Circle of 8

Supposedly an organization of wizards within the Dweomersecte, the Circle of 8 is believed to be dedicated to the principle of neutral promotion of the arcane arts. That is not believed to be its actual name and wherever it has been found, the stylized 8 always appears to be written on its side.

Stories allege that it was founded by Archmage Balakarde after he was force to agree to the Censure, he was later asked to step down by his fellow council members who believed that he had lost his mind and become obsessive after the death of his sister.

There are only seven current members of the circle: Mordenkainen, Drawmij, Otto, Bigby, Otiluke, Tenser, Nystul, and Rary. Bucknard, a previous member, has vacated his spot. It has not been filled.

motto : Try to slow down.

Once an evil hedge wizard, it is said that Bigby's encounter with the Dweomersecte showed him the error of his ways. While he cannot necessarily be called "good," Bigby is very invested in preserving the balance of good and evil. Since he believes that the amount of evil in the universe outweighs the good, he is often "forced" to side with the good.

He is a member of the Circle of 8.

Bigby has an abiding love for the black wine of Southrun and has opened a thriving import business interest in Westrun which is spreading Bigby's kafe across the Eight Kingdoms.
