1. Tsolorandril went to a costume party in Irongate. Tsolo is a close ally of one of Irongate's notable residents, the mage Elayne Mystica.
2. The Hateful Wars began in 498 CY, the same year Greyhawk City became a free city. Nice timing there Celene.
3. The obscure character, Onselven is the main advisor to Yolande and appears in illustration in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer.
4. Yolande has many honorifics as her people love to heap them on. After 498 CY she also adds the title "the Perfect Flower of Celene."
5. It's good to be the Queen. According to the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, Yolande took many consorts to practice the Faerie Mysteries. Sounds kinky, eh?
6. From the above. While it is perfectly legal for Yolande to cheat on her consort, that doesn't stop the gossiping does it?
7. Duke Grenowin the High Elven ruler of the Duchy of Ulek is not canonically a lover ot consort of Yolande, but he could've been, or would like to be. ;)
8. Prince Brightflame, cousin of Yolande is the courtly name of Melf the elf of Melf's Acid Arrow fame. It's quite a complicated story so check this out.
9. The War of Extermination is an elven war against the scaly races from pre-history, written about in Erik Mona's article: "The Great Embarkation."
10. The Hateful Wars was in fact a series of conflicts. So over the course of 12 years, the elves killed then took a break, then started up again and so on. Genocide was never so well organized.
11. Not all humanoid tribes went to the Pomarj, some actually found their way north to the Yatils.
12. The dwarves, gnomes and halflings really did get rich off of Yolande's war. It's in the '83 Greyhawk Guide.
13. Would have the legendary Slavelords even existed if not for Yolande?
14. Yolande's isolation of Celene mainly persisted during the Greyhawk Wars which occured nearly 100 years after the Hateful Wars. That's last month in elf time.
15. The little scenes on the maps in case you weren't aware are from the Hobbit cartoon by Rankin-Bass. Greyhawk and Tolkien are peanut butter and chocolate.
16. Lastly, why would Yolande take murderous advice from a talking dog? Well if she was caught, she can always plead insanity. :)
