GC9: Courtyard

GC9: Courtyard. This stone-paved yard is used as a parade grounds by the City Watch and, the Greyhawk Militia, when the latter is present. Open air military ceremonies are held here during certain holidays and after great victories (such as after the Battle of Safeton in 589 cy, when Commander Turin Deathstalker’s forces smashed a humanoid assault against that seaport).

DM's Notes: Winged mounts do not land here (more than once), as this is clearly understood by the Watch to be an attack. Aerial mounts and their riders are safest when they land outside the city and walk in through a gate. Rainwater from the courtyard drains through concealed and screened narrow pipes into the city sewer system; use of these pipes for an escape would be impossible without magical aid.
