== Greyhawk Heavyweights ==
: Compiled by Jeff Stehman & Gregory Bernath (1 Dec. 1997)

Many of them have gone up a bit since ''The Rouges Gallery''. Here’s a list of the most powerful known mages in the world of Greyhawk. I’ve updated that list since your version Jeff, so here it is. I really think I’ve got them all this time.

This is a list of all the 14+ level priests and mages mentioned in TSR Greyhawk material. Levels and spellings listed are those from the most recent reference. Mortals and undead types are included, as well as quasi-deities, but demigods and up are excluded.

* Another lich of unspecified level (a bookkeeper)
* A demi-lich
* A 14th level apprentice (possibly “Ussisemeel”)

In module EX2, Murlynd is listed as an 18th level magic user. This is changed to 12th level magic user/illusionist/paladin in the World of Greyhawk boxed set.

Gwydiesin of the Cranes N(NG), a 30th level bard, has spell casting abilities on par with an archmage (Grandwood/Lone Heath, Aerdy).[21]

The Spectre is an ancient, non-corporeal elf who can cast at 19th level, though he never leaves his house Shroudgate, which moves to various places in the Almorian lands.[21]

The lich Rexifer (level unknown) dwells in Spiral castle in the Darmen lands of Aerdy. His only interest is research on the blood wars.[21]

Prince Benzeden is “an archmage-noble known to revere Boccob” living in Rasfern in the Western lands of Aerdy.[21]

In the Coldwood (Adri Forest), 20 grey elven Sentinels (20+ combined level fighter/mages) guard the keep Bitterness. Darnakurian, a powerful enchanter, remains locked in temporal stasis within.[21]

The imperial palace in Rauxes holds 30 combat mages of levels 7–14. The city of Winetha (of “The Twin Cities”) also contains a large mages’ guild.[21]

The elven Clan Enlanefel at Oakvein in the Welkwood is home to six Loremasters, “each priest/wizards of 12th or higher level in both classes”.[2]

Iggwilv, necromancer and mother of Iuz, is held prisoner in the abyss by the demon lord Graz’zt.[20] [11]

Keraptis is possibly still under White Plume Mountain.[10]

Aceracak the demi-lich rests in his tomb of horrors.[9]

Lyzandred, a thousand year old lich/demi-lich, dwells in his tomb in the Abbor-Alz, testing adventurers with deadly labrynths.[2]

Randallson the Neat, from the Safeton/Wild Coast area, is mentioned in the A1–4 ''Scourge of the Slavelords'' on page 9. His level is suggested as 11 + 2d4.

* 20th level LG lich Saragrimm (91 series, #77)
* 15th level NE Grey Agathena (92 series, #71).

The non-canon module WG10 ''Child’s Play'' has as a pre-generated character Karmyn, a 14th level NG male elf.

The non-canon module WG7 ''Castle Greyhawk'' features Zol Darklock the Shade Prince, f16/m16, N (page 97).

Almost certainly, archmages not specifically named exist on Lendore Isle and in the Baklunish Lands. Other possibilities for mages of level 14+ would be:
* Erelhei-Cinlu (drow)
* Hellfurnaces/Sea of Dust (invoked devastation survivors)
* Keoland, Veluna, Urnst, Dyvers, Celene, Irongate, Sunndi
* Scarlet Brotherhood

;Other entries

Lendore Isle is also said to contain no less than a dozen matriarchs and patriarchs of Sehanine.[2]

TSR trading cards mention:
* 18th level druid Logan {Grandwood Forest} (92 series, #574)

The non-canon module WG10 ''Child’s Play'' has as pregenerated characters Alan of the Sunset (14 Ulaa NG M), and Ateinne (half elf, druid 14 N F).

Other priests not specifically named probably exist in those same places listed for the mages.
