I need some quick input for something I'm working on. I need a canon reference or your best educated guess as to the heraldic symbol for the Circle of Eight, or better yet, the Citadel of Eight.

While I'm pondering this, does Mordenkainen have a device? Tenser does after all.

This is fun too because Mordenkainen is rumored to be of House Cranden, so the purple is not merely hubris ...

I remember Gary posting a description of the Citadel of Eight's heraldry on Rob Kuntz's old Yuku site (pardon my lack of correct heraldic terminology):

Backgroud: White
Central Symbol: A black circle with the number 8, also in black) in the center of it.

Apparently, the intention was to have the citadel's symbol represent an 8-ball. Likely an inside Joke from Gary to his players...

Smile

I've actually run this one up for my personal heraldry collection. If you want a copy, let me know.

No thanks Braggi. I'm pretty sire a numerical heraldic symbol is best left to EGG's own game.
