Fate of Istus
Module WG8
Location Various cities across the Flanaess

canon problems. First, monks and assassins were officially never removed from Oerth. Second, the
oriental monks in the final chapter of the adventure do not exist, and were not the source of the
Scarlet Brotherhood's martial arts. Important events like the ousting of Hadric did occur.

Non-canon Modules
The following modules have been dropped from the "canon" world of Greyhawk setting, according to Lisa Stevens (Greyhawk
brand manager). However, at this time this list has not been endorsed as correct by TSR. These modules are indicated in italics in
the list of modules at the end of this document.
Castle Greyhawk
Module WG7
Location Greyhawk environs (Castle Greyhawk)
Notes This was a parody version of the Greyhawk dungeon, and has been superseded by Greyhawk Ruins
(WGR1). Reference to Castle Greyhawk products such as the City of Greyhawk boxed set should be
assumed to refer to Greyhawk Ruins instead.
References The Adventure Begins, pp. 3-4
Child's Play
Module WG10
Location ?
Notes A generic module that should not have been tied to the World of Greyhawk setting
Outdated Modules
The changes that have swept over Greyhawk have effectively rendered some modules obsolete, even though they have not
been officially completed. These modules will require some modification to work in the canon Greyhawk of CY 591.
The Lendore Isles Series
Modules L1-L2 (L3 forthcoming)
Location Lendore Isle (Restenford, Garrotten)
Outdated CY 582? (exact date unknown)
Reason The high and aquatic elves of the Spindrift (including Lendore) Isles have claimed the islands as their
own, and evicted all humans from the islands. Since the L-series was set in the human areas of Lendore
Isle, these modules are now outdated.
