Well, just one primary one:

Aside from the 3rd Ed. FRCS book and Volo's Guide to the Dalelands, just what books ans sources contain any information about this place? I mean on the level of the detailing done for the Abbey of the Sword in Faiths & Pantheons and the Leaves of Learning in a Wizards free download?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the link, Vangelor.

The Abbey is also mentioned, albeit in passing, as offering its support to Chauntean interests as far away as Voonlar, in articles Ed wrote on that town that appear on the Wizards of the Coast website. So they do have and exert considerable political and social influence in the region.

I'd look at this as an opportunity... to fashion some of your own well-researched Realmslore for the Abbey!

Rats, I was hoping for some rough ideas on just how big the place was, and what sort of defenses it has (I would imagine they have at least a few Paladins of the Chauntean order around), and some idea on how many priests and such available.

I had an idea for a 'contest' being played out by some servants of the various Gods of Fury and Talona, in which they started competing to see who could destroy the Abbey or do it the most damage. It sounds to me like the kind of thing that Malarites, Talassans, Talontar, and the followers of Auril and Umberlee (though the latter would be difficult to work in!) might do when they got into an argument of the "Who's god is greater?" variety.

Aside from some brief tidbits in Rich Baker's 2e The Dalelands supplement, that's pretty much it. VGttD remains the more detailed source on the Abbey.
