In nearly all quarters, the public lauded the efforts of the publisher and artist. There were some who disliked the fact that the map was illustrated at the then-current year in Greyhawk History, being CY as opoposed to earlier eras like CY or CY.

The roads brought a sufficient number of travelers and merchant wagons to attract tradesmen and artisans to serve those passing through.

More farmers and herdsmen followed, for grain was needed for the passing animals, and meat was in demand for the inn-folk. Hommlet prospered, as the lord of the district was mild and taxes were light. Trade was good, and the area untroubled by war, outlaws, or ravaging beasts.
The area was free, beautiful, and bountiful. From about CY , the area around Hommlet began suffering from a few thieves and the odd group of bandits molesting the merchant caravans. Then came small bands of humanoids — kobolds or goblins — raiding the flocks and herds. Local militia and foresters of the Waldgraf of Ostverk checked, but did not stop, the spread of outlawry. The out of the way location of Nulb , about 6 miles to the north east of Hommlet on an tributary of the Velverdyva River Imeryds Run developed and became a base for the bandits.

Commerce ceased, but also crops withered and pestilence was abroad due to the effects of the Temple. The forces of the Temple comprised humans, gnolls, bugbears, ogres, trolls, and giants.
From this Temple, they unleashed earthquakes, storms, fires, and floods upon the countryside. Monsters were drawn to the area. The temple compound and dungeons were greatly damaged. The demonic force behind the Temple was too powerful to overcome and sealed in the dungeons by mages and priests of the Host.

I would like to ask a favor though from ya Joseph. If you could transfer the file to your server, that would be great. The site it's sitting on right now is actually my wife's business server that I use occasionally for just such a file too big for email. I'll have to remove it from there eventually and I'd hate for anyone to not have access to it. One final note. Since I'm anal-retentive, I couldn't let the map go without the distance key and greyhawk logo so I added them back to the map making it 23mb.
