Edena: The Dark Union of Oerth claims Isles of Woe. They sound like soo much fun. And in line with our ideals too!
William: Thanks for the info, i'll leave you and forsaken one to fight over skyleague now.
[edit]- Ignore previous stuff about sky league, Isles of Woe sounds much more fun

The Isles of Woe were mentioned in the 1st Edition DMG. They are believed to be submerged in the Nyr Dyv. They are listed in the LGG as a pre-Migration civilization.
I suspect they were primarily Flannae. However, I would like to imagine them as the ultimate evil meritocracy. Regardless of race, class or gender, if you could scheme your way to the top, you deserved to be there. (I have a culture like that in my own world.) It is likely that the efreet would not care for anyone who made frequent use of the Codex of the Infinite Planes.
Edena: How about putting 3 large isles in the Nyr Dyv, at least one within sight of Greyhawk city.
There was an evil and cruel people on the Isles of Woe. They were renowned for dark sorceries. The last leader was known as the Wizard Priest, who had access once to the Codex of Infinite planes which were probably the source of the Doom on his Isles.
It has long been feared in Greyhawk lore that the Isles of Doom and their dark rulers would return. They would likely be very skilled in conjuration/summoning magics.
For those playing dark powers, please start staking your claim now.
Edena:
What is the alignment of the Sky League. As I recall, the Oeridians and others who went east left when the Great Kingdom was a good power.

Kalanyr, perhaps you'd like to claim:
* Ivid the Undying and the City of Rauxes (Ivid the Death King, the Tarrasque, death knights, skeletal warriors, other undead, specially chosen monsters, large animated constructs) PL 15
for your friend.
That way there's no problem about the isles of woe, look up at my post.

I have looked at and written down on paper all your claims, counterclaims, withdrawn claims, recommended claims, and disputed claims.
I will now attempt to modify the Lists accordingly.
If there are any inaccuracies an hour from now, tell me.

If you want the Isles of Woe, you will need to work with Mr. Draco. I would still like the Sky League. I might yield my claim to another player, especially one who shows up shortly. Do e-mail people you know on the board about our little thread.
The Isles of Woe I think will add a lot to our fun. (Sounds a little odd saying it.)

I'm going to wait with claiming anything else beside what I have until just before we start, I think... New players might want to join, and these new realms (and some of the unclaimed ones) all speak to the imagination, and they might want to claim one.
It'll be pretty hard to keep conflict of interest out of my two current factions already, and I *am* a bit dim, after all

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
I have now modified the Main List, the Claims List, and the Arms Race List.
Would all of you please take a long look there?
If any mistakes are there concerning your claims, or disputed claims, or shared claims, post here so I can fix the problem.
Are there any other inaccuracies?
I think we are all getting a crash course in Greyhawk 101.
With a good start into Greyhawk 201.
If you haven't yet gotten a map of Greyhawk yet, for Heaven's sake get one. Otherwise, it will be hopelessly confusing.
Go to http://www.dogpile.com
Type in Greyhawk, and let the power of 15 search engines help you.

Edena- I also wish to claim those demons in service of Lolth since in this time of change the drow need every power we can get. The offers to the demons shall be slaves, magic items and escape from the Abyss as well as a chance to kill our enemies and take their souls and I also wish to claim the Cult of Tharzidun & Elemental Evil, I guess that the Cult of EE will bring me into the Elemental Arms Race too.

Short History of Shadow Empire:
Official dating system is based on Shadow Regencies. Each year one of Shadowlords bears the the title of Shadow Regent and holds supreme authority. But because empire exists only for 65 years Netherese Calendar is also commonly used.
- 5199( NC), first regency of Shadowlord Baelros- Shadow Empire formed as an alliance of multiple enclaves on Plane Of Shadow, motivated by the desire of power and conquest, Shadow Council is formed, High Prince Telamont and his Netherese Shade refuse to join as anything else but rulers. For 25 years Empire consolidates its power on Plane of Shadow.
- 5224 (NC), third regency of Shadowlady Ahlissa-apogeum of 2nd Great Torillian War, City of The Netherese Shade besieged, High Prince Telamont calls for Empire`s help, but nevertheless City fails. Remmants of Netherese, now led by High Prince Rivalen Tanthul, join The Empire, their leader granted the title of Shadowlord, they bring their magical knowledge with them and Torillian technology.
- 5348 (NC), 5th regency of Azargax- After consolidation of their churches many Torillian Gods of evil form into one deity called The Dark One, his church ,called Church of Shadow is closely aligned with Shadow Empire. Cult of The Dark One becomes the official religion of Empire.
- 5260 (NC), 6th regency of Rivalen, beginning of Shade infiltration of The City of Greyhawk, Shade agents appear in most major cities in Oerth, Shadowlady Ahlissa comes to Greyhawk and formes a network of spies and assasins.
Is this okay Edena?

For everyone who's having trouble of who is what and where, do you think it might be a good idea to keep a 'political map' of all the factions on Oerth?
I tinkered with it a bit, and this is an example of how it might look with only a few factions done... (it's 1250x935, so people with good resolutions are winners)
Faction Map
It'll take less effort to maintain than to set it up, but I'd be more than willing, if it helps. If so, suggestions are always welcome of course (a legend would be included obviously).
