    Rulers of Greyhawk

    http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com/2014/05/rulers-of-greyhawk-through-editions.html

    I was bored the other day and did a study of rulership changes in the Flanaess. Feel free to comment or point out errors. I have no data on Living Greyhawk Campaign changes, but I can probably guess most the regions had rulership changes eventually.

    (Copying my post from your page to draw more discussion here. Cool )

    That is a convenient list, Morteallan. It was interesting to look over.

    "Frost Barbarians: Ralff, Hundgred, Hundgred Rallfson"

    You spelled 'Rallfson' differently than 'Ralff'. Is that a typo, or is that the way they spelled the names in the official products?

    Regarding the Scarlet Brotherhood, perhaps the return of "Father of Obedience" as a title is due to the uncertainty of whether or not Korenth Zan still leads. After the events in Fate of Istus, it is possible that Korenth Zan was either killed by the adveturers (unlikely) or overthrown by another faction without the Brotherhood.

    Yeah I mistyped ol Hundgred's name. By the way, it's spelled Mortellan. It happens.

    My gut tells me Korenth Zan has always been the Father since 576 and still is. Omitting his name in the LGG (it says true name unknown) just seems odd to me after he was "outed" in 2e.

    -Korenth Zan was detailed in Greyhawk Adventures. I don't have FtAshes with me, but you could interpret that as the difference between "What the DM knows" vs. "What the World Knows." The only thing I let players see is the 1983 WOG Guide, which I interpret as either a volume of the Savant Sage's 576 CY work or things which are somewhat "common knowledge" ... Wink
