History of Greyhawk

HISTORY OF THE FLANAESS

Chronological Table of Events:

There is no question but that most reckoning is dated by Common Year (C.Y.), which system commenced when the Overking of Aerdy declared universal peace through the whole of the Great Kingdom. The chronology given below, however, includes five other calendars which were once used and are sometimes referred to in ancient writings. Some few nations still employ these superannuated reckonings, as do the more isolated elvenfolk.
