Grey College

342 CY Zagig Yragerne, Lord Mayor of Greyhawk, purchases the land that would become the city's district of Clerkburg, from Lord Truan Iolavai. He founds the Grey College. (LGJ #4 p.4,5).

491 CY The music tutors of the Grey College of Greyhawk break away to form the Bardschool. (The Adventure Begins p.96)

The Order of the Rosy Cross of Truth

The Order of the Rosy Cross of Truth or the Order of the Rosy Cruciform, was founded in 587 CY, after the Greyhawk Wars. It was founded by Ormus, a former priest of Rao, recently converted to Saint Cuthbert's faith. When Ormus discovered an evil warlord had been corrupted by a devil in disguise, he founded the new order to track down other devils living among mortals in disguise. The order has three branches: La Croix-Vert (the priestly branch), La Croix-Blanc (the military branch), and La Croix-Bleu (wizardly/arcane branch). There is also a clandestine, undisclosed branch known as La Coix-Noir (the rogue/thief secret strike force.) The order is based at l’Abbaye de la Croix Glorieuse in the Vesve Forest.

The order enlarged and strengthened a great deal from 587 - 591 CY and began to expand into Gran March, the Principality of Ulek and County of Ulek, as well as the Duchy of Urnst and County of Urnst.
