Thankyou! The same team is working with Ed to detail *another* iconic Forgotten Realms location, one that has also been underserviced. I look forward to announcing it!
Brilliant! Thanks and keep us posted.

Dang it!
Okay, so not only did I spring for the separate map before noticing it was included, I just checked my email and found a "Hey, get this new thing for 20%!" notice in there.
That'll teach me not to make purchases in a hurry... |

I am, officially, working from home right now... But I still hopped onto my home computer just to make this purchase. 
(The DM's Guild and associated sites will load on my work computer, but they're painfully slow -- and I can't easily transfer files off of the work computer, due to corporate security policies) |

I'd like at least 24 hours notice if you're going to be showing my room to adventurers. And please don't disturb my quasit, he tends to bite strangers. |

Don't forget Confrontation at Candlekeep adventure. |

You may enjoy this thread which can help you populate Chapter 5. The subject was "Tomes of esoteric lore in Unther"
http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22383
It was basically some musings for titles of books that MIGHT come from Faerunian history. I know people can get punchy when making up stuff like this, so I freely allow you to use anything that I personally came up with in that thread. It might also give you ideas. I won't say its "gold", but I think there's some nuggets there. |

Here's the Blurb:
Elminster’s Candlekeep Companion aims to be the definitive guide to Candlekeep in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fifth edition. Players and Dungeon Masters can use this book to create characters and adventures relating to Candlekeep and the knowledge it contains.
Chapter 1 provides new character options for creating Candlekeep-inspired characters.
Chapter 2 presents a general overview of Candlekeep, such as requirements for entry, major locations, and the monastic order known as the Avowed.
Chapter 3 includes an in-depth look at the Great Library of Candlekeep, its rules, and the books contained therein.
Chapter 4 details ideas for creating Candlekeep adventures. It also includes an adventure by M.T. Black, for use in Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus.
Chapter 5 contains new magic items and spells found in Candlekeep and its vaults, including magical books, tomes, and grimoires.
Chapter 6 provides new monsters and NPCs, such as bookworms and Mirrym, the Sentinel Wyrm. |

Just wondering, what might this entail? Are we going to see something like a long list of book names that are in the Keep with details about how that book might help you? Or more of a map and NPC compilation? Maybe some rules on how to use the Keep to improve research on something in a 5e campaign? Details on Keep defenses? New spellbooks like what was done in the 1e gray box with new spells listed? New class options for someone involved in some way with Candlekeep? |
