adventure hooks and tales of the first year

of peace. The conclusion of this book addresses

the great deities of Greyhawk and includes rules

for their servants, updating the information for

AD&D@2nd Edition game rules to include spe-

cialty priests.

Five pages of monsters in the Monstrous

Compendium format.

Players who have adventured in Greyhawk

have no doubt recognized some discrepancies

between the WORLD OF GREYHAWK boxed

set and AD&D@2nd Edition game rules. To

most easily cure these discrepancies, some sim-

ple changes in game concepts must be em-

ployed. For example, the monks of the Scarlet

Brotherhood are no longer monks of the original

edition rules, but are now priests who use the ti-

tle to reflect their monastic orientation. Their

character classes have been altered slightly.

Rules for characters such as rangers in the

AD&D 2nd Edition game are now simply as-

sumed to be part and parcel of the world of

Greyhawk, and so on. The message to

Greyhawk DMs of long-standing is: it’s really not

so different now. Many Greyhawk gamers are

long-timers who share this author’s love of the

history, depth of atmosphere, and consistency of

Greyhawk. Many will have been lucky enough to

have experienced their first campaigns in this

* The96-page Campaign Book. This covers a

much smaller area-the lands around the Free

City of Greyhawk- in greater detail. Thegrowth

of influence of the Free City is explained: how it

has changed since the war, the new problems it

faces, and its relations with the lands around it.

This does not render the City of Greyhawk

boxed set obsolete; far from it. The Greyhawk

cessful in establishing settled lands wherever

they went, and any threat the Suel might have

offered to their dominance was soon eliminated.

Suel mages brought down the terrible Invoked

Devastation on the hapless Bakluni to the north,

but the last act of the Bakluni archmages was a

fitting reply. The storms of the Rain of Colorless

Fire reduced the Suel lands to choking dust and

ash. There were few Suel or Bakluni left to emi-

grate after that. The Oeridians had the upper

hand.

The fierce Oeridian tribes hardly had matters

all their own way. For two centuries, they fought

the Suel and the fragmented humanoids for pos-

session of the central lands of the Flanaess. The

Oeridians incurred the enmity of the Flannae

and demihumans of the lands as well. The arro-

gant Oeridians might have been overcome by

this mix of forces, but for one thing: the Suel

were far more unpleasant than the Oeridians

were aggressive. The Suel invaders lied,

cheated, stole, enslaved, pillaged, and killed out

of hand. Over time, the Flannae and demi-

humans allied with the Oeridians to drive the

Suel to ever more distant fringes of the Flanaess:

into the northeastern Barbarian lands and into

the southern jungles of Amedio and Hepmona-

land.

On the main continental land mass, the Suel

retained a foothold only in the southwest and in

the lands that would eventually belong to the

Scarlet Brotherhood.

Approximately 700 years past, the strongest

Oeridian tribe-the Aerdi-settled the rich ara-

ble lands east of the great Nyr Dyv and there

founded the Kingdom of Aerdy, eventually to be

named the Great Kingdom. The Kingdom grew

for well over a century, until it stretched from the

Sunndi swamplands to the south to the south-

western edge of the Griff Mountains to the

north; while from the islands now held by the

Sea Barons to the east (where the Aerdi mixed

with Flan blood), the Great Kingdom stretched

westward as far as the borders of modern-day

Perrenland. When the Overking of this mighty

empire declared universal peace on his ceremo-

nial crowning in Rauxes, he must have thought

his writ, and that of his descendants, would ex-

tend across those many lands forever.

The original inhabitants of the Flanaess were

the Flan tribesmen, hardy and tough nomads

whose small, scattered groups made no major

civilizing efforts. Some thousand years past,

their lands were increasingly invaded by two

groups of attackers: the Suel and the Oeridians.

The Suel fled from internecine strife within

their own lands and the great Baklunish-Suloise

Wars. They moved northeast across what is now

the Sea of Dust, across the formidable

Hellfurnaces and Crystalmist Mountains, and

spread widely across the lands before them.

The Oeridians began their migrations north

for similar reasons, fleeing the same war. Both

Bakluni and Suel forces employed mercenaries,

bandits, and any humanoids they could hire to

swell their armies. Their undisciplined rabble

were often only too happy to desert and attack

the Oeridians, also forcing them eastward.

The Oeridians were fierce invaders. They

drove everyone else, Flan and Suel, before

them. Of all the invaders, they were most suc-
