Peace Among Worlds
I want to learn anything and everything I can about what canonically happened in (that is, the in game history of) the Greyhawk setting, from the modules published before I was born to the Living Greyhawk campaign that wrapped up just as I was getting really into D&D.
The most accurate and complete Greyhawk wiki available is not all that complete, and I think the timeline in particular might be suspect. My understanding is that the last canonical thing to happen in Greyhawk was the 3.5 campaign Expedition to the Ruins of Castle Greyhawk so if i'm wrong about that, correct me.
I'm paying special attention to anything involving dragons. Compared to most other D&D settings or indeed any fantasy settings that have dragons, there don't seem to be a lot of named dragons in Greyhawk's history, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. (I'm aware of Dragotha and he is in fact the big bad of what I'm working on, but I want to know more about established dragons with names and personalities and goals, if any exist in Greyhawk. The setting, at least in its early days, seemed to just treat dragons as big scary monsters, which clashes with my understanding that dragons are big scary monsters, and most of them are also master manipulators with intricate schemes.)
But my interest is not limited to the dragons of Greyhawk. I'm curious about everything significant that happened in that setting up until now (the only lore I would say that I feel sufficiently brushed up on is anything involving the Circle of Eight, as well as the Battle of Emrody Meadows/Temple of Elemental Evil).
