The Wild Coast refers to a large coastal stretch of land on the western shore of Woolly Bay.

History[edit]

The Wild Coast has essentially been a collection of six major city-states for most of its history, and has long held a reputation for being untamed.

Those city-states were (from north to south):

Prior to the Greyhawk Wars, each city-state controlled its own affairs. However, things changed once Turrosh Mak gained control of the Pomarj establishing the Orcish Empire of the Pomarj in about about 584 CY. In 584 CY Mak's forces marched north, taking the towns of Elredd, Badwall, Fax and Cantona, thus conquering the entire southern Wild Coast. Mak's forces were only stopped at the Battle of Celene Pass.[1] The remaining towns of Safeton and Narwell survived by swearing fealty to Greyhawk, resulting in the northern Wild Coast being absorbed into the Free City's Domain.

Geography[edit]

The Wild Coast is bordered by the Suss Forest to the south, the Welkwood to the west, the Gnarley Forest to the north, and Woolly Bay to the east.

Other locations on the Wild Coast include Nol-Daer and Newtemple.

In Dragon Magazine #90, two fiefdoms mentioned nowhere else are referred to in an article called "Playing the Political Game." These are the domain of Luxor and, sandwiched between Luxor and the Suss Forest, the smaller domain of Karmagia.

Heraldry[edit]

Due to the independent nature of the Wild Coast, no one standard has been adopted as representative of the entire region. However, the various city-states have traditionally carried their own devices:

  • Badwall: Argent, in pile three lozenges gules
  • Elredd: Lozengy or and vert
  • Fax: Argent, three lozenges gules
  • Narwell: Barry of eight, azure and argent
