The Chronicles of Keoland - Nyhan I
gvdammerung writes "The Chronicles of Keoland begins with a discussion of the reign of the first king of Keoland, Nyhan I. In Keoland's earliest days, the nation was still forming, still developing institutions, customs and protocols that are now, some 800 years later, taken for granted. Nothing, however, was certain about Keoland's future when its first king was crowned. Much has changed with the passage of centuries and to look back in time is to know a very different Keoland, a Keoland that only time and experience would transform into the nation that is now thought of as almost synonomous with the Sheldomar Valley. Turn now to the first stirrings of the Kingdom of Keoland and its king, Nyhan I. Much will be familiar. More will be different. Future entries in the Chronicles of Keoland will continue the kingdom's story through its monarchs. In the process, the kingdom's history and development will be revealed - how what was came to be what is."

Treasures of the Wegwuir

The tables are constructed to yield the same gp value as the standard AD&D 1st Edition treasure tables, but to give results more specific to the Wolf Nomad culture: mostly furs, horses, and gems. Thus, a DM whose campaign enters the lands of the Wegwuir now has a tool for the rapid generation of treasures with site-specific flavor."

This will by no means be a complete catalog of vampires from Aerdy to Zindia, as much as such a resource would be inexhaustibly useful, but will hopefully infuse some (forgive me) “fresh blood” into the vampires of the Greyhawk campaign world."

Keoish Intelligence Report from the Pomarj

But little reliable information has been recorded regarding his western front, the Disputed Territories of the Principality of Ulek, or of changes within the Pomarj itself. Keoish agents have recently returned to Niole Dra with updates from within this dark land. This information has been spread to government agents of Keoland, the Principality of Ulek and the City of Greyhawk. Adventurers with appropriate connections to law enforcement, military, or intelligence agencies of any of these three nations can have access to the following information.

Furthering my original article The Palish Path of Pholtus, this piece features the Pale's conquest of Nyrond, Urnst and much of Tenh, and also describes the founding of an Orc-Hobgoblin nation - Sil-Krag - in northern Tenh, as well as the Battle of the Phostwood (where the elves and humaniods became allies).
This alternate future is the basis of my current campaign - The Stroun Campaign - in which the PC's call Stroun their home and attempt to defend it from the advancing military might of Sil-Krag."

The Future: The Palish Path of Pholtus
Peering into the seer's orb to catch a glimpse of the future, we can see that the events which will happen and those which may happen are not always kind to the peoples of the Flanaess.
