Wizards Cabal

[Havard]

Yep, agreed and understood. I think the d20 line does both accomodate and react to the DA line and is also very much an attempt to appeal to a certain market, so a lot of content is sales driven. So I don't treat any of it as "cannon" but as source material when not contradictory to the letter or spirit of the FFC Blackmoor. But I know that your harmonizing project has a different goal.

It is true that my end goal is something different, but as a starting point, I consider everything published for Blackmoor as canon. I also put a great value to the stories and memories of Original Players such as Greg. In general all of this trumps any fan material that may exist out there IMO.

Ah, I'll have to reread that WC history. Still, I'm thinking some sort of Cabal or guild should exist from at least the time of Robert I.

A wizard's guild might easily predate the Wizards Cabal. Most likely it would have been something organized out of Thonia with a few members scattered throughout the North.

Generally though, I think your ideas about the Cabal make sense. Might be interesting to see what Dustin's take on it is...

Definately
