Realms
in GreyhawkThis section details the major civilized and barbaric states of Eastern Oerik. It must be stated that the material here cannot be considered wholly complete or accurate. Rumors, legends, and third-hand accounts are often all the knowledge that even the Circle of Eight has to work with regarding some realms, as a result of the extreme hostility of those areas. Even direct information is often fragmentary and based on the words of untrustworthy spies, smugglers, diviners, and adventurers.
In short, the traveler must beware of anything said about the rest of the world. If you cannot predict what waits for you in an alley a block from where you sit, you will know even less about a land that is many days' journey away.
