[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9448438, member: 6787503"] The Yeomanry in Greyhawk is one of the suggested settings in [I]Return to the Keep on the Borderlands[/I], but the adventure itself doesn't reference Greyhawk. In fact, there's a Cyndicean NPC, so a Mystaran setting seems to have been intended although the adventure also includes Babylonian/Sumerian deities not used in Mystara. When I ran KotB a few years ago, I set it in on the border of the Yeomanry, influenced by the placement suggested in RttKotB although I put it on the east side of the Yeomanry instead of the west side suggested which would have required altering the geography described in the module, which wasn't to my liking. If I run it again, I don't think I would place it in Greyhawk at all, but at the time my goal was to run a Greyhawk campaign for which it was going to be the first adventure. I read the novelization which was supposed to be set in Greyhawk, but I don't remember much about it that had anything to do with Greyhawk specifically. Eta: The orginal module was written long before Greyhawk or Mystara as published settings were a thing, and the intent seems to have been for it to be a standalone adventure with its own setting.
