Editing From The Ashes (section)

==The Changes==
''From The Ashes'' proposes a world in which Iuz has united all the barbarous and also-evil nations in the centre of Greyhawk, and attacked its neighbours; allowing other nations to make separate-peace to expand their own evil. If a nation is redundant to this vision, like the Horned Society, it is simply ''gone''. (This nation returns, in spirit, in [[Scarred Lands]] as Calastia and later in [[Golarion]] as Cheliax.) The Great Kingdom collapses, to become a chaotic and demonic land like Iuz once was. The [[Scarlet Brotherhood]] picks up the Lawful Evil mantle from both, with aspects of [[/pol/]]; because who cares about original character-building let's punch a Nazi. The Bright Desert is now a new nation - of evil, under Brian Blume's Rary character, now called the Traitor ... a fitting mirror to his player, now we think about it.

But at least the good nations are still pure of heart and safe havens... er, no. Oh, no. Celene the elven kingdom went isolationist early on, telling Furyondy-Veluna LOL, GLWT. Those nations themselves are weakened by internal strife, where the duchies south of the frontier flat don't care that the border marchlands are facing rapacious ''demons''. None of this assholery is anywhere intimated in prior Greyhawk lore.

These new evil superpower nations are described as horrific beyond what older Greyhawk had laid out - certainly because Carl Sargent had demons of his own.
