[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9614985, member: 2209"] I'd have to look up the specific timeline. I was always more of a big picture for Greyhawk country and historical lore. The Great Kingdom and its areas of control were still reaching across about a third of the continent starting on the east coast in the 1e boxed set (they lost a ton in the 2e Greyhawk wars and broke up further) and the breakaways from the last couple hundred years before the 1e set (not sure off the top of my head how long) reached another third across the midwest of the continent with the Baklunish kingdoms that were never part of the Great Kingdom but bordered it as a competing great power controlling about a third from the west coast. Just looked it up, founding was 700 years ago, height was 500 years ago in common year 1, decline began 300 years ago with the Age of Sorrows beginning in CY 213, peeling off of outer areas began 250 years ago in CY 320, 1e boxed set current year is CY 576. I will continue to disagree and consider Greyhawk a good basis for common in its described setting. :) It still has plenty of setting specific regional languages too if you want to delve into them.
