There's not much I can add to that, save that there was much rejoycing!

Well met
Thank ye all   Indeed, we are back open once again with no loss of scrolls. A great many hours of sleep were lost and sweating brows all round with myself and my fellow Head scribes. Thank ye all who helped recover Candlekeep from the dark depths of the Abyss (which it did indeed appear to be not so long ago!).
The coffers of Candlekeep are looking very poor due to other services employed to restore the library....however, 'tis all worth it  |

YAY FOR ALAUNDO! Bhaal's slippers it feels good to be back!
All hail the mighty Al and his restorative powers. But they appear to have taken their toll -
As I've said, if you wished to make a donation request, I'd see what I could do to help compensate. For Candlekeep! (I'm patriotic - who knew?) |

Well met
Many thanks for the extremely kind and generous offer, Sarelle. Candlekeep does indeed drain the coffers constantly, but 'tis a pleasure to be able to provide a library of Realmslore for thee all to feel at home in  Of course any such donations are greatfully received to aid in the running of the library... maybe i'll leave a humble brass plate for thy coppers next to the door sometime
....'tis indeed good to be back |

| This is most grand news indeed. I was beginning to worry that Candlekeep may return to the dust from whence it sprang, like so many other settlements and spellschools around the sword coast... Good to see that it is indeed a false thought... |

Hail to you Alaundo for conjuring off a minor miracle in restoring the hallowed halls and libraries of this wonderful place.
I had thought that Tezail the Arch-fiend had managed to over-run the keep while I was away but you can't easily extinguish the torch of learning!
Alaundo, I think your idea of the brass plate for donations to keep this place running and all the hard work you do is a worthy one.
You could take a leaf from a certain horror writers book and have a secure site where people could leave a donation to aid you in your efforts. I for one would be willing to part with a few GP to make sure that this place stays upright for eons to come.

indeed, if something were set up, I'd probably be able to part with a few gold to be able to help with the upkeep of this find place of learning.

Good to see you all back in these hallowed halls and a big thanks to Alaundo. My life was strangely empty for the last couple of days - I'd not realised how "into" this place I'd become.

Well met
Thank ye all once again for the kind words and generous offers.
I cannot stress enough that the lore which thee all provide and thy company herein is what matters and what makes it a pleasure to keep this library running.
I will certainly attempt to obtain a donation plate due to the heavy hit taken lately  Thank ye all. |

Yes! please acquire thy brass donation plate...
Not only would it help you in your maintenance efforts, but it is simply fitting, as I see Candlekeep as the FR-equivalent of PBS...  |

If CandleKeep is the Fr equivalent to PBS, should we have an official appealathon or something to help out Alaundo in his time of need?
I wonder which "guest stars" could be convinced to appear for the benfit?
Suggestions anybody?

I was perusing through when I noticed this and said to myself "Now this is one scroll Alaundo will definitely keep open unless we get off the topic." Where was I...

Makes me think of my big dream of when I win the lottery. I was thinking of hiring a staff of people to go into Ed Greenwood's basement and copy all his records into digital format and organize it in a presentable way (with his permission, of course). I think I could donate a couple of servers to Candlekeep to keep things running. Of course, my state doesn't even have a lottery for me to win, but I still like to dream the dream.

I've thought of that same thing. We do have a lottery down here, but it seems they want the 6 numbers to all be on the same ticket... |

| When I left to visit the mythical country of Wales the gates to the keep were shut and no amount of trying would open them. Now I have returned and found everything is normal, thanks to all for fixing the problem. |
