Greyhawk is a lot more coherent. It is sword and sorcery mixed in with chivalry and stories of barbarians, demons, evil groups and gods. The gods of Greyhawk have a more direct impact on the prime than Fearunian gods have. Iuz is in the world, has his own country and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of death on the continent. In the setting, St-Cuthebert can and will come to the aid on anyone fighting the Old One itself if it so happen. In the ToEE, it is possible that anyone mentionning Iuz outloud in the temple has a chance to see him come. If St-Cuthebert is called for help, he will appear and both gods will go somewhere else to settle their differences out of the way of mortals. It is not as strong as in Theros, but it is also more direct.The orders of knighthood are just that. Orders of knighthood. Only fighter type can be full members. Others can hope to be honnorary member but a caster will only be that, an honnorary member. Some orders are a little bit more lenient but even then, the fighter types are more prevalent. This is both something the new players can relate to very quickly and assimilate without a flinch and something that is alien enough from our society to be memorable. My first women character that got accepted into the Knights of the Holy Shield was litterally screaming at the table. She had accomplished something (it was 1ed.) Even today, not everyone can enter the Knighthood so easily as you can do in the FR. Wanna be a knight of Mythdrannor? Do a few missions for them. Whereas being a Knight of the Hart takes a lot more than that. Doing missions and getting paid makes you just a mercernary. Mercenaries don't enter the knighthood. I still use the old rules where you have to own lands, be a member of the aristocracy, and work freely for the order before even being considered. Magic users in GH still learn their trade with a mentor. The college of wizardry in GH is a place where you can learn with other mages, but to enter you have to be a full fledged wizard. No accademy as those you can have in the FR (such as the Host Tower of the Arcane in Luskan). With me, Greyhawk is not an easy setting. It is a harsh world where evil can be around the corner. If you don't do anything for anyone, no one will help you out. It is much more difficult to enter organisations as it is in the FR. You have to search and petition to get a chance to join them. This is Greyhawk.</blockquote>
