This is a work in progress.
Magic is the source of all. Without magic, the world becomes bleak and dead. The highest purpose possible is the spreading of magic.
Background: The Sons of Boccob exist to further magic, and do this by spreading magical knowledge, services and wares. Seeing magic as a benefit in and of itself, they care not how it is used. They will trade with anyone and provide services to everyone.
Members: Mostly wizards, academic warlocks, clerics of Boccob, and purveyors of magic items. The sons use light blue as their color and a blue rod or crystal as a symbol. The Mecanes of Mechanus are the secret masters of the affiliation; the network of magic item trade is ultimately controlled from there.
Services: All magical items.
Scale: 18 (Planar)
