[QUOTE="NLP, post: 5434, member: 520"] Oops! Hit submit by mistake! There is a reason there is no "back story" in Greyhawk. It so that players and DMs can arrange it to suit their own purposes. For example, canon now has Vecna's Empire sitting in the Sheldomar, but if your campaign is in the Shield Lands, you are probably not going to have a reason to travel all the way to Keoland to look for Vecna's castle. Because you are the DM, you can decide where you want the Whispered One's empire to have been. The DM could decided that it was in the Pale (Which is why the country is now directed by a theocracy. Religion grew strong fighting Vecna and his undead!), or it is hidden in the rift in the Bandet Kingdoms (This could lead to the Big K being a one-time minion of Acer-baby's who tried to usurp power after the "troubles" between Vecna and Kas), or it is buried within the Yatils (A reason for why Iggwilv to Tsocanth spent so much time up there).
