I simply do not remember what supplement or novel gives some information on Candlekeep.

Can you help me out?

Thanks.

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast for 2e gave the best description I've seen on it. Dragons of Faerun mentioned it as well, at least its ghostly draconic guardian... I think it was Dragons of Faerun anyway.

And of course, there's info on Candlekeep in the 3E FRCS.

"Folks, I present to you the NEW Old Sage... Stigger and Rinonalyrna Fathomlin." ;)

...

'Tis funny, but I would've thought it would take more than two scribes to replace me. :P

Main sources for Candlekeep are Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, Ed's 'Introduction to Candlekeep', the 1993 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, and "Candlekeep: Bringing the Fabled Castle to Life" [from DRAGON #255]. The latter article is based on the treatment in the Baldur's Gate CRPG, which is isn't canonical [though, note that BG novels are], but the information is decent and unlikely to be contradicted in the near future.

Sometimes LK you need to go to THE source. :D

Thank you everyone.

I picked up that issue of Dragon, everything else I have floating around somewhere.

-Good point. Sage, no offense...I'm sure you're a dashing guy and all, but...You know how this kind of stuff works. ;)

Indeed. After marrying the Lady K, I quickly found myself being referred to as... the "ugly one." :D

Not sure I want a Christmas gift from LK anyway, dropping heavy magic off the side of an enclave onto my house is probably not the nest way to celebrate the season.... :D

I'm suprised the Sage didn't mention Ed's 'intro to Candlekeep' hosted over at Candlekeep.com.

Since it is written by Ed, it can be taken as canonical, and is chock full of juicy bits. ;)

Huh, sounds like my Grandfather when he retired from the Army.

Also, lolz, thread is full of Win and Awesome. :D

Errr... You might want to read Reply #5 of this thread again Markus. ;)

Bizarre... I read that twice, and completely missed it?

Either I was very tired, or you pulled a fast one. :P

And I don't look (or act) my age. :P

More than likely, you were just tired. If I had tried to edit that particular post after you'd already noted the absence of that specific tidbit from Ed, 'tis likely the Forums would've recorded it and stated that the post itself had been edited. ;)

There is absolutely nothing 'short' about me, in ANY sense of the word. ;)

If there's anything that can be said about me, its that I have an over-abundance of... attributes. :P

Still... that was weird... I read through the thread, and then double-checked Sage's post before posting my own. It's like my eyes just skipped over the end of that sentence... twice.

I was extremely ill for two days (why I'm still not home, unfortunetly), so I think I was pretty out of it - my typos even hit an all-time high.

Also, since I have not been near a single FR or D&D source for over a week, I'm starting to get the Shakes. :P
