[[folder: Circle of Eight]]
!!Circle of Eight
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/circle_of_eight01.jpg]]
The Circle of Eight (formed from the earlier Citadel of Eight) is an organization of wizards. They are based in the Flanaess, the easternmost portion of Oerik. Its initial members were Mordenkainen and Bigby, his apprentice. The two decided to form a group to attempt to maintain the balance between the extremes of Oerth. They recruited Robilar, Riggby, Yrag, Tenser, Serten, and Otis. The name of the group was based on their number and Mordenkainen's Obsidian Citadel.
----
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: The Circle of Eight's chief purpose seems to be the preservation of the balance of power between the forces of Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos in the Flanaess, ensuring that one does not dominate the other for an extended period of time. To this end, the Circle often works behind the scenes, especially when aiding the cause of evil.
* NonIndicativeName: Despite the organization's name, the Circle of Eight actually has nine members. The Circle consists of eight powerful wizards and their leader, Mordenkainen the archmage. In fact, the group is sometimes referred to as "Mordenkainen and the Circle of Eight".
!!Mordenkainen
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mordenkainen06.jpg]]
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Wizard
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
Mordenkainen is one of the most powerful archmagi of the Flanaess. He has played diverse roles throughout many stories and adventures, but is most notable for being the shadow-leader of the Circle of Eight, a cabal of eight magi. It is clear, however, that he is one of the greater heroes (or antiheroes) of the Flanaess.
----
* TheArchmage: He is a prolific archmage who is responsible for many powerful and useful spells.
* BlueBlood: Possibly. Some claim that he is a descendant of Ganz Yragerne, first Landgraf of the Selintan, which would mean he's also related to Zagig and Heward. According to some sources, he is distantly related to House Cranden, one of the royal houses of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy.
* TheChessmaster: Mordenkainen formed the Circle of Eight as a tool to manipulate political factions of the Flanaess, preserving the delicate balance of power in hopes of maintaining stability and sanity in the region. Mordenkainen's view of 'enforced neutrality' is not a tit-for-tat equality but rather a detailed theoretical philosophy derived from decades of arcane research. He has fought ardently for the forces of Good, most recently during the Greyhawk Wars, but just as often has worked on darker plots to achieve his ends.
* ContinuitySnarl: Resources about Mordenkainen sometimes disagree with each other, since even the official publications for the World of Greyhawk sometimes contradict each other.
* DimensionalTraveler: Although Mordenkainen resides primarily on Oerth, he is known to have occasionally visited [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Faerûn]], where he became acquainted with fellow wizard Elminster Aumar and the two exchanged spells and lore. Mordenkainen later also traveled to [[TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}} Barovia]] in an attempt to free the local population from its vampire darklord Strahd, although he didn't succeed.
* MysteriousPast: His birthplace is unknown, but before coming to prominence in the early 560s, he is thought to have resided on the Wild Coast. He also resided for a time in the City of Greyhawk, as well as Highfolk. He is rumored to be of Oeridian blood, possibly Aerdi.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like he's in his mid-forties, even though he's actually over eighty years old.
!!Bigby
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bigby01.png]]
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Wizard
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
Bigby is an archmage. Before the Greyhawk Wars, Bigby made his home in Scant, capital of Onnwal. Nowadays, he can often be found in Mitrik, Veluna. His personal symbol is an open palm behind a large, stylized bumblebee. The former apprentice of Mordenkainen, Bigby helped found the Circle of Eight.
----
* TheApprentice: He was an apprentice of Mordenkainen.
* TheArchmage: Bigby is responsible for developing numerous commonly known spells.
* BackFromTheDead: In 581 CY, Bigby accompanied Tenser, Drawmij, Jallarzi Sallavarian, Nystul, Otiluke, Otto, and Rary to the tomb of Halmadar the Cruel. Every member of the party died that day, though they were brought back to life later through the agency of clone spells.
* BlueBlood: Bigby is a scion of the Aerdi House Cranden, who were the first Royal House to rule the Great Kingdom of Aerdy.
!!Drawmij

