The Crimson Circle An ancient order of powerful Elvish wizards, the Crimson Circle vehemently opposed the inclusion of "inferior" beings (that is to say, any that were not entirely of Elvish blood) in the Conclave of Wizardry, and broke away from the great order shortly after the Conclave's formation. Devoted to the pursuit of sorcerous power, the Circle became infamous for its ruthlessness, and its desire to exploit the powers of Chaos and Darkness to achieve its aims. Indeed, a hidden war raged for centuries between the Conclave and the Crimson Circle, and most sages believe that the Circle was wiped out early in the Age of Kings.  Or so the Wise had thought. Now, scattered reports are emerging of wizards wearing the vermillion and purple robes of the Circle working with Elves and fouler things, and the Conclave is uneasy. Though the Circle has been cut off from the Conclave's steady stream of magical innovations for thousands of years, who can say what secrets they may have devised in isolation, or with the help of infernal powers? Others wonder how many of the events of the last thousand years were subtly influenced or directly steered by the Circle working in secret. Why is the Crimson Circle emerging again? What are their goals? One thing seems certain: the Wizards of the Crimson Circle are powerful enchanters, their meekest vestments filled with spells of power and might.
