The building next door has a room with a table, under the table is a concealed trap door, which leads to a passage that runs between the two cities ending in a pawn shop. The Union consisted of several levels, each a maze of wall cubicles, Gord's was on the top floor, the cellar has a kitchen, an unused back stairwell. The Beggarmaster's private quarters has a secret shaft down to the sewers, it is disguised as a cistern. 100' down there is a small ledge and an old door. During the Beggar/Thief war, the Beggars controlled the North Thieves Quarter - bordered by Cleaver. This union supplemented the Beggar's guild with aid from actors, peddlers, tinkerers, and renegade thieves.

Description:

• It costs 5sp to enter the city through one of the gates, including the gate that leads to a Waybridge. 
• It is surrounded by a double wall. The outer curtain is 25 feet high, with a splayed base and ditches, moats, or river running round it. It is topped with crenellations and machicolations and bastions. Between the inner and outer walls is a hundred foot wide strip of grass, level with the battlements of the outer wall. The inner wall is forty feet high and has towers. The city gates have gate houses, and a long passageway which pieces the sward above until one reaches the tower on the inner wall. The entire city is on a low hill. Each section of the green has a troop or two (20 to 40 men) of cavalry. Walls are 18 feet wide, 30 feet high, made of granite, with people atop about 150 feet apart, archers in the towers. 
• The city sewers and water ducts are carved from limestone, with shafts to cisterns sunk in harder rock below. No longer in danger of siege, many of the water pipes are sealed up and the water level is low but present. The upper is primarily drainage and water supply. There exist military defense plans for moving troops through the underground passages in the case of an emergency. There is a second level containing more chambers and wells and fewer drains. The great reservoir lies down hill, away from the Old City, on the third and lowest known level. This level also contains slow moving canals. The upper two levels are reasonably frequently trafficked containing rats, spiders and the like as well as the occasional patrol of one agency or another. Dark things lurk in seldom used cisterns on the third level however. In many locations hidden information has been scrawled on the walls, including symbols meaning - exit up ahead; access to a lower pathway; secret door; etc. There are stairwell accesses as well as the traditional sewer hole/ladder accesses. 
• The cargo gate 6 feet high, 12 feet wide, 1 foot thick, with porticullis. Guards are named Arto and Frank. They check for poison, etc., and they have magic devices. They draw a picture of everyone as you go in. City is mostly thatched roof buildings. 
• This place becomes the last place of resistance when Tharizdun invades Oerth. It has a non-magical street lighting system which is pretty impressive to watch because the city is very large. Most sentries operate in pairs. 
• There are a variety of clothing styles, not typical of Nyrundian Cities. We pass the Guild Station of the Nigh Watchman almost right away.
• The University of Greyhawk (mage school) and its libraries are the largest buildings in the city.
• The city is divided into Nine Sectors
• High Quarter north of Halls and Clerkburg, high class gaming courtesans, and drinking establishments where High meets Garden. The Enclave south of River Street, from the Old Wall to the Processional, east of the High quarter and touching the green commons near the Newmarket Square. It is a group of lavish homes that house the "upper class" thieves, assassins, harlots, and other criminal elements, but not the Guild heads, who live elsewhere.
• Garden Quarter has a sporting district where it meets the High Quarter. It is on the opposite side of town from the Citadel and the Grand Square; is north of Halls & Clerkburg.
• Low Quarter near the River Quarter and is adjacent to (East of?) the Strip is north of Halls District. The Strip runs from Dockside to Low Street, bordered on one side by The Processional; filled with Bawdy houses, taverns, gambling dens, saloons, thieves, other entertainment. It lies between the River Quarter and Low Quarter.
• River Quarter near the Strip; It is a trade sector. It is just north of the Southern sector, it is separated from the city by the city walls to the South and West. Rivergate connects it to the city. It is just across the Selintan from Hook Harbor. Depositor's District area of huge warehouses in the upper River Quarter.
• Southern sector has stores, markets, indoor bazaars, et cetera, is adjacent to the River Quarter.
• Foreign Quarter has an adjacent dock area; is connected to Old City in the north by Black Gate, where it meets the Quarter of Craftsmen. It is reserved for those not claiming to be citizens of the city. 30 foot walls seal it off from the rest of the city. Craft District - aka. Quarter of Craftsmen, Craftsman's Ward just beyond the South wall of Old City, near the administrative districts and the Religious district, is in the old city, adjacent to the Foreign Quarter and is also known as the Artisans' Sector or the Artisans' district. It's placement in Old City contradicts EGG's map in the front of City of Hawks.
• Longtrade Halls & Clerkburg lie between the Grand Square and Waghalter Gate; south of High and Garden, south of Low Quarter. They meet in South Central Greyhawk, there are several theaters and music halls there. Surrounding these are many inns and taverns. Clerkburg district of bureaucrats and the bookish, the upper end is adjacent to the Halls; it has clerks, administrators, and scribes. There is an underground passage from here to Old City.
• Halls is the government center, full of religious edifices. The lower portion houses the University and smaller schools. It also contains dreary lodging for lower level employees of the Citadel. Religious district near the Artisan's district and the administrative districts.
• University District extends from Craftsman's Ward on the East to the Halls in the North with in the trading belt that follows the lower Processional from the River Quarter to the Citadel. Most students and colleges are along the wall of Greyhawk in the southern most part of the University sector.

