Events

Furyondy declares independence from the Great Kingdom. After the death of Viceroy Stinvri, his heir Thrommel I is declared king of the realm now known as Furyondy. This leads to small-scale fighting, but no all-out war. Thrommel I is crowned on Flocktime 18, celebrated thereafter as Crowning Day. (LGG p.23,41,46,82,103; Player's Guide p.9; Dragon Annual 4 p.21)
In response, the Great Kingdom stations a large force at Greyhawk, and a smaller garrison at Hardby. However, only minor skirmishes with Furyondy occur. (TAB p.58)
Gynarch Varasia Yragerne declares the title of Gynarch of Hardby to be hereditary in the Family of Yragerne. (Dungeon #109 p.95)
