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:
“We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
