Hello all. I dropped a note down in the forgotten realms software section, but I figured I'd say hi here in the official place as well.
been playing table top for 2 decades, and comp games for a little over 10 years or so. Not sure when I started, but I know my first game was Pools of Radiance.
anyway.. happy to be part of the community and looking forward to raping your minds for all the good info. (yeah I'm really a mindflare in disguise:) )
peace |

| It is going well. The FAQ and Timeline have answered 99% of my generic questions about Faerun and the FR world. Very high praise to those who spent what was obviously thousands of man hours putting those together. |

Well met all.
I have travelled far in the hope somewhere in your archives to find some lore about the lost civilization of Mahasarpa.
(Nice site by the way!)

Why thank you.  Welcome to our little corner of knowledge in an unenlightened world (or so it seems sometimes).
I'm sure that our Head Librarian will be along any moment with your new work to complete -- so quick! Run into the stacks! 
Oh, hi, Alaundo. You looking for that new scribe? I believe he went thataway. ::Bookwyrm points in the opposite direction from where the newcomer had ducked into the shadows.::  |

Hail and well met. I have heard much of Candlekeep and the knowledge held within. I hope I am able to find answers to all my questions here.
(Hi! I'd been to Candlekeep regularly, but this is my first time to the forums so thought I would say hi.)

I come to ye for refuge in this time of need (the FR Novels forum on wizards.COMmunity and I need a place to post).
In short, I'm new here. |

Greetings and Well met, Vedsica.
Welcome to the might halls of Candlekeep, Any tome or bit of wisdom or knowledge ye may require can usually be found in these halls.
*Turns to Alaundo*
Well it looks like my own prophecy may come true, Great Seer. We may very well still yet build a Army of Scribes within this Hallowed Keep. I pray ye are ready for such an influx in the Keep's staff and visitors. Soon, none may challenge the power of Candlekeep! |

Indeed. Tis only fitting that the Seat of Knowledge rule after all. This shall come to pass. Whether Alaundo wants it or not.
Afterall, Netheril was a seat of Knowledge and look how far their own power stretched. Sure they were utterly obliterated... but that's just a small side note. I plan to put Alaundo up as the Next Karsus! Who is with me?!?! |

| Hear Hear! I'd rather have Alaundo than Mystra! |
"Very well, I am admittedly not as traditional in my methodology as you are. So what? The end result is all the same: target ceases to exist. If I happen to use a bit more flair, and a little less stealth to go about it, so be it. If drow were truly meant to skulk within the shadows, we'd not have stark white hair, now would we? Long gone are my days of creeping in the shadows and hiding in wait. Those means are for beings of a cowardly bent. We Bladesingers are risen above such dribble. So saying, it is boldly into the fray I shall go; if I should come to meet my maker, I will at least have done so with a sense of pride and dignity that your ilk will never truly understand. Now go back to hiding in your dark recesses, pathetic mewling...."~Vesz'aun Auvryath |

Well met Ius, welcome to Candlekeep.
Indeed, it would be a pleasure to read your stories and share these tales with other scribes and visitors to the library.
Please contact me once your work is available. Thank ye |

| So, after an absence of some months (well, two), I returned this very morning to my favourite comfy spot for discussing tomes of the Forgotten Realms, and discovered that it was... gone (It's still quite painful to talk about). Anyway, I have found my way here, recognized any number of names, and am looking forward to settling in amongst the books, tomes, grimoires, scrolls, and other sundry sources of accumulated knowledge! |

Enjoy!

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Well met, Alaundo! And to you other Scribes and Loremasters, I say Well Met indeed!
I come from the wet and windy Pacific Northwest, and I'm glad that I have found this repository of knowledge and lore. I chanced upon it while browsing on one of the "other" FR Forums, and I'm glad that I did. I look forward to reading what other scribes have to offer, and hope to be able to contribute thoughts and ideas of my own.
Until next we speak, sweet water and light laughter. |

Well met fellow scribes of Candlekeep.
I am hereby honored to be within these Halls and looking forward to learning more each day.
PS Alundo, I will show you that new tome and ideas that I previously mention, via the wonderful contraption called e-mail, to you very shortly, just a little busy since I have been asked by a certain character to write his biography |
