The Company of Seven was an adventuring group whose members all later went on to achieve great fame and power in the world of Oerth. While they were together, the Company of Seven explored many worlds and planes, some of which had never been heard of, before or since.
Several of the company eventually became demigods or hero-deities, and all of the company have spells and magic items named after them.
It is not known when, how, or why the Company of Seven disbanded.
Members
- Zagig Yragerne, a master wizard who joined (some say formed) this adventuring group early in his career.
- Keoghtom, a jack of all trades who mastered magic, hunting, alchemy, and the Old Lore of the bards. Keoghtom was Zagig's closest confidante and the most inventive of the group.
- Murlynd, a paladin of Heironeous and an insatiably curious artificer. His grasp of technology improved immeasurably when he traveled to Boot Hill on an unknown Material Plane world, and acquired his famous pair of revolvers.
- Nolzur, a skilled illusionist and alchemist who applied his magic to his incredible artistic ability, creating pigments and paints that allowed him to perform wonders.
- Quaal, a ranger of Flan descent whose interest in useful spells and magic, as opposed to sheer arcane power, served the company in good stead.
- Heward, an accomplished bard whose mastery of both song and spell allowed him to channel powerful magic and incredible music through his instruments.
