History
Initial hostilities were provoked by the evil demigod Iuz, but rapidly expanded to cover most of the Flanaess as opportunistic nations used the conflict to further their own ends. This conflict saw the unification and expansion of the Orcish Empire of the Pomarj as well as a desperate attempt by the Great Kingdom to reclaim its former glories.
The wars were ended in 584 when the final truce was brokered in the Free City of Greyhawk, and the war has come to be named for the city as a result.
