====The ''Greyhawk Wars''====
In order to move players from Gygax's familiar ''World of Greyhawk'' to their new vision, TSR planned a trilogy of modules that would familiarize players with events and conditions leading up to the coming war, and then take them through the war itself. Once players completed the war via the three modules, a new boxed set would be published to introduce the new storyline and the new Flanaess. Two ''World of Greyhawk Swords'' modules, [[Five Shall Be One|WGS1 ''Five Shall Be One'']] by [[Carl Sargent]] and [[Howl from the North|WGS2 ''Howl from the North'']] by [[Dale Henson]], were released in 1991. These described events leading up to the war.

The third module was reworked into ''[[Greyhawk Wars (game)|Greyhawk Wars]]'', a strategy [[Miniature wargaming|war game]] that led players through the events, strategies, and alliances of the actual war. A booklet included with the game, ''Greyhawk Wars Adventurer's Book'', described the event of the war. In 582 CY (six years after Gygax's original setting of 576 CY), a regional conflict started by Iuz gradually widened until it was a war that affected almost every nation in the Flanaess. A peace treaty was signed in the city of Greyhawk two years later, which is why the conflict became known as the ''Greyhawk Wars''. On the day of the treaty-signing, Rary—once a minor spellcaster created and then discarded by Brian Blume, but now elevated by TSR to the Circle of Eight—attacked his fellow Circle members, aided and abetted by Robilar. After the attack, Tenser and [[Otiluke]] were dead, while Robilar and Rary fled to the deserts of the [[Bright Lands]]. Rob Kuntz, original creator of Robilar, objected to this storyline, since he believed that Robilar would never attack his old adventuring companion Mordenkainen. Although Kuntz did not own the creative rights to Robilar and no longer worked at TSR, he unofficially suggested an alternate storyline that Robilar had been visiting another plane and in his absence, a clone or evil twin of Robilar was responsible for the attack.<ref>{{cite web | title = Robilar Remembers: Lord Robilar & Co | publisher = Pied Piper Publishing | date = 2007-01-29 | url = http://site.pied-piper-publishing.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=65 | access-date = 2009-05-16 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090221002750/http://site.pied-piper-publishing.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=65 | archive-date = 2009-02-21 | url-status = dead}}</ref>
