If Dorakaa looks familiar, that's because it's the capital of Iuz, home to the demigod of the same name. Also, I did a full map/guide of this city about a year ago. Check it out! Whyestil Lake is a focal point for much of the Greyhawk Wars between Furyondy and Iuz. This map of course only shows the northern half of the lake near Iuz and the adjacent Horned Lands of the mysterious Horned Society.
Take note, foolhardy heroes: other points of interest here is Devouring Bridge and Grunlend Keep from the source book, Iuz the Evil. Grunlend Keep is where Iuz's orcs are trying to learn how to sail warships. Luckily, so far it's a futile measure. Devouring Bridge on the other hand, is a span of fiendish construction and guarded by the worst kind of fiends on top of that! These are both places you have to pass on your way to fight the mighty Iuz on his own turf. That is, unless you know about the "wharves" from the module City of Skulls. I've already said too much....

Hi Mike. I am loving these maps. When I was young, I used to pick up these types of maps when we traveled. I remember poring over their every detail for hours. I was wondering, if you ended up doing all of the Greyhawk map like this, would you consider selling it as a poster. I'd be your first customer! Will
Will: LOL, well as I haven't planned for that excellent it would end up being quite a mess because the scales vary depending on the detail I want to use. The hex paper is always the same though. Now I could do an overall Flanaess poster map in this style, but perhaps at a wider scale, hmmm...
I LOVE this map, killer stuff. This whole site is wonderful. I gave you a shout out on my blog/podcast this week. Looking forward to more of these hand drawn Greyhawk maps!
Jeremy: Thanks a million! I always strive for variety. Just doing what strikes my mood. I will certainly do more maps soon.
