This zone is one in which Greyhawk militias make organized strikes with medium-sized strike squads, and where control is disputed between humanoids from the Pomarj, bandits, elves (on the edges of the Welkwood), and even a few determined local farm folk still hanging on to their homes. The buffer zone has no fixed boundaries

The buffer zone is a largely razed area of terrain; there are few buildings left unruined, and many have been burned by raiding humanoids or deliberately ruined by bandits seeking to disguise
their hideouts.

Because the buffer zone is so fluid, it is hard to give specific detail about it, but four locations illustrate vividly the kind of struggle that takes place in this area.
