    Greyhawk source material

    As a newbie, I am trying to find different sources of info on the Grey hawk world and all in it. I am looking for some in depth histories of the land, people and conflicts. I am looking for websites that are info heavy but kind of organized. I could just have my friends tell me as I go along in the game, but it would kind of be be better IMO to be a little more prepared at the table. When someone says something, I would like to know what they are talking about. I have perused many of the articles on this site, including of course the Oerth Journals, and Greyhawk Tavel Guides. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    PS: I am also looking for legends, myths and lore. Things that may or may not be fact, but may allude to reasons for an incident to occur.

    as far as legends and myths are concerned, to a great degree most of those are made up by the dm, the fact is that greyhawk isnt that detailed and is purposly so for more flexability.

    The Greyhawk Adventures hardback started the whole "places of mystery" thing in GH. It is a good place to start for myths and legends.

    The From the Ashes boxed set also contains substantial information about myths and legends.

    These two products approach myths and legends in an organized way. Other products just tend to throw them in here and there.

    The Lving Greyhawk Gazetteer is the best of this latter group. While not systematic, it does cover lots of myths and legends in its more general coverage of the Flanaess.

    Hope this helps.

    Try this website for information regarding Keoland. It is the Living Greyhawk website, one of the better ones. The organizations is decent, and there are a lot of details to spice up a trip down to this region of Oerth.

    Well, I must point out that this is not canon, and is a shameless self promotion, but my Forgotten Gods of the Suloise and related articles here on CF are pretty heavy on that kind of stuff. If you're interested, just go to:

    http://www.canonfire.com/cf/modules.php?name=Search

    and search for "chatdemon", that should bring up a list of my stuff.

    Advantages of LG

    Actually, the LG sites are great places for potential source material. Just Google for LG and your country, and you should get some good info.

    I got a metric ton of stuff from the Yeomanry group for my campaign. Some I use, some I pitch, some I massage heavily before using.
