- The Yeomanry rises up against the tyrant Asberdies. He is overthrown, and the Yeomanry develop their own system of government. (LGG p.135)
Notes
The exact year -258 CY for the overthrow of Asberdies is given in Living Greyhawk (RPGA) adventure Shield of Fury, Shield of Faith (2005), by Rich Oliver. However, official sources outside of LG are less specific.
Living Greyhawk Gazetteer p.135 describes the diplomatic events of -96 CY as occurring "almost two centuries" after the establishment of the Yeomanry's new government, dating that event no later than -295 CY (199 years), and certainly no earlier than -246 CY (150 years). The overthrow of Asberdies may plausibly have occurred a number years earlier than the formal establishment of government. The LG date of -258 CY for the overthrow of Asberdies (162 years before -96 CY) is plausible.
