Publication History
This map, and portions of it, was used in Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (2007).
Schley stated in an interview on on his website that he based his work on the Tetreault map. Schley credited Tetreault as the basis of his map, saying, "This design of The Free City of Greyhawk was also influenced by the previous cartographic work of Denis Tetreault."[2] Schley lauded Tetreault's work (and all those before him), saying, "We as artists for companies, when working on projects with long shelf-lives, we kind of stand on the shoulders of giants."[3]
