Fate of Istus is an odd one. It was used to convert Greyhawk from 1st edition to 2nd and explain the changes in the monk, bard, and assassin classes during that shift. However, although the events of this adventure took place largely as described in the module, and can be included into Greyhawk cannon, other things in it have some canon problems.
1) Monks and assassins are back so they were never really removed from Oerth.
2) The Oriental monks in the adventure have never existed in Greyhawk, the martial arts of the Suel (Scarlet Brotherhood) and the Baklundish followers of Xan Yae and Zuoken are not Oriental in flavor or origin.
3) Various maps of cities have been superceded by more recent and cannonal sources.
