The Eight

The Eight is the circle of archmagi who oversee the eight wellsprings in Winderia and the eight associated city-states. Each archmage is devoted to a different arcane tradition and wields one of the Staffs of Mystra, powerful artifacts bestowed upon wizards by the Goddess when she deems them worthy of a position among the Eight. The members make their homes in the eight great spires, each named for its capstone.
Mystra places no racial requirement on any of the Eight, but some of the roles are more commonly or exclusively filled by certain ethnicities simply through proclivity toward the tradition (e.g., the Diviner has always been a high elf, the Evoker has almost always been human, the Illusionist is most often a gnome, etc.).
The current members are:
Berrian Voris, Abjurer
Geth Windrivver , Conjurer
Galatea Laelithar , Diviner
Kara Amakiir , Enchanter
Darian Orlus, Evoker
Gimble Timbers, Illusionist
Tessa, Necromancer
Lureene Greycastle, Transmuter

The Midnight Mountain Incident

Immediately following the Midnight Mountain Incident, all eight members were rumored to have disappeared. The best intel collected by the Party supports this belief, though their exact fates remain unclear.
