  Grand History of Geoff 
  Morwenna the Fair speaks- 
   
  Let me tell you the ancient history of the Gyruff.  I’m sure the learned scribes of Keoland or the academics of Greyhawk City 
  would laugh at the idea of over 30 centuries of oral history, but we Gyri understand the importance of such tales.  We know 
  that History is a story.  It should be told as one in proper narrative fashion.  But perhaps this way of telling, with dates, is 
  easier for outlanders such as you to understand.  Oh and by the way, don’t bother telling me that some date or other is wrong!  
  This is the way I learned it from Rhys of the Ash and it is true for us Gyri, even if it is not for such as you!

  Event 
   
   
  According to legend, the giants dwell in the Crystalmists, the Barrier Peaks, and the Stark 
  Mounds.  They use the meadowlands as pastureland for their herds. 
   
   
  According to legend, the elves live in the great forests in the Sheldomar Valley. Their knowledge 
  of magic is strong and they war with the Dragons who are also strong with magic. 
   
   
  According to legend, the Flannae are created by Beory and Pelor.  The Flan tribes wander eastern 
  Oerik in nomadic tribes as hunter gatherers. 
   
  c. -1000 
  Worship of Beory, the Earth Mother, is very strong throughout the Flan tribes.  Her druids have a 
  position higher than clan chief.  Beory’s children – Ehlonna and Obad-hai – have a small but 
  growing following.  Pelor is present but has no organized priesthood.   
   
  c. -800 
  As the Flannae grow in number in Gyruff, the giants notice their presence and start attacking the 
  Flan tribes.  The conflict becomes bitter and gruesome when the Flannae learn that the giants will 
  eat prisoners.   
   
  c. -700 
  Worship of Pelor increases as the Flan tribes struggle against the giants.  Trithereon reveals 
  himself to the Flannae.  
   
  c. -500 
  According to legend, Pelor teaches the Flannae how to make the longbow.  Whether that is true or 
  not, the Flannae use this powerful weapon against the giants. 
   
  c. -250 
  The Flannae and the elves have long lived beside each other peacefully.  In an attempt to bring the 
  humans in as allies against the dragons, the elves offer to share their knowledge of magic.  They 
  train the first wizards in Gyruff. 
   
  c. - 200 
  To counter the human alliance with the elves, dragons make the same offer to the humans.  
  Dragon magic relies on draconic blood to work.  The next generation sees the first human 
  sorcerers. 
   
  c. -175. 
  The Flan tribes are divided on which side to take in the war.  Some take the elves; some take the 
  dragons.  Some choose neither.  Ultimately, the Flannae have little effect on the conflict. 
   
  c. -100 
  Llywellyn, the Great Druid-King, leads the Flan tribes of the Sheldomar in a crusade against the 
  giants.  The giants are pushed into the mountains.  Llywellyn unites the tribes living in the 
  Sheldomar into a loose confederation.   
   
  c. -90 
  With the giants gone, the Flannae discover the gnomes who live in the Stark Mounds and the 
  Good Hills.  The two races establish friendly relations. 
   
  1 
  The Druids of Beory oversee the erection of the Standing Stones at Rhun.  The Flan begin 
  tracking the years from this event. 
   
  c. 250 
  The first dwarves arrive in the Crystalmists.  They traveled from the far north, seeking good stone 
  and rich veins of ore.  The Flan tribes begin trading with them. 
   
   
  The descendents of Llywellyn, the Druid King, are no longer able to keep the confederation 
  together.  The tribes split and go their separate ways. 
   
  456 
  Many of the Druids of Beory die suddenly.  This includes the Great Druid.  Beory herself seems 
  to distance herself from the world.  Her priesthood wanes.  Without the strong leadership from 
  Beory, the druids of Ehlonna and Obad-Hai start to feud openly. 
   
  1506 
  The Oeridian horse barbarians unite into a single confederation to resist incursions by the imperial 
  Baklunish. 
   
  1666 
  The great Baklunish and Suloise Empires begin to war with each other. 
   
  1677 
  Suloise migrations begin.  The Suel cross the Hellfurnaces through the Kendeen Pass.  Suel

  emerge into what would become the Yeomanry.  The Suel steal, kill, and lie their way across the 
  continent. The Suel enslave any Flan they come across. 
   
  1686 
  Heeding their prophets who said that great glory awaits them, the council of hetmen of the 
  Oeridian tribal confederation chooses to migrate eastward, through the gap in the Barrier Peaks 
  and the Yatil Mountains. 
   
  1693 
  Oeridians move east through what would become Ket and then east into the heartland of Flanaess.  
  As they do so, they absorb the Flan tribes they run across. 
   
  1729 
  The Suel wizards summon the Invoked Devastation upon the Baklunish Empire.  In retaliation, 
  the Baklunish sorcerers bring down the Rain of Colorless Fire, which destroys the Suel Empire.  
   
  1730 
  The survivors of the Rain of Colorless Fire cross the Hellfurnaces through the Passage of Slerotin 
  which is a magically created tunnel.  Two of the last Suel houses through the tunnel, Rhola and 
  Neheli, take possession of the Sheldomar Valley, driving the Flannae before them.    
   
  c. 1745 
  Several tribes of Oeridians move south into the Sheldomar Valley and encounter the Suel.  The 
  two races clash in sporadic fighting with the Suel on the losing side.  Many of the Suel cross the 
  Lortmils or stay in the southern reaches of the valley. 
   
  c. 1750 
  Gyruff is ignored for the most part.  The elves and the gnomes dislike both the violent Oeridians 
  and the conniving Suel.  Protected by the gnomes in the Stark Mounds and the Elves in the Dim 
  Forest, the Flan in Gyruff live in peace without fear of any migration from the other human tribes. 
   
  c. 1775 
  The iron plow is introduced to the Flan by a few Oeridian and Suel settlers who make it to Gyruff 
  while seeking to escape the warfare in the main valley.  Farming becomes possible in rocky 
  Geoff, and the wandering Flan tribes begin to establish farms.  Within a few generations the clans 
  have broken up into individual families that have settled onto steadings and crofts.  
   
  c. 1785 
  The Oeridians and Suel immigrants bring new faiths to Gyruff.  Heironeous, and Pholtus 
  primarily, but also Hextor. 
   
