Over the years with so much history to the world of Oerth, has anybody ever put together a collected history of Greyhawk?. Possibly just a history as regulated by the published product? Or even one that is supplemented by home-brewed work?

The reason I ask is that it is very dificult to piece together the "small details" of history through 40 different products and everybodies personal version that can be found online.

If anybody could let me know whether such a thing exists, I would appreciate it. Post it here so we can all learn from it.

thx.

Not of all Greyhawk, but of the Sheldomar.
The primary version is limited to published materials. I keep it as a baseline to develop personal, divergent, histories.

Probably the closest thing would be Steve Wilson's Grey Chronodex: http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/tamerlain/Greyhawk/GreyChrondex41.html
