Greyhawk redhand3/28/2023 ![]() To the south, an Empire stands where none has stood- The Pomarj. Furyondy is stretched to the brink as they seek to check the advance of Iuz. Critwall is an island surrounded by the forces of Iuz. The year is now 585, and a winter looms looms on the horizon. Though small and mysterious, this growing state could someday threaten the very borders of Greyhawk.įearing further disruptions, the delegates hurriedly signed the Pact of Greyhawk, and so the wide-ranging war of the Flanaess came to an end, and gained the misleading title, the Greyhawk Wars. There they conquered the savages and established a kingdom of their own. Unable to return to Robilar's castle, which was immediately seized by the troops of Greyhawk, the pair escaped into the Bright Desert. With the plot discovered, though, Rary and his co-conspirator Lord Robilar fled the city. Others suggest Rary was a pawn of the Scarlet Brotherhood. According to many who knew him, the wizard probably saw an opportunity to seize power and land in the confusion that would follow the assassinations. The motive behind Rary's treachery remains clouded. Using secrets gained in confidence, Rary not only vaporized his two fellows but also tracked down and destroyed every clone the pair held in preparation. The murderer of these wizards, undeniably a powerful mage, was discovered to be a third member of the Circle of Eight-Rary. When the fire and dust cleared, constables discovered smoldering robes belonging to two powerful members of the mysterious Circle of Eight-Otiluke and Tenser. A fierce magical battle immediately ensued, spreading havoc through much of the old city. A blazing explosion destroyed a good part of the Grand Hall only minutes before the ambassadors assembled for the day. As this solemn ceremony got underway, however, a tumultuous event occurred.Įven today a haze obscures the details: apparently someone plotted to annihilate the entire diplomatic corps in attendance, but the scheme misfired. A pact had been resolved and nearly all the nations had agreed to sign it. The final act of the immense drama of war occurred on the Day of the Great Signing. The conference nearly collapsed more than once when ambassadors took umbrage over some real or imagined slight. In the six months of the Great Council, intrigues abounded as each side attempted to gain the upper hand. The proposed truce, though simple in theory, proved an enormous undertaking, what with the countless ambassadors present. In the month of Harvester, the Great Council (as it came to be known) convened. The City of Greyhawk, untouched by the war, became the site of the conference. In the end, through negotiation, intimidation, and even assassination, the Brotherhood's proposal found acceptance. The puppets of the Scarlet Brotherhood, taking orders from the Father of Obedience, issued a call for a grand truce: every nation would cease hostilities and put its own house in order. Proposals for a peace conference met with greater and greater acceptance. Furyondy and Iuz ground to a stalemate Nyrond's vast coffers were drained dry and its overtaxed peasants were rebellious the Great Kingdom was shattered into a swarm of petty landholdings vying for power Keoland fought invasion on all sides countless men, dwarves, elves, and orcs marched off to war, never to return farms stood empty fields lay fallow. for two long years (582 to 584 CY), the nations of the Flanaess had schemed, murdered, and warred against each other until nearly all sides lay bloodied and beaten: war had exhausted the land and the people.
