Candlekeep, perched atop a coastal bluff south of Baldur’s Gate, stands as Faerûn’s most revered repository of knowledge. Enclosed by towering, cyclopean walls and sealed behind its famous emerald gates, the fortress-library admits only those who offer a tome not yet held within—ensuring its ever-growing, meticulously curated collection. Within, sages, monks, and mages devote their lives to study, their candlelit chambers and vaulted reading halls echoing with hushed inquiry and arcane debate. More than mere sanctuary, Candlekeep is a crucible of mystery. Seventeen magical volumes hidden among its collection open doorways—both literal and figurative—into extraplanar realms, ancient conflicts, and lost truths, beckoning adventurers of every tier. Though serene in appearance, the library holds its share of peril, from cursed texts to long-buried evils that stir in the shadows. In Candlekeep, knowledge is power, but also danger, and those who seek it must tread with reverence & curiosity.

Rising above sea-swept cliffs, Candlekeep’s massive stone walls gleam in the coastal sun, its towers crowned with spires like candle flames. Quiet courtyards lead to arched halls heavy with tomes and incense, where robed figures glide past glowing glyphs. The ocean crashes below, echoing against this stoic fortress of thought and hidden wonder.