Rules of Dyvers:

• Visitors must go to the office of the Captain General of the Watch at the citadel to get weapons permits. This office is past Water Street (temple at the end of the street).
• You need to use Greyhawk City coin (exchanged at the moneychanger's guild). 
• If you want to do anything without being bothered, you usually have to join a guild or get permits from a guild. This is an expensive city.

Locations:

• The citadel. The changing of the guard involves about 80 people. This is not a good place to attack. There are more gates inside the citadel gates. Guards warn you to stay away from the prison or the great block house (tallest building, mounted ballistae, 50-ft. taller than the walls). Visitors go to the Redoubt building to get weapons permits, ornate, with two Greyhawk City guards wearing chain mail. 20 people on the walls can see us from this position. The building is built to withstand wars, clearly. The balcony at the guard place has more archers, and Dobermans on both levels. The city vault room is also in this complex and very well guarded. More people drawing pictures of us at most checkpoints. The Citadel the most heavily fortified portion of the city, the citadel contains a fortress, palace, administrative center, and garrison for the army. It is not highly trafficked by the general public. It is on the east bank of the Selitan. City of Hawks places it north of the Low quarter and south of the High quarter.
• Guard station, sign is long sword, crossbows. 
• Guard station is connected through the sewers to the University. Passage leads  through a utility hallway, complete with echoes. We pass a portcullis with a small door and an arrow slit. Guard whispers a command word into an arrow slit. We go through a large pipe, walk around a cistern, and go out the opposite end to a special passageway. There are definitely rodents down here. The path branches to the right, coming our way is a guard and guys in robes, both wearing symbols of Greyhawk. Gentlemen is the password. Cromwell opens a hole in the wall with a key, then sticks his hand into some ooze, and we’re in.
• The Wizard’s Guild Hall is a large dark pyramid, magical steps lead up 18 feet wide marble entry halfway up the pyramid (Founded in CY393 Zagig Yagrene). There’s a grand archway and large columns with gargoyles perched on the sides. The building has black, solid wood doors. Clicking the knocker makes a gong sound. A slot opens in the door at waist level. The guy is a dwarf in dwarven scale mail. His helm has a large red diamond, and he has a nice weapon with a nice scabbard. The gate opens to columns and a long hall. The walls are filled with paintings of all kinds of people… Urnstian too. The library is here, the guild library, including the spellbooks of Zagig the archmage. It’s possible to get spell components here.
• C6 Greyhawk University. People walking around looking like clerks. A woman ahead of us asks if she may enter, is hit by a blue spotlight and floats up toward the center of the pyramid. We do the same thing, float up and see a storm on the horizon (we’re high up). Another dwarf greets us at the top. We’re here to see the Mage of Exchange, so he sends us away, saying we’ll receive an invitation with an hour. In the halls, Feltcap is one of the mage-looking guys. Students are there chatting about no one enters the University without an invitation. They are from Bigby’s School.
• Greycollege, claims to have the best educated men and women in the civilized world. This is the oldest college in Greyhawk.
• C2 Grey College library—history, geography, science, city records, art. The library is headed by a Drow magician. Only guild members can get you in. Writ lets you in but access is limited by level.

• University of the Flaness (C15)
• School of Singing (C9, very powerful, bardic). In the garden behind the school is the bridge of entwined hearts. At the Performer’s Guild, there’s a bard named Lothar singing a love song about when people met on the Bridge of Entangled Hearts.
• H8 is the Royal Opera House. Go to the Royal Opera House to look for Stiletto Jim Guild and other thief contacts. Royal Opera House has barbarians from the Run Run clan. Other people there are people with pointed caps with veils. 
• Churches: 
• St. Pelor’s Temple… large red heart symbol, large archway off to the left, feeding the poor, beds on other side. High priest wears yellow robes, golden fleece cloaks, older, homely. Pelor likes good works to the poor. High priestess Sarana shows up with a long rod in her hand with holy water. She addresses the church.
• Temple of Fharlanghn few priests here, as it is an urban setting, but they are a tolerant sect. They are known for selling continual light stones for 3000 bronze zees each.
• The Temple of Nerull is avoided by all, even most worshipers, after dark, for fear of becoming a sacrifice. There is a maze of passageways and rooms beneath the place. It is known as the Lightless Temple.
• Pyramid temple of Zilchus ($$ changers and merchants).
• Inns: 
• River Rat. It’s on the strip… two-story building sounds like a ruckus. Two men walk out wearing Rhenee outfits and speaking Rhenee. There’s a bar under the stairs. Harlon Quintok Rum, Tequila, a 3gp drink with paper label Red Fox 574. This is a bad bar. There’s a dagger fight, and two people get killed.
• There are firecrackers going off in the distance, flying in the city there’s a blue dragon glowing and circling beyond the strip. In another part of the city, there’s a silver dragon going in circles. These are the "signs" for some of the more established inns further in the city.

