Ok. I am making a module set right here in candlekeep just for this site (See compter games forum). I would like to ask for a few things:
I need some maps of candlekeep and srounding areas. I also need some info on the history of the keep and the like. Thanks.

I don't think there are any maps of Candlekeep, though I'd have to check my Interactive Atlas to be sure.

I also don't know of any sources that discuss Candlekeep's history. I do know, however, of Ed's wonderful An Introduction to Candlekeep.

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast is the only other main source.

The Dragon is #255.

Edit: Sorry, I was wrong, that's one of the two Volo guides not freely downloadable from Wizards. You will have to pay for a download or try your luck at amazon.

Nope. None of the following Volo's Guides are available for free from the Wizards downloads page:
Volo's Guide to Waterdeep
Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast
Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II.

The first two are available from Paizo, but I don't believe the latter is available as a pdf from any source.

Candlekeep also receives some attention in the 1e and 2e FR boxed sets.

Aye... VGtBGII isn't available as a PDF, though nobleknight.com and dragontrove.com offer printed copies for relatively low prices in $US.
