and weaken the free lands. Spier include low-ranked Slavers, humanoid
brigands, and members of the Scarlet Brotherhood, the Earth D q o n
Cult, and the Alliance. They report to regional directors. These spy
captains appear to be the same wornan in different guise-an evil &en
sorceress and one of the original Slavelords by the name of Uukessa.
In mth, all of the spy captains are &ally duplicates, created by the
original Markma (who dwells in Men Lekos in thc hem ofthc
Pomaj) by using SuTgny and brainwasting on other elven mager. These
spy captains promote the misconceptionthat they are the same person.
They work together like dwoted sisters, each believing herself to be the

when encountered by the heroes.

character should have no more than one 01two temporary magic items,
such as scrolls, and one magic weapon, armor, or other limited-use

HISTORY OF THE CITY

Dyvers is an independent city nestled on the southwest- shore of the o m came that m-

Viceroy of Ferrond sought to d i s m c e his people from the troubles of

GENERALINFORMATION

Dyvers is a walled city with a long rivetfront. It has five distncts: the
Royal Grounds, which hold the homes of petty nobles, the base of the
Free Army, and the palace now used as the city hall and mayor’s office;
the Docks dismct, a low-dass neighborhood along the watehonr: Old
Town, the center of business, manufarmre. and mpes: the k v e r
@ m r , four islands a few miles offshore; and the Trade District, a
middle-dass area held mostly by merchants and guild members.
Entry into the city is free, either through the docks, the two gates for
mad traffic,or the four minor gates for pedestr- and handcarts. A
tent tom of foreign merchants srands outside the e m e m gates. These

I HARDW
I Hardby is an independent-minded town of over five thousand so&. It
has been under the protection and the control of the city of Geyhawk
for almost 10 years. The city was founded in -278 CY by a Suel Ivlz-
a d named h a Norbe, who desired a place to research spells in peace.
Claiming this s d harbor on the eastern side of WooUy Bay, she had
her hirelings and local tisherfok build the town of Norbe Harbor.
Severe storms that winter and a plague that spting resulted in changing
the name to Hard Bay. Ena manied the captain of her guards and had women of the Gynarchy. e that the Despotrix still retaios

towns of the Wild Coast, the Norbe Gynarchy was mild, with the d e

attempts to prevent this. T h e Gynarch and the Lord Mayor of
Greyhawk, Nerof Gasgal, are unfailingly polite to each other in public,
but obviously hate each other, a sentiment that is shared by several of
the Gynarch's daughters and granddaughters.

General Information
Hardby is atown that relies on its waterways to survive.Mostofits
money comes from the trade of goods entering or leaving its docks or
from bwinesses that support people who work on the sea and s h o r e
hostels, boarding houses, taverns, inns, brothels, and others. T h e origi-
nal town wall follows the m e of the bay, though the city hai gown
nearly three times as large since that time. A wooden palisade hzs been
built to protect those sections of town beyond the stone city wall. Two
lighthouses, which double noop garrisons, flank the city on io southem
shore, with a second pair on opposite amu of Hard Bay. Rising from
the water in front of that fourth tower are two massive statues. One or confiscation of proper7 of equal value, or
depicts a bearded heavyset man of late middle age, the other a slim,
short, bearded fellow; both have their &ts raised as if to box each
other. Decades ago,a Gynarch co-ioned these statues to represent
the meaningless squabbles of m a They s m e as a symbol of Hardby's
feminine spirit. A small road leads westward from Hardby to the town
of O n , and another, known both as River Road and North Route,
goes westward along the shores of the Woolly Bay to the town of One
Ford and eventually reaches the city of N m & .
T h e old city wall contains the rowdy Dock Dismct, spacious ware-
houses, the residential and meatpadung section known as Fish Town,
and the militarized North End The rest of the city is divided roughly
between the market Trade Town, where merchants bmer with each
other for their wares,and a sprawling residential dismct called the
Ebbfields that hosts mer&-, Greyhawk soldiers, and minor nobles,