• G8 is the Gold Dragon Inn.

They’re talking about what they will do with the money. They just came back from Zagig’s Keep.

• Hanging Man’s Inn is a good place to make contact with the local thieve’s guild to find info about Dyvers. The rule is don’t steal in there, and it's probably not a great idea to sleep there. At the Hanging Man Inn, Neerg has a good forgery racket.

The Dark One enlisted a Duke of Hell to drive the wolves to attack the humans, worst attacks in history, able to go through walls. McBaine made a deal with one of the liches and a forsaken (Lanfear) who offered him a deal to kill two liches. Forsaken kept the secret for him. Lord Taran Soothra fell into a trap for it and learned of the secret, so McBaine went on a quest for atonement. McBaine followed signs deep into Southlands and found the Duke of Hell. On the anniversary of the final battle, the wolves grew in power and began speaking, howling at the cities, saying McBaine sent them, but he had not. McBaine fought the Duke of Hell and discovered that he was a wolfbrother, born to run with the wolves and fight the Dark One together. The Duke of Hell kept the history and role of the wolves a secret, but McBaine brought that knowledge back to the wolves. Whenever you travel, the wolfbrothers will be among you. Yellow eyes are the mark of the wolfbrother. Gain +1 will save v. evil after the roll for hearing the story of Finerio McBaine’s quest.

Greyhawk Castle

Now in ruins, this castle was rich, but was sacked long ago (by Tenser, Robilar, Teric/Terik, Murlynd, etc.) now few go to the castle, but untouched wealth lies deep within. There are many other planes intersecting in this castle including alternate primes. It is built on a high (250 ft) hill, three miles north of Greyhawk city. Tangled vegetation surrounds the place. There is a swamp to the north. Some brigands moved in to the upper levels. Lots of creatures lie below.

• In the center of the first floor is a spiral staircase down. Next to the first step is a secret door, beyond which is a spiral stair. It is a web strewn shaft with many narrow open ledges. 200 feet down the shaft, or 300 feet below the top floor, runes and symbols are on the walls, a shallow pool is in the center of the chamber. Rusted iron doors are at the end.
• The sigil on the floor is matched to one on the wall. When these are pressed the pool area sinks into a circular chamber with 9 exits. The fifth arch is 15' high. It leads to a smooth sloping passage that goes 1' down for every 10' forward. Phosphorescent fungi illuminate the passage.
• After a quarter mile journey, a cavern is reached. In here the elements are combined and alternate, forming mixes and pure forms of the four elemental planes. They can be commanded to form a prime plane. This realm is ruled by The Element Master. He will allow those who pass his trials to pass. The trials are of fire, water, air, earth, or nature. The trial by nature is the easiest and consists of each party member fighting a giant class animal or monster. Warriors fight a giant bull; Rogues fight a giant snake; Wizards fight a roc. Each must destroy their assigned monster before they can aid the others, or all will be killed. If they survive, they are offered the choice between passage to the next chamber, or a prize.
• The next cavern is that of the Lord of balance. Behind, the Element Master's cavern is one of alternating colors and conditions. There is a sloping passage leading to a cavern with the sign of balance - a huge metal scale. The cavern is half light, half dark, half of the pool is aflame, one half is ice. Plants are thriving on rocks and rotting in rich soil. There are colorless trees with multicolored blossoms. All of the contents are contrasts, everywhere and nowhen. Yangyin and Yinyang are here. They journey with those who enter for one hour to the cavern center. They choose contestants who must be of contrasting natures in order to preserve balance. They test either Undead vs life, or go forth to return. This last test can be beaten by going to the end of the chamber and sending the pair of balance back.
• The next tunnel, cavern is The Realm of Thought. Any thoughts here can materialize. Beyond lies the Ebon Wall and Bocheirs, the fish-bodied demon.
• The power in the castle from alternate planes is now diminished. The Sea of Thought has lizard-like monsters in it and is now a small mucky lake in an extensive cavern.
• See also Dragon Annual #2 pp. 96-99 and Tales from the Green Dragon in The Council of Greyhawk's Oerth Journal 7 for a description of the early castle campaigns involving Robilar, Tenser, and Teric. Three modules have been published detailing portions of EGG's version of Greyhawk Castle: EX1 Dungeonland, EX2 The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror, and WG6 Isle of the Ape.
• "'Greyhawk Castle', for example, has over a dozen levels in succession downwards, more than that number branching from these, and not less than two new levels under construction at any given time. These levels contain such things as a museum from another age, an underground lake, a series of caverns filled with giant fungi, a bowling alley for 20' high Giants, an arena of evil, crypts, and so on. - Gygax & Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons Vol. 3: The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures p. 4
• Gygax & Kuntz's Greyhawk Supplement to D&D has a drawing of "The Great Stone Face Enigma of Greyhawk" as well as a listing of a number of potential tricks and traps, possibly found within the castle. The first edition DMG notes that other areas of the castle included a "land of pure Greek mythology", and the means to travel "through the multiverse to different planets including Jack Vance's 'Planet of Adventure',..." p.112
