Compiled by the Yeomanry Triad

Welcome to the Yeomanry Metagame Sourcebook! Inside you will find rules and guidelines for
a number of Yeomanry-specific organizations, skills, feats, prestige classes, adventuring
companies, and other metagame items. This document will discuss the prerequisites necessary
to achieve membership in these organizations. As rules additions and clarifications are
provided by the Circle of Six (Co6) we will make changes to this document accordingly and
make announcements as to when those changes will take effect.
All of the enclosed information is accurate as of October 31, 2003. Look for additional pages,
including final rules for Yeoman Citizenship and the various branches of the Yeoman army, to
be released throughout 2003. We also will keep you notified of updates on the website. It is
hoped that we will release official supplements to this guidebook about twice a year.
We suggest that you bring a copy of this Guidebook with you to conventions and game days
not only to help you in your role-playing, but also to clarify to judges and other players who
might not be familiar with the Yeoman League.
Please refer to the following webpages and newsgroups for the latest Living Greyhawk and
Yeomanry regional information:

renowned for its seven great statues of the gods –
