Archmage of Menzoberranzan

The Archmage of Menzoberranzan was a title for the head of Sorcere in the drow city of Menzoberranzan in the Northdark.

Activities
The Archmage's role was to advise and serve the ruling Council, especially in devising magics for the defense of the city, and to help the inhabitants of the city keep track of time in the lightless Underdark by casting a lingering heat enchantment on Narbondel. This duty, incidentally, kept him tied to the city and under the watchful eye of its priestesses.

Membership
The Archmage was almost always a wizard of House Baenre, who used their influence to ensure that one of their own occupied the position.

Possessions
The Archmage of Menzoberranzan was known to possess a brooch allowing him to cast a lingering heat enchantment, an amulet of perpetual youth, and an ornate, powerfully enchanted piwafwi called the robe of the Archmage of Menzoberranzan.
