Wed Jan 25, 2006 5:28 pm Xeph in World of Greyhawk?

Xephs are a new PC race included in the v3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook. Their background mentions "their lands lie far to the east, contained within a great rift that hides a broad valley permanently plunged into darkness, except for several psionically-illuminated forests."

I'm preparing a campaign set in the world of Greyhawk, and a player has asked to play a Xeph. Is there any info on where Xephs fit into the world of Greyhawk? I can always houserule it but wondered if there was any official info. Their chief deity is Fharlanghn, which suggests some kind of Greyhawk connection.

I've cross-posted this at ENWorld, Canonfire and WotC so apologies if you frequent all these places and see it more than once.

Thanks

There's no official info. I think they'd fit best in Hepmonaland in the steep valley in the middle of the Kelo Hills, as I think that's the climate that the XPH implies.

Some will probably suggest Rift Valley in the Flanaess, but I think that place is too filled with other things (bandits, monsters, and the like).

Plus you'd have imagined that someone might have noticed the psionically illuminated forests in the Rift by now. :)
