D&Demons - The Oerth War
gvdammerung writes "A battle for Oerth has been waged among certain demon princes for millennia. Not a battle of physical conquest, it is a battle to corrupt and control. The recent conflicts styled the Greyhawk Wars that saw massed fiendish armies marshalled on Oerth are as nothing. The Greyhawk Wars have ended. The Oerth War continues."

The Bucknard Manuscript
gvdammerung writes "Bucknard is back! And he has news! Oerth's reality has been fatefully destabilized with potentially disasterous consequences. Its time for the Circle of Eight to swing into action and restore the Balance! But there is the small matter of what to do about Iuz, and Vecna, who are no help at all. Or are they? And who are the Secret Seven and what is there involvement? Break out your planar mechanics textbooks and multiversal sliderule. This is going to get complicated but all will be explained. Lucky Bucknard is back! Initiate Code Scarlet!"

Excerpts from The Libram Infernal: The Sixth Hell, Malbolge
Osmund-Davizid writes "The histories of the Nine Hells would fill every library in Oerth and still not begin to scratch the surface of all there is to know. There have been incredible upheavals in the hierarchy of the Hells recently and one region that merits further investigation is the rock slide ridden plane of Malbolge. The lich-sage of House Darmen, Rexifer, has devoted his (un)life to studying the ins and outs of the Blood War. This is a brief excerpt from his proposed nine-volume set of treatises detailing the whole of the Nine Hells - The Libram Infernal."

Excerpts from the Book of Fire: The Reckoning
Osmund-Davizid writes "The recent (by immortal standards) turmoil in the Nine Hells has passed by relatively unnoticed by dwellers of the Prime Material Plane. Taken from fragments from the Infernal Records (called the Book of Fire), the sage-priest of Hextor, Patriarch Verminek of Eastfair, has recently uncovered valuable historical data concerning the Hell-shattering event known to mortals as The Reckoning. In a letter sent to the priests of the Arrowstrand cathedral, Verminek details his findings."

Hell on Oerth
Osmund-Davizid writes "The records of the Thaumaturgists of the L’Ordre de la Croix-Rose Veritas hold many secrets. Recently, the head of the La Croix-Bleu, the wizard-sage Simoni, exchanged a letter to some of his comrades within the church of St. Cuthbert. The head of the temple of St. Cuthbert in Greyhawk authorized release of some of his notes to the Greyhawk Guild of Wizardry in order to facilitate the spread of knowledge to fight the diabolic on Oerth. This is an excerpt from the abridged version the Greyhawk Guild received."

An Alternate Cosmology
alleynbard writes "It is well known that the Physical Material Plane that Oerth rests in is the center of the multiverse. One has only to look at the nature of the planes to understand this. Come take an in depth look at an alternate Oerth cosmology based loosely on the myriad planes cosmology found in the 3e Manaul of the Planes and, more accurately, on my personal Oerth campaign."
