At A Glance
The City of Greyhawk, known as the "Gem of the Flanaess", is largest city in the Greyhawk campaign world. Located on the shores of the Selintan River, it is a center of trade and learning, and therefore a magnet for adventurers. The Free City of Greyhawk is located centrally in the Flanaess, which is the easternmost part of the continent of Oerik on the world of Oerth. The city controls a large swath of land along the Selintan River from the Nyr Dyv south to Woolly Bay most of the Cairn Hills, parts of the Gnarley Forest, the northern Wild Coast, and parts of the Abbor-Alz. The entire region is officially known as the Domain of Greyhawk. The Domain is bordered on the east by the Abbor-Alz and its western border lies within the Gnarley Forest. The area south of Greyhawk City along the Selintan is known as the Plain of Greyhawk.Greyhawk Languages
