A note on this "Living Gazetteer"

Because of the nature of a Living Campaign, where scenarios have a two year life-time, the gazetteer information will be somewhat out of date. As scenarios are retired, pertinent information from them that affects the gazetteer may be included, along with any outcomes that are resulting from how the scenario ultimatley played-out througout the Nyrond region.

Specifically of note is the coup of CY 595. This Gazetteer generally reflects information in the state it was in at the end of CY 594, sans some information from the various scenarios. A coup was enacted by Sewarndt in 595, which is not entirely reflected in the gazetteer, because the final results of this coup have yet to be determined. After this situation is resolved, we will fully update the gazetteer. Sorry for any confusion this may cause.

Introduction to Nyrond

The Kingdom of Nyrond covers a large swath of land east of the Nyr Dyv. Most of Nyrond's population is made up by rural and farming communties (only 7% of its large population lives in any major city). Because of this it has often been a strong force to deal with both economically and militarily. Nyrond did suffer during the Greyhawk Wars, but was still standing at the end of the day. The Nyrond people are strong willed and willing to fight to protect their lands and well-being. Military duty is a requirement to become a full citizen of Nyrond.

Many roadways fell into disrepair under the earlier rule of King Archbold; and most are still in this condition, making travel difficult. The population of Nyrond has changed since before the Greyhawk war. The refugees from Ahlissa, Almor and other war torn countries now make up a significant minority. There also seems to be a greater number of women than men as the war also left vast numbers of widows and orphans.
