Only the most adventurous and far sailing explorers from Zeif have reached the distant land of Mulwar and returned. The last expedition by the Necromancer/Warrior Akl, captain of the ezma-barque Ancient Dawn, brought with him two warriors of that far off land, Ranber and Veerz.
Mulwar is a land of exotic spices and clothes, strange magic and Gods, unknown animals and monsters unheard of, but for the most part it is a land of war. It is a conquered land where the Changol Empire rules over a divided Mulwar and the Nation-States of Jahind seek to aid the exiled Mulwar Royality and stop the advance of the Changol legions.
Ranber and Veerz are Mulwar rebels and escaped the port-city of Zhinged aboard the Ancient Dawn with the Changol Imperials hard on their heels.
Ranber and Veerz are both former members of the Mulwar Royal Guard and their armor is a vestige of their former position. Both have retained the helm-masks that knights of Mulwar always adorned with Ranber still retaining the chain-cloth that would obscure the lower portion. This chain is enchanted to provide protection from smoke and fire, even allowing breathing underwater or in an airless room.
Both knights carry spiked war shields that are both weapon and defense. These shields are also enchanted to provide protection from normal missile weapons such as arrows, knives and darts.
Ranber is a middle-aged but highly skilled knight while Veerz is a warrior priest of the Goddess Yalaz, she of love and death.
Very nice. Have you mapped out Changol, Mulwar, and/or Jahind?
I'm reviewing Anna's Flanaess Full Map CY 576 - 2020 Edition and suspect that its depiction differs substantially from yours because Changol looks relatively small on Anna's map, and Mulwar looks landlocked.
I also dimly recall old AOL folder or GreyTalk posts on the region by Iquander, Nellisir, and/or Tal Meta, and I found a version of Erik's views (from 1996), The Bounds of Oerth: Western and Southern Regions Observed in OJ 26 (2011). Have you adopted / adapted any of those views for your campaigns?

Just started poking around with it. I usually prefer going my own way with Gygax-era Greyhawk material that has been undetailed
