This boxed set picks up where the Greyhawk Wars boxed set left off. The year is 585 CY and the wars have ended between Iuz and the lands of good. From the Ashes includes two 96 pg booklets, three maps and 20 card sheets.
Two of the maps are replicas of the world maps supplied with the original boxed set produced in the early 80s. The third is a zoomed in map of Greyhawk City and the surrounding lands. The card sheets outline many different topics including important NPCs, 6 short adventures, wandering encounters, and much more.
The booklets are the Atlas of the Flanaess and Campaign Book. The Atlas of the Flanaess covers and updates all of the imformation is the original boxed set. This includes info on history of the Flanaess, the people, languages, money and trade, all the lands and countries of the Flanaess, mysterious places and rumors which can be developed into adventures, and details about the gods which includes some specialty priests. The Campaingn Book details the areas displayed in the third map around Greyhawk City. This book does not go into the details of Greyhawk City, but does update information found in The City of Greyhawk Boxed Set(582 CY). The detailed information on the surrounding lands is for the most part completely new and quite interesting and well written.
This boxed set in truly a great piece with lots of new information that could be used to enchance an old Greyhawk campaign or start a new one. If you can find this set, it is definitely worth it even though a lot of this information will be updated in the new Living Greyhawk campaign being developed by the RPGA.