  1783 
  Suel of House Rhola found Gradsul.  This is the first major settlement in what would become 
  Keoland. It is located at the mouth of the Sheldomar River, giving it control over half of the 
  valley, as well as being an excellent deep water port for control over the western Azure Sea. 
   
  1792 
  Suel of House Neheli found Niole Dra.  The city is the capital of the Neheli until it was given over 
  as capital of Keoland. It is ideally set to dominate the central part of the valley. 
   
  1780 
  Empire of Vecna falls as Kas the Bloody-Handed slays the Whispered One, the Lord of the Spider 
  Throne. 
   
  1783 
  The Keogh, an Oeridian tribe, enter the Sheldomar Valley.  They are the first major tribe to move 
  south through the chaotic remnants of Vecna's empire. As the Keogh moved south they avoided 
  the lands of the Neheli, and settled the central lands of the valley around the Zol.  
   
  1809 
  Kingdom of Keoland founded at the Great Council of Niole Dra.  The warring Suel and Oeridian 
  tribes replace their conflict with cooperation and peace.  The throne would alternate between the 
  Rhola and Neheli, with the decision as to which member of the House being left to the Keogh. 
  The king would be advised by the Council of the Land which would contain all the major nobles 
  of the Kingdom. 
   
  1836 
  Migrating Oeridians and found a small trading post on the Selintan River, which they name 
  Greyhawk after the small gray hawks native in the region. 
   
  1842 
  Gwydion Caermaker, a llwyr of one of the Flannae tribes of Gyruff, founds Gorna with the help 
  of the sylvan elves of the forests and the gnomes of the Stark Mounds.  The town if built along a 
  bend in the White Oyt River as far up as barge traffic could go.  Gwydion builds a caer on the 
  promontory known as Eagle's Peak. 
   
  1909 
  King Mandros I (the Oerdian) declares all the lands between the Javan and Sheldomar, from the 
  source of the Sheldomar in the Rushmoors, to the mouth of the Javan in the Hool Marsh, to be 
  part of the Kingdom. Though many parts are not even sparsely settled at this time, there are none 
  to contest such a declaration, and the lands are annexed with a word. 
   
  1913 
  King Mandros creates five new Counties along the western border of the Kingdom. These are 
  Hochoch, Istivin, Flen, Cryllor and Eor.  Mandros appoints nobles of Oeridian descent who will 
  are beholden to him as rulers in an attempt to seize control the Council of the Land. 
   
  1921 
  King Luschan I expands the County of Istivin to include all lands between the Javan and the 
  Hellfurnaces north of the Jotens and south of the Stark Mounds. He transplants a number of less 
  than supportive nobles from the County of Hochoch to new border lands in what is named the 
  Grand County of Sterich.

  Founding of the Kingdom of Aerdy 
   
  1990 
  The Duke of Dorlin at the time organized the most religiously fanatical knights within his Duchy, 
  and sent them to subdue the region before that could happen. He called the area the Gran March, 
  and it was part of the Duchy of Dorlin until the time of Tavish I. 
   
  2031 
  Although King Luschan I had sent many of the nobles in Hochoch to new lands in Sterich, a hard 
  core of disaffected nobles remained. As the Knights of the March subdued the Gran March (of 
  Dorlin), they came into increasing conflict with the most recalcitrant of these nobles. 
   
  2034 
  As the problems in Hochoch continue, the relatives of the affected nobles in Sterich come to their 
  support. Among other things, they begin to agitate for increased compensation for shifting to the 
  new lands assigned to them. 
   
  2039 
  The crisis in Hochoch nearly explodes as the Knights of the March execute the Count Dobran of 
  Hochoch for unspecified crimes against the Kingdom.  King Senestal I is forced to publicly 
  discipline the leaders of the order to prevent a rebellion among the Keogh nobles. 
   
  2041

  Flannae-half Suel cousin, as the new count in Hochoch.

  After several years of escalating aggression, King Lanchaster I leads the Keoish and Olven armies 
  in an assault on Longspear in the Yeomanry in retaliation for raiding.  At the height of the battle 
  Lanchaster is struck down. This enrages the Keoish forces. Lanchaster's brother and lieutenant 
  takes command, and the army follows him, storming forward, breaking the Yeoman lines, and 
  taking the city.  Lanchaster's brother is crowned king and begins negotiations with the Yeomanry.

  King Tavish I (the Great) announces the formation of the Knights of the Watch, drawn primarily 
  from the ranks of the Knights of the March, and charged with protecting Thornward and the rest 
  of the Kingdom from the Paynims and other threats.  Along with that, he separated the Gran 
  March from Dorlin, and appointed a military commander loyal to himself to rule it. The Knights 
  of the March gradually faded away after this point.

  reveal that it is the courier with the order summoning Gyric forces to Keoland’s northern 
  offensives.  Keoland invades through the Stark Mounds and is defeated by the Gyri at the bloody 
  Battle of Gorna. Some claim that powerful magic employed by the wizard Vargalian on behalf of 
  the Gyri had a dire origin.  Many of the slain Keolander warriors remain in the Stark Mounds as 
  undead swordwraiths to this day.  Regardless, the defeat was profound, and resulted in great
