World of Greyhawk Boxed Set (1983)
In 1983, the folio edition was upgraded to a boxed set that quadrupled its page count to 128 pages.* However, most of the increased space was devoted to new details of deities, races, and cultures. The only changes to Ket were that its population was now specifically 85,000, and the name of its ruler was Zoltan. In this edition, Gygax outlined the various human pantheons of gods, including the Baklunish deities Istus, Geshtai, Zuoken and Xan Yae. The True Faith was again mentioned as the predominant religion of Ket, but none of the Baklunish gods was specifically linked to it.
The only other extra detail about Ket in this edition was that intelligent apes called dakon were known to dwell within the Bramblewood Forest.

Famous quotes containing the words boxed and/or set:
“Is it the lumberman, then, who is the friend and lover of the pine, stands nearest to it, and understands its nature best? Is it the tanner who has barked it, or he who has boxed it for turpentine, whom posterity will fable to have been changed into a pine at last? No! no! it is the poet.... All the pines shudder and heave a sigh when that man steps on the forest floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Nothing in medieval dress distinguished the child from the adult. In the seventeenth century, however, the child, or at least the child of quality, whether noble or middle-class, ceased to be dressed like the grown-up. This is the essential point: henceforth he had an outfit reserved for his age group, which set him apart from the adults. These can be seen from the first glance at any of the numerous child portraits painted at the beginning of the seventeenth century.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
