| #2havardOct 07, 2009 12:20:01 | I'm just a n00b when it comes to GH, but I found this timeline useful en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Greyhawk_... Havard |

Here's a wiki timeline: www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=W... Here's the GreyChrondex: www.canonfire.com/cfhtml/ghchrondex.php Much of the events in Oerth's history are somewhat vague. When did the Isles of Woe sink? (Best guess is around 2000 years ago) When did the Tyrants of the Trask bring about the end of the City of the Summer Stars? What of Queen Ehlissa the Enchantress or Lum the Mad, or the City of the Gods? Greyhawk is a far less developed setting than the Forgotten Realms, so there's a lot we just don't know. We don't know what the Year 1 in the Suloise Dating system means, or what Year 1 in the Flan Tracking represents. Which is a good thing, from some perspectives, because it means there's less crap. |

ANd because not everything has been pinned down, decided, detailed, and chronicled, the DM has a great deal of leeway. |

Use the sitemap on the Site History page to get a good overview of what I have.

Here is one we used ... compiled from various sources and includes the canonical greyhawk events www.assassins.org.au/history.htm I hope it helps. |
| #8jeffb2066Feb 16, 2011 20:14:00 | Some of the old basic/expert adventures are actually set in Greyhawk, namely the various Blackmoor modules (City of the Gods, Adventures in Blackmoor, Temple of the frog). These modules give some ancient history of Greyhawk/Flaeness. B4 The Lost City is set in the western desert region and gives a little information. |
