==Notes==

''[[Living Greyhawk]]'' content published in 2006 is set in 596 CY. 

As was [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s policy at the time, the ''[[Living Greyhawk]]'' campaign continuity advanced the timeline to [[591 CY]] for works released in 2001, continuing on a year-for-year basis for all adventures and Wizards.com web articles up to to [[598 CY]] in 2008. This timeline concurrency rule would also be applied in ''[[dragmag|Dragon]]'', ''[[Dungeon]]'', and ''[[Polyhedron]]'' magazines.  The ''[[Living Greyhawk Gazetteer]]'' (2000), set in 591 CY, and [[Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk]] (2007), set in [[597 CY]] CY, explicitly set dates bookending these years.

In several [[Paizo]] forum threads, editor [[Erik Mona]] asserted that the rule applies in general to all Greyhawk adventures:<ref>{{cite web |last=Mona |first=Erik |authorlink=Erik Mona |title=Appropriate Year for Greyhawk SCAP |url=https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2gkxe?Appropriate-Year-for-Greyhawk-SCAP#9 |format=forum |work=Paizo Forums |publisher=[[Paizo]] |date=22 November 2006 |accessdate=7 January 2024 |page=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Mona |first=Erik |authorlink=Erik Mona |title=What happens before the Greyhawk Wars? |url=https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2gm25?AoWAP-happens-before-the-Greyhawk-Wars#15 |format=forum |work=Paizo Forums |publisher=[[Paizo]] |date=2 February 2006 |accessdate=7 January 2024 |page=}}</ref><ref name=campaigndates>{{cite web |last=Mona |first=Erik |authorlink=Erik Mona |title=Campaign Dates for all three APs |url=https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2hirs?Campaign-Dates-for-all-three-APs#2 |format=forum |work=Paizo Forums |publisher=[[Paizo]] |date=31 July 2007 |accessdate=7 January 2024 |page=}}</ref> 
{{quote |The default assumption of all Greyhawk adventures in ''[[Dungeon]]'' ... is that the last digit of the year in which they were published corresponds to the last digit in the [[Common Year]] calendar... 59X CY (X<nowiki>=</nowiki> last digit of real world year).
