Reading some Lankhmar and I think Ningauble of the Seven Eyes might quite possibly be my favourite deity ever.

Ich find's nett, dass sich Ed Emshwiller ausgerechnet den Siebenäugigen Ningauble als Motiv für seine Cover-Illustration zu "Adept's Gambit" ausgesucht hat. #FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Fritz Leiber: Sundered from us by the gulfs of time and stranger dimensions is the cup. The mystic incantations of Ningauble intimate that it is neither empty nor full. Sheelba of the Eyeless Face wipes her mouth and makes no remark.

Raymond Chandler: I paid a dime for a coffee and after waiting an hour for my client, there was a nickel left - a cold nickel. Then I remembered there was half a bottle of whisky back at the office. I gave up and went there instead.

I was never a big fan of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser but wasn’t the a Ningauble (or something like that) of the Thousand eyes (the number may vary) who was one of their mentors?
Me - "My clients know me so well!"
Them - "Why? Did they hire you to draw 10 thousand rats in a trench coat or something?"
Me - "... what an oddly specific thing you just suggested. Why would that be your first thought?"

Amusing thought: Leiber’s wizards accidentally summon Elric and Moonglum instead of Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser.
Ningauble: “Are you sure you got the right ones?”
Sheelba: “one’s short with two swords, the other’s tall and has a gloomy disposition, it’s fine.”
Elric: “What is this chaos shit”

Can’t stop thinking on this. Vincent Price as Ningauble of the Seven Eyes (or Edward G Robinson if Vince is booked already)!

Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba of the Eyeless Face are not just all timer wizard names, but the descriptions of Ningauble are some of my favourites. Just a lumpy hood with half a dozen luminous eyeballs bouncing around inside it, making sassy remarks about the cost of potion ingredients.
