Product Blurb The dust has settled. The smoke has cleared. The war machines of Greyhawk's armies have ground to a halt. In the aftermath of the great war, the people of Oerik piece their lives together, some struggling to retain their homes, other pilgrimaging to the cities, searching for opportunities. And searching for answers. Who is in power? Which borders still stand, and which have been dissolved? Can anyone be trusted, or have the Scarlet Brotherhood agents infiltrated every inn and tavern? The lands of Greyhawk are forever changed, but provide more opportunities than ever for adventure and danger. Characters of all levels will find challenges and intrigue lurking in every alley and behind every tree. This boxed set includes three poster maps of the Greyhawk lands, five new monsters, twenty cardsheets, two 96-page booklets describing the recovering nations and the Powers of Greyhawk, and endless opportunites for adventure!

From the Ashes is a Dungeons & Dragons gaming accessory for the game’s World of Greyhawk campaign setting. It was published in 1992 by TSR, Inc. as a boxed set of materials. The accessory was the first major update of the entire campaign setting to be published after the first boxed set, World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting, was released in 1983. From the Ashes focuses on the situation on the Flanaess in the immediate aftermath of the Greyhawk Wars.

The tone of the materials is intentionally darker and more grim than publications set in the pre-Wars era, and was designed to re-energize TSR’s sales of Greyhawk-related publications. The set was followed by related adventure modules and sourcebooks by Sargent including The Marklands, Iuz the Evil, and City of Skulls.

The boxed set consists of two books, Atlas of the Flanaess and Campaign Book, as well as several maps and reference sheets.
