WGS1 is, therefore, one of those tiresome modules done to force a change in canon, like [[Dead Gods]]. This means the players' characters are patsies who cannot change the outcome. You may as well read a book so why buy the railroad-ticket? Once 1e Greyhawk fans figured this out, they didn't want to play it either.
