GREYCHRONDEX VERSION 4.2 (5/15/01) (MASTER) compiled by Steven B. Wilson [email protected]
An attempt has been made to be both thorough with regard to material, and accurate with regard to content. It is possible in this incarnation, that some materials (especially early Dragon Magazines) have not been included. The goal of the original GreyChrondex was to keep a running record of the dated material on Greyhawk® released in official TSR , and WotC, Greyhawk products, considered "canon" material by WotC's Team Greyhawk (1997-1999 group).
The material herein spans from dated materials from 1981 to 2001 (from 9025 World of Greyhawk Folio, 1981 to the Living Greyhawk Journal #3, Spring, 2001). Where conflicting dates have been presented, all dates and reference to conflict have been included. I have also included date conversion charts. Updated versions of the GreyChrondex (version 4.0+) are planned sporadically. These versions will include material occurring after the end of canonical Greyhawk (anything after Die, Vecna, Die by Bruce Cordell and Steve Miller). Note that while this compilation is extensive, it is not "complete." WotC's conception of canon has changed since Team Greyhawk disbanded, and many products (such as Len Lakofka's L3, "Deep Dwarven Delve") are now considered canon by WotC/Hasbro. Versions after 4.0 will include these materials.
This volume was originally intended only for the use of Team Greyhawk members. Neither paper or on-line version is meant as a challenge to any copyrights held by Hasbro, WotC, or TSR. This resource is meant to be used by DM's in developing their campaigns and is not to be sold, reproduced, or re- posted. Greyhawk® , and the characters and locations presented herein associated with this game setting are properties of Hasbro/WotC, originally created by E. Gary Gygax.
The original paper volume of the GreyChrondex (1.0) is dedicated to Roger Moore, Lisa Stevens, Kij Johnson, Sean Reynolds, Steve Miller, Anne Brown, Harold Johnson, and, of course, my on-line compadre, Erik Mona…Team Greyhawk 1997-1999, and was made for the Team Greyhawk "Summit," October 19-21, 1998. The on-line version is dedicated to the many Greyhawk fans that kept this setting alive when it was in mothballs, and to the new fans to come in the "Living Greyhawk® " presented by the RPGA. For the "official" dates, see Roger Moore's "The Adventure Begins" and the RPGA's Greyhawk sourcebook, Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, and WotC,’s Gazetteer. I would additionally like to thank the creative efforts of two people very important in Greyhawk’s ressurection, Gary Holian and Fred Weining for their contribution on the Net and in the Gazeteer.
Steve Wilson “Greyhawk Guru” and Team Greyhawk member, 1997-1999.

2 OJ 7, Oerth Journal #7 produced by the Council of Greyhawk (e-zine), Shadis 50 (August 1998). These two non-TSR publications contain the "canon" adventure "The House on Summoner Court" by Roger Moore. TSR granted permission to both of these publications to print this Greyhawk adventure. The OJ 7 version is an earlier, less polished version of the adventure, but contains information not found in the Shadis 50 version.
3 TSR11442, Bastion of Faith, while not specifically a Greyhawk product is the first WotC "generic" support product (for 2 nd ed.). While not specifically Greyhawk, this product was heavily supported by past members of Team Greyhawk, and has a very strong Greyhawk relation. (Note: The Shattered Circle, 11325, was the first "generic" module related to Greyhawk, but it had virtually no Greyhawk material. )
4 Beginning with TSR 11742, Gazeteer, “canon” as a concept becomes a non-essential point. The official WotC stance of anything that is published by WotC with regard to Greyhawk in 3E is canon regardless of source (Dragon, Dungeon, modules, accessories, etc.). This stance, combined with the policy of freedom of creativity of designers (add, subtract, change without necessary regard to any other Greyhawk product), insures that the setting, while being “freed” in one sense, will also become too confusing to keep up with in another. The potential for conflicting information is just too great. Updates will include this dated information, but it does not have any necessary connection to what has been presented previously, and error should be considered highly likely (although it won’t be error, because there is no “canon” in the traditional sense). I will only include information from modules and accessories specifically related to Greyhawk, and not Dragon articles nor Dungeon offerings.
5 August, 2000 ushered in the first dated broad distribution RPGA publication for Greyhawk the “Living Greyhawk Journal” (LGJ). This material is considered “Alternative Setting” but serves as a guide for “canonical” purists, to some degree. Other Living Greyhawk RPGA material will also be included.
