Flan (Greyhawk)

Flan (Greyhawk)

context

In the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" roleplaying game, the Flan are a race of humans living in the Flanaess. The Flan peoples were the first humans known to have settled the eastern portion of the continent of Oerik, the Flanaess, which is named for them. Regions of the Flanaess that contain a significant number of Flan peoples include Geoff, Sterich, the Rovers of the Barrens, Tenh, and the Wolf Nomads.

Pre-migrations Flan are described in the "World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting's" "Guide to the World of Greyhawk" as "hardy and capable hunters but not particularly warlike, and their small and scattered groups made no appreciable civilizing efforts." This is a simplification, for the Flan boast several pre-Migrations cultures, including those found at Sulm in the Bright Desert, Veralos on the edge of Rift Canyon, Tostehnca in the Griff Mountains, and several others.
