    In your video, you forgot to discuss the renaming of North Province.

    Tiger Nomads renamed as Chakyik
    Wolf Nomads renamed as Wegwiur.
    Blackmoor renamed as Arn.
    Ice, Snow and Frost has been renamed.
    Rovers of the Barrens renamed as The Hunting Lands.
    North Province renamed as Aeriaak.
    The Scarlet Brother Hood renames as Shar.
    I'm sure there are more than I did not see.

    The Paynims have been renamed.

    I see that Almor, the Horned Society, Tenh, and the Shield Lands are back. Did they rewind to before the Greyhawk Wars? I'm aware that some later material might have brought Tenh and the Shield Lands back, but I was under the impression that the Horned Society went underground (figuratively, not literally) and there was pretty much no hope for Almor.

    Never heard of Blackmoor referred to as Arn, nor the North Province referred to as Aeriaak. But the rest of those names have existed since forever (the folio, for most of them at least), they've simply changed the names on the map to what the people living there call themselves.

    I noticed Rary's tower is not in the Bright Desert and is not referred to as the Empire of the Bright Lands.

    The capital of Bissel is Thornward, not Pellak.

    No "whirlwinds" around the Splindrifts.

    I think they have rebooted to 576.

    The Canonfire! Discord channel featured a lot of clowning on "Aeriaak" and critique of the elision of terms like the "Caliphate" of Ekbir and replacement by other terms derived from Earth's Islamic history, viz., Sultanate.

    I just noticed that the new map "corrects" / renames Flotsom and Jetsom Islands (making them Flotsam and Jetsam).

    Finally, the discussion there agrees with what folks have said here—Wizards is apparently continuing its 5e use of Greyhawk in a 576 CY / pre-GH Wars / pre-Living Greyhawk mode.

    I am alright with a reboot, a boot... a re-reboot. Just give me more.

    They also didn’t include the Sybarate Isle from UK1 on the map.

    That's one change of which I approve because Sybarate Island is supposed to have an area of about 20 square miles, or 4.48 miles square, and thus be so small that it shouldn't appear on a Darlene-scale map of the Flanaess.

    This article on the history of Arn in D&D is worth a look: https://blackmoormystara.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-realm-of-arn-and-its-history-in-d.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3fTZimvNKYzlOQiRXklKSJaQADlK_cWcr-M3scoe3yDPVc5yjmajHEIdc_aem_Cij9UhH1VfsoOb_HWcT6Kg
