Greyhawk City Outskirts Settlement in Tales of Greyhawk | World Anvil

Greyhawk City Outskirts

The area just beyond the city walls has certainly developed because of the city, though these locations cannot truly be called part of that same city. Nonetheless, a description of its immediate surroundings is essential to a full understanding of Greyhawk City.   These surroundings range from the dilapidated shacks of Shack Town and the muddy backwaters of Barge End on the city's northwest side to the mysterious ring of stones outside the city wall to the southeast. This description begins with the hilly area north of the city and proceeds clockwise around the areas outside the city wall.

Government

East of the city walls, the druids of Obad-Hai keep relative peace near their shrine and the Stone Ring. To the southwest, the Merchants' and Traders' Guild keeps a veritable army of guards patrolling the livery, warehouses and caravan parks. Other parts of the outskirts have no real central leadership.

Defences

District Guard

The Merchants' and Traders' Union hired guards are the closest thing to a district guard outside of the Free City's walls.

Industry & Trade

Outside the city walls is where a lot of the mechanics of trade happen. Caravans arrive, pay their customs taxes, pick up their next delivery and destination and head out. Many rarely step into the city. In addition, the larger stables all lie outside the walls.
