I'm working on a few ideas for new wizard and sorcerer groups in the Lands of Intrigue and surrounding area (Calimshan, Lake of Steam, Vilhon Reach and the Western Heartlands), and I'm interested in knowing whether the region has any in official or semi-official lore.
At the moment the only ones I can think of are the Cowled Wizards, the church of Azuth, and the Monks of the Darkmoon (Shar's order of Monk/Sorcerers), but I'm sure there are others, even if they're only given a brief name check.
For the record, the new groups I'm currently working on include:
- The Brotherhood of Loss, a cult of shadow weave users associated with the Dark Embrace (the temple of Shar in southern Amn).
- The Royal Academy of Wizards, a newly formed school in Tethyr.
- The Circle of Fear, a small group of Banite wizards and sorcerers based in Kzelter.

You'll want the Lands of Intrigue boxed set available for free download at WotC:- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads
Additionally, Steven Schend's Empires of the Shining Sea provides some great material on Calimshan, as does the Calimport sourcebook (also available for free download at the URL I linked to above). The Lake of Steam is also covered within these tomes as well.
The Vilhon Reach has a sourcebook of its own -- and is available for download on at WotC as well (see the URL above).
The Western Heartlands are somewhat covered in Elminster's Ecologies and the two Appendix tomes also released (and again, available for free download at WotC -- see the link above).

I should probably have mentioned it, but I already have both those tomes, plus most others that are relevant, e.g. Cloak & Dagger and Lords of Darkness. What I'm wonder is if I've overlooked anyone(very easy to do if they're only mentioned in f.ex a single sentence ;)).
I didn't know about the compilation of Steven's replies though, so thanks for that - I'll check it out when I get home this evening :).
EDIT: I can confirm that I've missed at least one - the Mystic's Academy in Erlkazar, where a certain Zallanora Argentresses completed an apprenticeship. |

The Brothers Kolat of Waterdeep (2nd Ed City of Splendors box) also graduated from the Mystics' Academy and taught there a short time. Yet another graduate of that school is a secondary character in the upcoming BLACKSTAFF.....  |
