'''Kieren Jalucian''' is the guildmaster of the [[Guild of Wizardry]] and principal of [[University of Magical Arts]] in the [[Free City of Greyhawk]]. 

==Description==
Kieren Jalucian's age is unknown, though he is said to be "very old indeed" and is "certainly more than 100 years old."<ref name=DOoG /> Physically he appears to be in his late thirties,<ref name=DOoG /> standing 6'3" tall with a mane of sandy blond hair. He weighs two hundred pounds, much of it well-toned muscle, and dresses in colorful silken robes of [[Celene (realm)|Celenian]] make that billow in the wind as he walks. He takes a light-hearted approach to his work, though this belies the seriousness of his motives. He is approachable and popular among the common people of the city. 

==Relationships==
Kieren is enamored of [[Jallarzi Sallavarian]], and the two can often be found flying, dining, or adventuring together. Jallarzi will endulge Kieren when he shows off his arm-wrestling prowess. He is a member of the [[Directing Oligarchy]], but refuses to get involved in its petty rivalries, remaining more amused by his fellow Oligarchs' antics than anything else. 

Kieren has little patience with the openly evil members of the University of Magical Arts faculty. 

After the deaths of [[Otiluke]] and [[Tenser]], Kieren was invited to join the [[Circle of Eight]] but refused due to his duties as master of the [[Guild of Wizardry]].{{cite lgj|5|6}}

==Home==
Kieren keeps personal rooms at the apex of the university's pyramid.

==History==
Before putting down roots in Greyhawk City, Kieren adventured extensively throughout the [[Flanaess]] and beyond, accumulating much of his power during those travels. He took careful notes of his journeys, although most of his journals were supposedly destroyed in the [[Hellfurnaces]] in 561 [[Common Year|CY]]. In 564 CY, however, one of these journals, called simply ''Kieren's Journal'' by its discoverer, turned up in the possession of [[Lashton]] of [[Keoland]]. Kieren was briefly named president of Greyhawk's [[Society of Magi]] in 584 CY. 

In "City of Greyhawk—Clerkburg (part 2)", ''[[Living Greyhawk Journal|LGJ]]'' #5, [[Erik Mona]] and [[Denis Tetreault]] wrote that Jalucian had relinquished his leadership position.  however, this storyline was not followed in the continuity in later material.
{{quoted text|Kieren was invited to join [the august order, the [[Circle of Eight]],] after the destruction of [[Otiluke]] and [[Tenser]], but that he refused due to his duties as master of the Guild of Wizardry (on top of his position with the [[University of Magical Arts|university]]). Now that '''''he has passed on his role in the guild to another''''', it may only be a matter of time before he opts to join [[Bigby]], [[Otto]], and the others.  That is,  if [[Mordenkainen]], who has openly derided Jalucian as a “hopeless idealist,” will have him.|{{cite lgj|5|6}} }}<small>''Emphasis added for clarity.</small>
His successor was unnamed, and no further details were given. 

The only content after this [[LGJ]] issue to discuss Jalucian was a single web-article, which did not follow this story element.<ref name=DOoG />  It is unknown if this detail was intentionally avoided, or if the detail was missed in research.