->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
Drawmij is an archmage who is reputed to live in a cavernous underwater fortress beneath the Azure Sea, 150 miles south of Gradsul in Keoland, where he deals with merfolk, whales, dolphins, and many other denizens of the ocean.
----
* CoolBoat: Drawmij possesses a magical metal boat he can pilot underwater.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Drawmij is 63 years old, although he appears to be a young man in his late twenties or early thirties.
* SummonMagic: Drawmij is responsible for developing the commonly known spell ''Drawmij's instant summons''.
* TimeMaster: For the last decade or so, Drawmij has focused on the theories of chronomancy, magic involving the manipulation of time.
* UncannyValley: His features possess an undefinable unsettling quality, and more than a few of those who know him have perceived something subtly different about him each time they meet - the shade of his eyes, his height, even the thickness and curl of his hair. Rary calls these his "troubling inconsistencies".
!!Nystul
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nystul01.png]]
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Wizard
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
Nystul is an archmage and also the most famous native of the Duchy of Tenh. Nystul is intelligent, subtle, and profound, however, with an unerring tactical sense.
----
* BlueBlood: Nystul was born to a family of well-connected nobles in the city of Nevond Nevnend.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: His family was eventually brought low by their better-connected enemies, who charged them with sedition and insurgency in the court of the then-ruling Duke Pet'yeu of Tenh. The nobles in Nystul's house were tried for treason, and the house was disbanded. Nystul was secreted away by servants and raised in a small monastery of Pholtan monks on the border of the Pale, near the Phostwood.
* MasterOfDisguise: He specializes in magic that disguises his appearance. He often travels disguised as a demure half-elven maiden, a form in which he flirts with chivalrous knights and paladins in order to gain their protection.
* PungeonMaster: Nystul is a flippant sort with a preference for puns and quips that tend to annoy his colleagues Mordenkainen, Bigby, and Drawmij.

* InvoluntaryDance: Otto is responsible for developing the commonly known spell ''Otto's Irresistible Dance''.
* SharpDressedMan: He tends to dress in fine, expensive garb.
!!Jallarzi Sallavarian
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jallarzi02.png]]
->'''Race:''' Human
->'''Class:''' Wizard
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulGood
Jallarzi Sallavarian is a powerful human wizard of Greyhawk City and the only female member of the Circle of Eight. Jallarzi lives with her servants and her familiar Edwina in an exquisite tower in Greyhawk's Garden Quarter.
----
* TheAce: Thanks to her training and natural talent, Jallarzi became the youngest wizard ever inducted into Greyhawk's Society of Magi.
* BackFromTheDead: Nearly six months after Jallarzi joined, the group met with tragedy when all its members, save Mordenkainen, were slain by Halmadar the Cruel, a former Shield Lands tyrant under the control of the fabled lich Vecna. Once Vecna's plans were thwarted by adventurers recruited by Mordenkainen, the archmage began reassembling the Circle by cloning its fallen members. By the time the clones had matured and become aware, the Greyhawk Wars were in full swing.
* BalefulPolymorph: In 585 CY, Jallarzi was kidnapped, at the direction of Iggwilv, by Tuerny the Merciless. Tuerny transported Jallarzi to the moon and used dark magic to change her alignment, and gender, transforming her into an entity calling himself "Jay". Both Jallarzi and fellow member and captive Tenser were rescued by adventurers recruited by the Circle, and restored to their former states. Tenser left the Circle at this time, though Jallarzi stayed.
* BlueBlood: She's a member of a minor noble family in the Duchy of Urnst.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: She is nearly always accompanied by her familiar, a red pseudodragon named Edwina.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the first and only woman to join of Circle of Eight.

Warnes was born in Leukish, capital of the Duchy of Urnst, to a merchant family of moderate influence and wealth. The third son of four, he was sent to the city of Seltaren when he came of age, to study magic at the Wizardholme of Urnst. Warnes proved to be quite talented, becoming a well-regarded generalist mage before the age of thirty. He was soon made a junior assistant to the Seer of Urnst, but left the position due to philosophical differences.
