I am in need of counsel from those out there who are more knowledegable than myself in all things Greyhawk, as I plan on running my STAP 'as-is'.
My question is:
Does anyone know of any aquatic elf communities in the waters near Sasserine? One of my party members is going to be an aquatic elf, and wants to be from Sasserine (or at least nearby). As I said, my knowledge of Oerth is very limited, so I don't know if this area has had any prior treatment before in D&D to use as a reference.
Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance for your help!

I have seen very little in the Greyhawk literature on where the different aquatic humanoid groups have their strongholds. I'd just tell your player there is a mostly submerged coral reef about 30 miles offshore that houses a sizeable aquatic elf community. Let the player make up the rest about this community and plop it into Greyhawk. Greyhawk is really written with lots of space for these kinds of maneuvers, and you shouldn't feel as if you're violating canon by doing so.

Thanks for the advice Peruhain. My greatest fear was overlooking any canon material that was just too good to pass up.
Since the field is wide open, I'll take your geographical advice and then let my player flesh out her home. I have a feeling I won't be disappointed with the possible story hooks...
Thanks again for the help - I now have one less detail to worry about! :)
