This spell instantly transports your target(s) to a designated destination. Interplanar travel is not possible. Each target must be a medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent per three caster levels. A large creature counts as two medium creatures, a huge creature counts as two large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another. Only objects held or in use (attended) by another person receive saving throws and spell resistance.
 
You must have some clear idea of the location and layout of the destination or a reliable description of the place to which you are teleporting your targets. If you attempt to teleport with insufficient information (or with misleading information), they disappear and simply reappear in their original location.

Jallarzi Sallavarian (pronounced /juh-LAR-zee sal-uh-VAIR-ee-en/ ){csb|DMG2024|358|Appendix A: Lore Glossary}} is a powerful human spellcaster who lives in Greyhawk City and is the only female member of the Circle of Eight. She is nearly always accompanied by her familiar, a red pseudodragon named Edwina. Jallarzi lives with her servants and Edwina in an exquisite tower in Greyhawk's Garden Quarter.

Description

Jallarzi and Edwina c. 591 CY, depicted in LGJ #0 (2000). Art by Sam Wood.

Jallarzi is an attractive woman in her mid-forties (in the 590s CY). She stands 5' 7", and her fair skin and curly honey-blonde hair exemplify her Suel heritage. She prefers comfortable clothes of silk or satin, often wearing fashionable breeches (but is also seen in skirts). Her outfits are often complemented by a pair of bracers of red dragon hide, set with bloodstones and bound with platinum filagree.

Abilities

Throughout the editions, Jallarzi has been detailed using various levels—a Mage 14,[3] Wizard 15[4], and Wizard 13/Archmage 2.

In fifth edition, Jallarzi is described as a "celestial patron warlock",[5][6][7] though details of who her patron is, or what their pact is, are not provided.

Home

Jallarzi keeps at stately home in Greyhawk's Garden Quarter.

Activities

Jallarzi "enjoys wandering the Free City of Greyhawk in disguise, monitoring sinister elements of society there."[5]

Relationships

Marial (CG female human Wiz12) is a close personal friend and follower of Jallarzi. She is a Greyhawker, through and through. Native to the city, the pair met when Jallarzi approached her for advice about some of the darker sides of the City of Greyhawk.[8]

Jallarzi has been romantically linked to Kieren Jalucian, and is a close friend of Tenser.

Lady Xenia Sallavarian, fiancé of King Lynwerd of Nyrond, is one of Jallarzi's distant cousins.

She is also distant cousins with Duke Karll Lorinar.[9]

History

Jallarzi was born in 549 CY[4] into a minor noble family in the Duchy of Urnst. In her teen years, she studied magic under both the Seer of Urnst and Warnes Starcoat.

Jallarzi, in From the Ashes and Vecna Lives!, p87, art by Ken Frank.

Sometime in the 570s CY, Jallarzi made her way to Greyhawk, where she studied under, and became good friends with, Tenser the archmage. Thanks to her training and natural talent, Jallarzi soon became the youngest wizard ever inducted into Greyhawk's Society of Magi. At some point during this period, Jallarzi became fast friends with another female mage, a native of Greyhawk named Marial, and also began a romantic relationship with Kieren Jalucian, master of Greyhawk's Guild of Wizardry.

In 581 CY, thanks to heavy lobbying by Tenser, Jallarzi became the youngest, and first female member of Circle of Eight, filling the seat left empty by Bucknard two years before. That same year, during the last week of her probationary period, Jallarzi, Tenser, and all the other members of the Circle save Mordenkainen were slain by Halmadar the Cruel, possessor of the Hand and Eye of Vecna, in the Kron Hills. Halmadar was under the control of Vecna himself, who sought to increase his divine power.

Once Vecna's plans were thwarted by adventurers recruited by Mordenkainen, the archmage began reassembling the Circle by cloning its fallen members. By the time the clones had matured and become aware, the Greyhawk Wars were in full swing.

At the end of the Great War in 584 CY, the Circle was sundered once more, when Rary's treachery resulted in the deaths of Tenser and Otiluke, as well as the destruction of all their clones, save one Tenser had hidden on the moon. In Goodmonth 585, Jallarzi was kidnapped, at the direction of Iggwilv, by Tuerny the Merciless, in a plot to create a distraction which would draw the Circle away from Iggwilv's true plan--to invade Oerth via a gate between Tenser's Fortress of Unknown Depths and an old lair of Iggwilv's on Luna. Tenser's clone on Luna had by this time matured, though it was discovered by Tuerny and transformed into a dretch. Tuerny had transported Jallarzi to the moon by this time, using dark magic to change her alignment, and gender, transforming her into an entity calling himself "Jay." Both Jallarzi and Tenser were rescued by adventurers recruited by the Circle, and restored to their former states. Tenser left the Circle at this time, though Jallarzi stayed.

Publishing history

Spells

  • Jallarzi's Storm of Radiance—This fifth level evocation spell "unleashes a storm of flashing light and raging thunder", deafening and blinding those within it.[10] It is compared to being inside a tornado.[11]

In Living Greyhawk

  • Jallarzi's Teleportation—This seventh level spell acts like "greater teleport,[12] save that the caster need not travel with the recipients."[13][note 1]

References

Notes

  1. ↑ Jallarzi's teleoprtation is similar to the officially published spell, Trobriand's baleful teleport.[14] However, the distinction between Trobriand's baleful teleport and Jallarzi's is that Trobriand's is based on teleport instead of greater teleport. As a 6th-level spell, it falls between teleport (5th) and greater teleoprt (7th).[15]