In all instances the designation [assumed] means that the entry gives probable cause for the date in the GreyChrondex, e.g. "Ten years ago," or "a Century ago" where the comparison base date is known, or the event is directly connected to a dated event.
The designation "c" before a date indicates the same information, but is generally used when the date is "fuzzy" (circa), that is, the events could have happened in a range of years.
The designation [figured] means that a non-CY date has been converted to the CY standard.
Text marked in green indicates material that was not considered "canonical" by Team Greyhawk, but that is found in TSR/WotC/Hasbro products, articles, etc. related to Greyhawk, and may easily be used with the setting. Text marked in red indicates WotC/Hasbro 3E material (see above). And text marked in purple indicates WotC’s RPGA “Living Greyhawk” material.
In instances where a location name has changed (e.g. the North Province becoming the North Kingdom), the new name follows the old name in parenthesis. This is also true in cases where a location “belongs” to another region as when a forest is within a kingdom. In cases where a location no longer exists as a political entity in any form, the location is indicated by brackets (e.g. the Great Kingdom, Medegia, the Suel Empire, etc.). In instances where a name or entity changed, but the entity into which it changed no longer exists, the second entity is enclosed in both parenthesis and brackets (e.g. The Kingdom of Aerdy becoming part of the Great Kingdom).

Oerth Calendar conversions for all occasions
The equivalences:
CY1= SD (Suloise Dating) 5516; CY –1=SD 5515 CY1= OC (Olven Calendar) 4463; CY –1=OC 4462 CY1= BH (Baklunish Hegira) 2660; CY –1=BH 2659 CY1= FT (Flan Tracking) 2151; CY –1=FT 2150 CY1=TC (Touv Calendar) 1408; CY –1=FT 1407 CY1=OL (Olman Lunar) 806; CY –1=OL 805 CY1= OR (Oeridian Record) 645; CY-1=OR 644
C1: For conversion of positive CY dates to other calendars: to SD: add 5515 to the CY year (CY 1 = SD 5516 [1+5515]) to OC: add 4462 to the CY year to BH: add 2659 to the CY year to FT: add 2150 to the CY year to TC: add 1407 to the CY year to OL: add 805 to the CY year to OR: add 644 to the CY year
C2: For conversion of other calendars to CY (positive dates): from SD: Take latest SD date and subtract 5515 (5519 SD = CY4 [5519-5515]) from OC: Take latest OC date and subtract 4462 from BH: Take latest BH date and subtract 2659 (2660 BH = CY 1 [2660-2659]) from FT: Take latest FT date and subtract 2150 from TC: Take latest TC date and subtract 1407 from OL: Take latest OL date and subtract 805 from OR: Take latest OR date and subtract 644
C3: For conversion of negative CY to other calendars to SD: Take CY date and subtract it from 5516 (CY –1=5515 SD [5516-1]) to OC: Take CY date and subtract it from 4463 to BH: Take CY date and subtract it from 2660 (-554 CY = 2106 BH [2660-554]) to FT: Take CY date and subtract it from 2151 to TC: Take CY date and subtract it from 1408 to OL: Take CY date and subtract it from 806 to OR: Take CY date and subtract it from 645
C4: For conversion of other calendars to negative CY from SD: Take the earliest SD date and subtract 5516 (SD 5515 = -1 CY [5515-5516]) from OC: Take the earliest OC date and subtract 4463 from BH: Take the earliest BH date and subtract 2660 (BH 2106 = CY -554 [2106-2660]) from FT: Take the earliest FT date and subtract 2151 from TC: Take the earliest TC date and subtract 1408 from OL: Take the earliest OL date and subtract 806 from OR: Take the earliest OR date and subtract 645
As a general rule of thumb, it is easiest to convert all dates to CY and then change them to another calendar date when trying to compare dates of two Non-CY calendars.
Example 1: 166 OR = 3984 OC
C4: 166 OR = -479 CY (166-645) then C3: -479 CY = 3984 OC (4463-479) Example 2: -250 FT = 3115 SD
C4: -250 FT = -2401 CY (-250-2151) then C3: -2401 CY = 3115 SD (5516-2401)
Example 3: 2794 BH = 4597 OC
C2: 2794 BH = 135 CY (2794-2659) then C1: 135 CY = 4597 OC (135+4462)
