Greychrondex 42
2 (5/15/01) (MASTER)
compiled by Steven B. Wilson --Tamerlain@AOL.Com
An attempt has been made to be both thorough with regard to material, and accurate with regard to
content. It is possible in this incarnation, that some materials (especially early Dragon Magazines)
have not been included. The goal of the original GreyChrondex was to keep a running record of the
dated material on Greyhawk® released in official TSR , and WotC, Greyhawk products, considered
"canon" material by WotC's Team Greyhawk (1997-1999 group).
The material herein spans from dated materials from 1981 to 2001 (from 9025 World of Greyhawk
Folio, 1981 to the Living Greyhawk Journal #3, Spring, 2001). Where conflicting dates have been
presented, all dates and reference to conflict have been included. I have also included date conversion
charts. Updated versions of the GreyChrondex (version 4.0+) are planned sporadically. These versions
will include material occurring after the end of canonical Greyhawk (anything after Die, Vecna, Die by
Bruce Cordell and Steve Miller). Note that while this compilation is extensive, it is not "complete."
WotC's conception of canon has changed since Team Greyhawk disbanded, and many products (such
as Len Lakofka's L3, "Deep Dwarven Delve") are now considered canon by WotC/Hasbro. Versions
after 4.0 will include these materials.
This volume was originally intended only for the use of Team Greyhawk members. Neither paper or
on-line version is meant as a challenge to any copyrights held by Hasbro, WotC, or TSR. This resource
is meant to be used by DM's in developing their campaigns and is not to be sold, reproduced, or re-
posted. Greyhawk® , and the characters and locations presented herein associated with this game
setting are properties of Hasbro/WotC, originally created by E. Gary Gygax.
The original paper volume of the GreyChrondex (1.0) is dedicated to Roger Moore, Lisa Stevens, Kij
Johnson, Sean Reynolds, Steve Miller, Anne Brown, Harold Johnson, and, of course, my on-line
compadre, Erik Mona…Team Greyhawk 1997-1999, and was made for the Team Greyhawk
"Summit," October 19-21, 1998. The on-line version is dedicated to the many Greyhawk fans that kept
this setting alive when it was in mothballs, and to the new fans to come in the "Living Greyhawk® "
presented by the RPGA. For the "official" dates, see Roger Moore's "The Adventure Begins" and the
RPGA's Greyhawk sourcebook, Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, and WotC,’s Gazetteer. I would
additionally like to thank the creative efforts of two people very important in Greyhawk’s ressurection,
Gary Holian and Fred Weining for their contribution on the Net and in the Gazeteer.

In all instances the designation [assumed] means that the entry gives probable cause for the date in the
GreyChrondex, e.g. "Ten years ago," or "a Century ago" where the comparison base date is known, or
the event is directly connected to a dated event.
The designation "c" before a date indicates the same information, but is generally used when the date
is "fuzzy" (circa), that is, the events could have happened in a range of years.
The designation [figured] means that a non-CY date has been converted to the CY standard.
Text marked in green indicates material that was not considered "canonical" by Team Greyhawk, but
that is found in TSR/WotC/Hasbro products, articles, etc. related to Greyhawk, and may easily be used
with the setting. Text marked in red indicates WotC/Hasbro 3E material (see above). And text marked
in purple indicates WotC’s RPGA “Living Greyhawk” material.
In instances where a location name has changed (e.g. the North Province becoming the North
Kingdom), the new name follows the old name in parenthesis. This is also true in cases where a
location “belongs” to another region as when a forest is within a kingdom. In cases where a location
no longer exists as a political entity in any form, the location is indicated by brackets (e.g. the Great
Kingdom, Medegia, the Suel Empire, etc.). In instances where a name or entity changed, but the entity
into which it changed no longer exists, the second entity is enclosed in both parenthesis and brackets
(e.g. The Kingdom of Aerdy becoming part of the Great Kingdom).

from OC: Take latest OC date and subtract 4462
from BH: Take latest BH date and subtract 2659 (2660 BH = CY 1 [2660-2659])

from TC: Take the earliest TC date and subtract 1408
from OL: Take the earliest OL date and subtract 806
from OR: Take the earliest OR date and subtract 645
As a general rule of thumb, it is easiest to convert all dates to CY and then change them to
another calendar date when trying to compare dates of two Non-CY calendars.
