[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 4422777, member: 25619"] I'd go with primary source of Gary's box set, secondary source of LGG for more detail, and DM decides what details in LGG to toss out. My campaign is currently in 588 CY, but there has been no "Greyhawk Wars", just separate events that are somewhat related to the canon: - Collapse of the Great Kingdom and formation of successor kingdoms. I treat some of "Iuz the Evil" as a vast exaggeration (less demons), but the situation basically being the 30 Years War (of the real world) with Plague, Famine, Pestilence, and War riding roughshod over the region. This is all off screen, so the details are mostly irrelevant. - Rise of Iuz after he was freed by Robilar. He brought the Horned Society, the Bandit Kingdoms, and Stonefist into his realm by conquest/subversion. He's destroyed most of the Shield Lands, clashed with the Wolf Nomads, tested the Furyondy frontier, and may be implicated in growing darkness in the Vesve and the Tiger Nomads. This is just off-screen, with PC's and NPC's from background affected by this (my campaign is set in Bissel). - Major war between Ket (with Uli, Tiger Nomad, orcish and goblinoid help, and Perrenlander mercenaries) and Bissel (backed by Veluna, Gran March, the Knights of the Watch, and the economic power of Greater Keoland -- Keoland plus its dependencies in Sterich and Geoff). - Giant and drow attacks on Sterich, Geoff, and the Yeomanry blunted when adventurers slew Lloth. - Rise of Slavers in the south threatening coastal Keoland around Salt Marsh and perhaps threatening the city of Cauldron. You get the idea -- make it your own, not the canon, but start from Gary and LGG "best of". [/QUOTE]
