In the fictional ''World of Greyhawk'' campaign setting for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' roleplaying game, Sunndi is a political state situated in the region of the Flanaess. Sunndi was originally given a very brief description by Gary Gygax in 1980's World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting. In 1999, a much expanded description was included in a new "reboot" of the Greyhawk campaign setting published by Wizards of the Coast. This new edition describes Sunndi as a former province of the Great Kingdom with a history of interracial tolerance that has only recently declared itself to be an independent kingdom. In the massively shared Living Greyhawk campaign (2000–2008), Sunndi was a region assigned to Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. ==Developmental history== In 1980, a brief paragraph about the County of Sunndi was published by Gary Gygax in the ''The World of Greyhawk'' folio (TSR 9025). In the campaign's start date of 576 CY, Sunndi's population was listed as 50,000+, and its ruler was identified simply as the Count of Sunndi. An almost identical paragraph appeared in Gygax’s ''World of Greyhawk'' boxed set in 1983 (TSR 1015); however, the ruler was now identified by name as Count Hazendel, and the country’s population was more specifically given as 60,000. Gygax left TSR in 1985, and TSR took the Greyhawk storyline in a new direction via a boxed set called ''From the Ashes'' (TSR 1064). The storyline was advanced to 585 CY, the year after the end of a continent-wide war that had taken place 582-584 CY. Sunndi had been overrun by the armies of Ivid the Undying during the Wars, but had managed to regain its independence. The overall departure of the Greyhawk campaign from Gygax's original setting to this darker vision of post-war Flanaess was not well received by the public, and TSR stopped publishing Greyhawk material in 1993. In 1996, Wizards of the Coast took over TSR, and in 1998 revived the moribund Greyhawk setting for their new Third Edition of Dungeons and Dragons. The storyline was advanced to 590 CY, and now dealt with the new alliances and problems that had developed in the wake of the Greyhawk Wars. The description of Sunndi was expanded to include a short but comprehensive history; Sunndi had declared itself to be a fully independent kingdom, Count Hazendel was now Olvenking Hazendel, and the population was doubled to 125,000.〔 Using these resources, Sunndi in the most recent setting of Greyhawk can be described as follows. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunndi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
