[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 9769349, member: 25619"] I was thinking it’s about like the domains in Ravenloft, which are mostly separated though in the same overall setting, if I understand Ravenloft correctly. I’ve read a number of Ravenloft adventures and that seems to be how it works. I played a one-shot in Ravenloft (GenCon Online) and I’m a player in 5e campaign in Ravenloft, but with a lot of Star Wars because the DM likes that. My other domains of Greyhawk are only hinted at so far. My lower-level group is currently with two groups of NPC's. One NPC is an exile from the Great Kingdom who is carrying copied records from the Attir family of the North Province mentioning their voyages of exploration and the lost colonies of Fireland and Aramax. In Greyhawk lore, the Attir were explorers but were overthrown and mostly exterminated - she is a survivor from an expropriated cadet branch. The PC's known none of this yet. Another NPC is from Tir Asleen (the Willow setting) and searching for a stolen magic item from her family in Cashmere (referenced in Willow lore as to the East of Tir Asleen, and the Willow TV show had multiple Indian-ancestry actors, so it works in my mind), which I placed as a post-apocalyptic land where others put Zhindia. She has mentioned to the PC's where she is from. My higher-level group hasn't met anyone from foreign lands of Oerth yet, but they know about Faerun from the Temple of Elemental Evil's Nodes. One PC (who retired from the game) was sent there by a Dismissal spell to his home plane (same Prime Material Plane, different planet) and they allied with a Storm Giantess from Faerun. As for contact and trade between "domains" my vision is there's very little. I care a lot about trade and economics in my Greyhawk, but I also think explanation is needed for why these other domains are essentially unknown. [/QUOTE]
