Foreward CC inaugural issue opening letter Boy, has this been a long time coming! The idea of CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES started to percolate in various minds about four years ago. The idea behind it was not only to develop an e-zine counterpart for THE OERTH JOURNAL, but to also develop a format for presenting Canonfire! special features, such as article compilations, comprehensive gazetteers, and otherwise large and impressive submissions that simply wouldn’t be done justice by being displayed on a web page. The version of CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES that you now look upon is the counterpart to THE OERTH JOURNAL. Some of you who are familiar with THE OERTH JOURNAL will recognize some of the feature titles herein from past issues of THE OERTH JOURNAL. The features in each e-zine will now be split and expanded upon. Those features mainly dealing with the WORLD OF GREYHAWK® campaign setting will be featured in THE OERTH JOURNAL, while those that deal mainly with adventuring in the WORLD OF GREYHAWK will be featured in CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES. You will find articles that are written in various rules sets, and sometimes in more than one, but there is no “official” set of rules for articles that appear in CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES (or in THE OERTH JOURNAL for that matter), though you can expect them to be in at least one of the versions of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® rules. And with that, I give you over to the fine folks who will be running the CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES show. Enjoy! — Brian "Cebrion" McRae, July 2013. The digital tome you see before you, ladies and gentlemen, is a work of true love. My fellow contributors and I have eagerly awaited the day that we finally see our labor realized, and it is with enormous pride that we present it here, to you, the fans of GREYHAWK. Many writers, artists, editors, and layout experts have combined their skills in an effort to bring their best work to you. It took years of labor – all volunteer – to fine-tune each piece within these covers until it met with its creator’s approval. What you find within are the ideas, hopes, dreams, and even the fears of some of your fellow GREYHAWK fans for the world we love. Our campaigns are not canon, but we offer these nuggets from them in the hope that you may find bits to feed rumors that sprout buds of adventure in the only campaign that really matters – yours! If you are a regular visitor to Canonfire!, you will note several familiar names among the credits. Some have written professionally, some have not. Some have posted articles at Canonfire! (and elsewhere), and for some this is their debut. Some are regular posters in the Canonfire! forums, and elsewhere, and others are infrequent guests. Considering this, it should be apparent that anyone can be a part of this publication, and we want to encourage everyone to step up and lend a hand. If you have written something that you would like to contribute, send us a draft! If you are an artist and would love to contribute some of your works, or are willing to create new art based on soon-to-be-published submissions, let us know! If you are willing to help with editing, proofreading, or formatting/layout, please contact us! As volunteers, we are a rotating group of individuals, and it is because new volunteers raise their hands that publications like CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES and THE OERTH JOURNAL exist at all. We do our best to help one another as a team and, sure as a Shielding Oath, we want you to be involved! Within this issue of CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES you will find three full adventures of varying length. Though full-length adventures were not featured in every issue of THE OERTH JOURNAL, you will find many of them in most issues of CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES, as that is the main purpose of this fan-zine. We are also happy to present a few articles that provide seeds for DMs to plant in the fertile soil of their own campaigns, to see them grow as they see fit. Lastly, our heartfelt condolences go out to Adam Thomas, author of A Little Problem, on the loss of his fiancé Crystal, whose maps grace the pages of his adventure. We are honored and privileged to present to you what is her artistic swan song in this first issue of Canonfire! Chronicles. This flagship issue of CANONFIRE! CHRONICLES is here for your entertainment, and we hope it leads you to many new and memorable adventures. "May the Canonfire! Chronicles axe grow great!" — Skip "SirXaris" Twitchell
