[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3871313, member: 12460"] It's ok if you don't know much about Greyhawk. Knowledge of the setting may add to your enjoyment of the game, but is by no means vital to appreciating the merits of the adventure, which are quite setting-independent. There's a reason it's a classic. Dyvers sounds just fine as a city of origin. It would make your character something of a city slicker though as the city boasts a population of around 40k (quite large for a quasi-medieval society). If you would like some suggestions, he could be from Furyondy and the zombie-plague could have been created by priests of Iuz trying to stir up chaos within Furyondian lands. Furyondy and the Empire of Iuz have a pretty strong dislike of each other since one is led by a high-level paladin-king while the other is ruled by a CE demigod. In that case, Crockport would be a good port of call for Aredal. Alternately, the plague could have been caused by the devil-worshiping Horned Society, another of Furyondy's enemies. Some prominent members of the Horned Society are priests of Nerull or Incabulos (Greyhawk's god of pestilence and plague) and would figure well into such plans. Being from the town of Morsten or the city of Grabford would work well with such an idea. [/QUOTE]
