D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

LOL of course they’d rename Glorioles!

Shibboleth was renamed Froghome. Fair.

Right, and it's probavly a quick shorthand to help new DMs remember those are the Viking lands.

Also, the Scarlet Brotherhood region is titled "Shar" now.

Really curious to see the write-up, but it really looks like it might be about as detailed as the original Folio.

Well the Scarlet Brotherhood was supposed to be a secret, so it makes sense to give that land a name other people would call it.

Shoulda called them the 'Red Monks of Thay'.

AdmundfortGeographer’s review from this low res image:




As much as I’d love including further north, west, and south, it is a good addition to the pantheon of Flanaess maps.

And the name Shar made its first appearance in the 2e accessory, The Scarlet Brotherhood, by Sean Reynolds.

I am very interested to know what is up with those in the text, if anything.

I will note that we are getting 5 sample Advebtures, with 15 maps between them. There are 6 dungeons named on this map, including one thst is in Quests from the Infinite Stiarcase (Tsojcanth). It is possible that the sample Advebtures may or may not relate to:

• Castle Greyhawk (near the Free City getting a poster ma)
• The Temple of Elemental Evil
• The Ghost Tower of Iverness
• Maure Castle
• The Tomb of Horrors

Ya know what, I said this sort of jokingly, but going back to the sources here this could actually work if they did only 3 Lecels for Castle Greyhawk and soke of the maps for Iverness include multiple Levels od the tower. That would explain why they are marked on the map (and Tsojcanth is free on Beyond, too).

Dunno about calling it "Aerdiaak," nothing in Google for that, but after the Great Kingdom collapsed, isn't appears North Province became known as Aerdy...but look, there is the Great Kingdom still there.

Somehow, Ivid returned.

Somehow, Ivid returned.

Someone traveled back through time and stepped on a butterfly, which h changed North Provinces name.

I just have to say, whenever I read this thread title, I hear it in Jim Ross's voice.

I'm happy with the new map. The name changes don't offend me (and, for the most part, already existed in previous lore). The name that didn't change and now sticks out is the Bandit Kingdoms!

My current campaign is apparently now in the Plains of the Ulakandar!

Cheers,
Merric