 The area jux south of the town is littered with meed weapons, frag-
ments of armor, and goblin bones; a great battle was fought there in
589 CY, when a force of goblins attacked the city. The assault was bro-
ken due to clever use of traps, archery, and a lot of powerful magic; the
badefield is now a play sire for older chddren, although m o ~ of
t the
salvageable pieces have been taken and re-forged. The men of Saferon
retaliated against Cantona the nexc year and succeeded in burning much
of the town to the ground, bur did not eradicate the OTCI.
The do sene^^ of t h e humanoids gives Safecon an aura of paranoia,
with everyone on edge and ready to take out their aggression upon any
humanoid that pops up. Word travels fast in the city, with mmom that
start in the do& reaching the other side of town in minutes. Every
one of the residents knows the use of ar least one weapon, and a dis-
proportionate number of semicapable ”adventurers” live here; for the
people of Safeton, “going adventuring” usually means sneaking into
the Buffer Zone or (for the brave or foolhardy) across the northern
boundary of the Orcish Empire, looting ruined villages (which has
poor returns nowadays) and searching for OIC patrols. The ruined but
occupied cardes of Leraim (held by an unknown person-possibly
the former owner, a necromancer who was thought m have died-who
has magical power and a dislike of being disturbed) and Sulafrait (held
alternately by bandits, oxs, oc orogn, and said co have great measure
within) are popular targets. A few groups with real experience have
gone so far as to scout over a hundred miles into occish territory to the
town of Fax, which has been greatly damaged and is now occupied by Safeton.

SLAVER BASES
The ShveIo& have estabhshed several secret bases for their agents
operating ofit of the Free Lands of Ge+wk and the Wild Coast. One
is an abandoned tower,the second ~ forc l den hidden in the ruins of a
a2ed +, and two others are lain of allicd malev&nt races. This sec-
tion details those bases.

Sevant’s Tower

Sehm River. Across the river smds a partially collapsed tower,
unused for over a decade, with a broken well nearby. T h e wizard Sevant
was once an adventurer who explored the wesfem Fknaes, fmally
returning to his home in Fmyondy. He later chose dus site to build a
home when he redred He pledged his powers to defend the dagers if
they would name their setdement after hun.They a g e d , and he kept
his promise. Afm many long and mUdul years, he was attacked by a

the Greyhawk Wars. Adventurns pied to loot the m a t tower-d
those who got out alive told stories of deadly magical mps. Since then,
it has remained untouched. The dagers don’t go near i t Some believe
it is just not wlse to mess with a wizard‘s abode, while ochers profess
that it is haunted, t e b g de of ghostly lights and a creature of dark-

Exploring the Twer

Heroes may be dawn to Sevant's Tower for several reasons. They
may investigate m o r s of a haunting. Or they may discover evidence
of this base at Slavers Cove, from a captured slave ship or by follow-
ing a Slaver agent who leads them here. Defeating the Slavers may
uncover information about the heroes' missing friends. T o m f o k tell
d e s of terror about foolhardy souls who explored the ruins and never
returned.
There are m y dangers in this &, some natuaL others supematu-
ral. Vessa is familiv with most of the dangers and is able to negotiate
and use them to her advantage. The tower is built with large blocks of
stone,the floon and ceilings supponed by thick wood beams. T h e ceil-
ings are 15 feet high,
Natural hazards may be placed wherever they add to the adventure's
drama,though most should be restticted to the third floor or roof.
Flights of bau could artack, blind, conhcle, and drive inmderr into
dangers. Rotting beams and a m b l i n g a v o n r y may break and injure
or pin explorers (save YS. petrfication or suffer 2d6 points of damage).

possibly dousing heroes.

buried within it. Even if the Slavers aren't interested in who is living
there, they may want to gain possession of the legendq magic items

The first cairn has a small force of bandits and humanoids follow-

cairn i s the temporary home of a reclusive necromancer studying a
strange magical manifestation nearby; she doesn't wish to be disturbed
and is unwilling to ally with the Slavers, especially since she i s apply-
ing for membership to the Greyhawk Wizards Guild. T h e third cairn
is the home of a mutmt beholder and its d m o slaves; the beholder
needs allies or slaves LO fend off the eventual appearance of its
enraged parent, and since the d m o already respect the Earth Dragon,
a reasonable alliance of minimal tmt may be established between the
two groups. The fourth cairn i s inhabited by automatons set to attack
anything they see; the Slavers will not be able to make friends there.
T h e fifth cairn is hidden, and it is unlikcly that the Slavers will be
able to find it unless they ally with at least two of the other cairn
leaders.

Doomgrinder
T h e Doomgrinder i s a gargantuan juggernaut buried in the Cairn
Hills.A colony of demo is attempting to repair and activate it. The
path of the juggernaut travels right through the city of Greyhawk,
which would make an excellent attack or distraction when the Slavers
choose to make their move against the city. Given that demo respect
the E d Dragon and are fond of taking human slaves, it is likely that
they and the cult could join forces. If the Dungeon Master has demo
