The lair of the Circle gnoll tribe is located on the slopes of Pale Mountain. These slopes host shallow mines and the ruins of collapsed dig cities. The leader of the tribe is the Witch, a human cleric of Rovagug and emissary of the Carrion King. Other notable members of the tribe are the Witch's slavemaster and chief enforcer flind Badilur, the fighter Lakkickkish, and the rogue Purkor.

This tribe was granted by the Carrion King to the mysterious Witch with the secret duty of discovering an ancient unholy amulet, considered to be a powerful weapon. The tribe excavates the ancient ruins near the top of the mountain in search of the amulet.
