The following are references listed in Zavoda's Encyclopedia. I do not have the listed reference, but would greatly appreciate at least a summary of the relevent text. All are related to Gran March.
The LGJ0 references are just mentions that the Gran March is one of the regions in the LG campaign.
Ditto the reference on p4 of LGJ1.
The references on pages 8 to 19 are in the Keoland article that last I checked was available for download from the Wizard's LG site.
The next reference is a Triad written dispatch that appeared in the early standalone LGJs, dated Spring 591 CY:
Gran March: Vitness Tragorn, Warden of the Rush March, reports that the Flan babarians of the Rushmoors have been restless of late. He issued a warning to be wary and avoid travel deep into the moors. The road improvement between Buxton's Crossing and Hochoch is proceeding apace, having reached the edge of the Dim Forest. The work crews have been reinforced for the massive wood cutting and paving required for the next stage of development. Gault Stalmir, Warden of the Dim March, addressed concerns about increased goblin activity there. "Those who spread rumours of large numbers of goblins operating in the Dim Forest are happily misinformed. Our patrold have found only scattered ragtag bands numbering fewer than a score."
Of the other two reference, one is a list of LG regions and the other is the back page map of Keoland which shows some of southern GM (Hochoch, the Rushmoors and Shiboleth are the only GM features marked).
LGJ2,
P28: GM is mentioned in the Geoff dispatch:
Tensions have mounted between loual citizens of Geoff and her protector state, the Gran March. While most Geoffites recognise the position they would be in without Marcher protection, an increasingly vocal minority chafes at the inactivity of Field Marshal Helanasdotter.
p29: This is another one of the Triad written dispatches dated Spring 591 CY.
Gran March: Wild rumours abound that an ancient scroll written by Trilesimain, the near mythical founder of the order that would become the Knights of the Watch, was recently unearthed in the Rushmoors. The contents of this scroll and its current whereabouts vary depending on the storyteller.
Goblin raids have increased along the Dim Forest road. Only quick action nby brave Gran March soldiers kept vital war supplies from being stolen by the cunning raiders. Raids have also increased against horse farms near the Dim Forest in Barony Malthinius.
To the northeast, setbacks have plagued the Herdmaster's Guild in their rebuilding of a ruined keep northwest of Hookhill. Some (mosltly members of the Farmer's Grange) speculate that the repairs will not be completed in time for the Herdmasters to claim the lands surrounding the keep.
LGJ3:Another dispatch (again Spring 591 CY)
Geoff: Skrimishing between the forces of the Gran March and the occupying giants continues in the shattered remains of southeast Geoff. The Gran MArch has completed a ring of fortresses to protect the freed area around Hochoch, which should allow local farmers to till their land wihout fear of raiding goblins...Hochoch is preparing for an election of the two "commons" seats on the Town Council. Normally the Town Council ant its electors are limited to those who own land inside the walls of Hochoch. At the insistence of Knight Commander Alicia Helanasdotter, the leader of the Gran March's army in Geoff, the Town Council is permitting "those who served with distinction" in the defence of Geoff to sit on the Council and vote.
Gran March: Rumours out of Hochoch have Knight Field Marshal Helanasdotter planning a spring offensive against the giants in Geoff. Supplies and troops have been pouring into the region and there are signs of imminent activity.
Gastus Huller. A Geoffite refugee known for his bitter distaste for the Gran MArch troops who stand between him and a giant stewpot, has been decrying these signs of activity as merely intendedto appease the refugee community while Gran March secures its hold on Hochoch.
Through representatives, Knight Field Marshal Helanadotter has denounced Huller, though she refuses to common on the rumoured campaign. Huller was overheard in a tavern in Orlane speaking of armed rebellion against the forces of Gran March. After this report, made by refugees who have fought and beld alongside Gran March forces, Huller was declared a traitor.
Anyone with information regarding Huller should contact the nearest military offices immediately.
LGJ4: More dispatches set in the neverending Spring of 591 CY.
Geoff: "It is unknown what the reaction of the Knights of the Watch and the Gran March will be [to Duke Owen's decision to move his court to Hochoch], as it is suspected that they both have designs on the sole remaining town of Geoff..."
Gran March: Following the defeat of the goblinoid forces besieging Fort Endurance in the Dim Forest, Commandant Magnus Vrianian recently travelled from Hookhill to personally recognize the bravery of the fort's defenders. In a special ceremony, Vrianian awarded numerous commendations and dedicated a memorial to those who game the last full measure of devotion to the March. He had this to say concerning Gran March's foreign commitments. and recent internal struggles:
"There are those who sit today in foreign capitals and plot to forment dissent withing our borders, foolishly beleieving that this will make us turn a blind eye to this who have allied with us against the blight of evil. I say to the, do not be deceived. The word of the March is the bond of the March. We will stand, as, as our memory is long and our courage undaunted, we will one day have our revenge."
LGJ5 More dispatches - this time Planting 591 CY:
Geoff: The Gran March's Army of Retribution and Geoff's Army of Liberation scored a stunning victory over a large giant force sent against Hochoch at the Battle of Bloody Ridge. The combined armies shrugged off wave after wave of orcs, ogres, and then finally giants before charges by the Gran March cavalry and the Knights of the Watch broke the griant lines...
Gran March: Recent conflict in and around Hochoch has led to the appointment of Watcher Caticial Fangorn, Vengeful Elder Wyrm, to a new post in Hochoch. Officially, Watcher Fangorn and his entourage are responsible for clearing the way for more troops and supplies to enter the war zone. All work crews and caravans on the Buxton's Crossing - Hochoch route now report to him. Several rumours make his real purpose out to be somethng more sinister, though such rumours have been extremely vague thus far.
Elector Basilio Gesmumdo of Barony Dieren died in honourable combat with the Champion of the Relam after being brought up on charges of gross dereliction of duty in regard to recent troubles in Liabac while he was away attending to personal business in Thornward. He is succeeded by his 14 year old son, Esmil. A regent has been appointed to oversee the Electorate unit Esmil has completed his military service.
However, that creates a quandry for me. As you and I discussed in a recent forum, LG material is pretty much off limits. So.... is LGJ part of the LG? I am inclined to think that the articles in LGJ are not, as I am pretty sure the authors had to sign over rights as they would under Dragon/Dungeon submissions. However, I think the regional dispatches are redrafted from the various websites, and should probably be treated as Triad/LG material.
