Message: <blockquote data-quote="AdmundfortGeographer" data-source="post: 9347672" data-attributes="member: 4682">The parts I remember being drawn to back when I bought the 83’ box was the history of two arcane empires clashing in apocalypses that left scars on the continent, which forced mass migrations of multiple tribes, one of which rose to a new empire conquering nearly the entire subcontinent and faded into remnants around today, that at war with each other. An analogy to the fractured remnants might be when Rome was fracturing into pieces.I liked the layering of historical eras ruins. Such as pre-history when elves and Flan united to drive kuo-toa beneath the surface, the pre-migration Flan nations (Vecna and ur-Flan rulers), Twin Cataclysm era, migrations-era, Aerdy conquests and unifications.I liked the lost history for why the Rift Canyon was caused. I liked the geography of a continent-spanning river network that was nearly navigable from mountain range to mountain range and out to the ocean, which had a nomadic culture that entirely kept to their river barges. While there were nations which laid claim to large regions of territory, there were also regions which were ripe for staking a claim where no dominant nation could reach (and one such large area was directly next to Greyhawk City itself).I love the weird deity list. I love that there is a strong notion of mortals rising in power to becoming hero-deities, ascending to demigods, and rising to higher ranks.</blockquote>
