Saga of Old City — Gary Gygax

GREYHAWK...

a beautiful, wondrous city.

a cruel city.
a harsh, pitiless city for a young orphan boy with no money and no friends -- but plenty of enemies!

Enter the Old City of Greyhawk, that marvelous place where dreams -- and nightmares -- come true. Travel through the world of Oerth along with Cord, the boy who becomes a man as he fights for his survival in a world of mysterious wizards, fearsome monsters, dour dwarves, and beautiful women. For Oerth is a world where a man's eyes always watch the shadows ... and a man's hand is always on the hilt of his dagger.

Here, at last, is adventure enough to last a lifetime -- perhaps a very short lifetime!
