responded by including six plot-outlines that could be inserted into a Greyhawk campaign. The City of Greyhawk boxed set The publication of Greyhawk Adventures came just as TSR released the 2nd edition of Dungeons & Dragons. TSR released The City of Greyhawk boxed set in 1989 under the Greyhawk Adventures banner. Written by Carl Sargent and Rik Rose, this was not the city created by Gygax and Kuntz, but a new plan built from references made in previously-published material. This release remolded Gary Gygax's old Circle of Eight into a new plot-device. Instead of a group of eight companions based in the Obsidian Citadel who left periodically to fight evil, the Circle became eight wizards led by a ninth wizard, Gygax's former character Mordenkainen. In addition to Mordenkainen, seven of the wizards were previously existing characters from Gygax's original home game: Bigby, Otiluke, Drawmij, Tenser, Nystul, Otto, and Rary. The eighth was new: the female wizard Jallarzi Sallavarian. The Circle's mandate was to act as neutral referees between Good and Evil, never letting one side or the other gain the upper hand for long. In addition, Sargent and Rose took Gygax's original Obsidian Citadel, re-purposed it as Mordenkainen's castle, and placed it in an unspecified location in the Yatil Mountains. The following year, in conjunction with this boxed set, TSR published a trilogy of World of Greyhawk Adventure (WGA) modules by Richard and Anne Brown — WGA1 Falcon's Revenge, WGA2 Falconmaster, and WGA3 Flames of the Falcon — set in the city, and centered on a mysterious villain called The Falcon. A fourth WGA module, WGA4 Vecna Lives! by David Cook, was published the same year, and featured the first appearance by Vecna, formerly a mythic lich in Dungeons & Dragons lore, now promoted to demigod-status. Modules released under the Greyhawk Adventures banner TSR also released five new World of Greyhawk (WG) adventures, which used the Greyhawk Adventures banner: WG8 Fate of Istus (Various authors, 1989) WG9 Gargoyle (Dave Collins & Skip Williams, 1989) WG10 Child's Play (Jean Rabe & Skip Williams, 1989) WG11 Puppets (Vince Garcia & Bruce Rabe, 1989) WG12 Vale of the Mage (Jean Rabe, 1989) In 1990, TSR also published WGR1 Greyhawk Ruins, a module and sourcebook about Castle Greyhawk by TSR writers Blake Mobley and Timothy Brown. Although this was not the Castle Greyhawk of Gygax and Kuntz, it was the first serious attempt to
