26. 0:51Realms lore video discussing candlekeep
27. 0:53which is kind of like the Great Library
28. 0:56of Alexandria - the fire that destroyed
29. 0:58it actually what what the despite the
30. 1:03widespread modern belief that the
31. 1:05Library of Alexandria was burned and
32. 1:06destroyed the library actually declined
33. 1:09gradually over the course of several
34. 1:11centuries well there you go
35. 1:14I learned something today I don't know
36. 1:16this for a fact but I believe candlekeep
37. 1:18was heavily inspired by the Great
38. 1:20Library of Alexandria a few parallels
39. 1:23let's discuss candlekeep isn't really
40. 1:25part of a city it's kind of its own
41. 1:27thing located along the sword coast it
42. 1:29is a towered library fortress that
43. 1:32overlooks the sea of swords filled with
44. 1:34various books and Scrolls of knowledge
45. 1:36it is considered the greatest collection
46. 1:37of writings in faerûn the keepers of
47. 1:39candlekeep
48. 1:40are there to preserve knowledge they
49. 1:42have one absolute rule that they follow
50. 1:44those who destroy knowledge with ink
51. 1:47fire or sword are themselves destroyed
52. 1:50candlekeep was founded in negative 200
53. 1:52dr as a single tower it is unclear if it
54. 1:55started out as a library and many
55. 1:58believe it was founded later as the
56. 1:59citadel of allah window who was a seer
57. 2:02ala window in fact did not found
58. 2:04candlekeep but rather arrived at it in
59. 2:0675 dr to study and donate various
60. 2:09writings it was well before ala endo
61. 2:11came that candlekeep had all
62. 2:13established itself as a great library
63. 2:15candlekeep was built upon volcanic rock
64. 2:18with catacombs beneath the fortress now
65. 2:21why do I mention ala Wando well he
66. 2:24became a famous resident of candlekeep
67. 2:26because of his visions of the future
68. 2:28a Nostradamus of his time he wrote nine
69. 2:30volumes concerning the fate of the
70. 2:32realms ala endo was born in negative 22
71. 2:35dr and died in 76 dr he was the son of a
72. 2:38minor trader from kalam shan and at the
73. 2:40age of 20 started having prophecies
74. 2:42concerning faerun and he started writing
75. 2:45them down upon seeing a vision of his
76. 2:47own impending death he journeyed to
77. 2:49candlekeep to donate his prophecies he
78. 2:52arrived in 75 dr as I mentioned and died
79. 2:54a year later from a plague his
80. 2:56prophecies were a range of well
81. 2:57organized and detailed thoughts -
82. 2:59scribbled notes and margins the monks
83. 3:02who lived in candlekeep were amazed at
84. 3:04the accuracy of his predictions that in
85. 3:0682 dr they detailed the ones that had
86. 3:09not occurred yet a group of thirty monks
87. 3:11have committed every prophecy to memory
88. 3:13and they take part in a never-ending
89. 3:15chant of the unfulfilled prophecies
90. 3:17which has gone uninterrupted to the
91. 3:20present day when a prophecy does come
92. 3:22true they remove it from the chant and
93. 3:24continue a lagoon those prophecies must
94. 3:27be interpreted but when interpreted
95. 3:29correctly they are astoundingly accurate
96. 3:31however hindsight probably aids in their
97. 3:35interpretation more than anything
98. 3:36possibly his most famous prophecy is in
99. 3:39relation to the end of the world
100. 3:41scholars believe the end of faerûn will
101. 3:43occur in 2163 dr and many in larger
102. 3:47cities will recognize the prophecy it's
103. 3:49just well known a common phrase horn of
104. 3:52doom has become an expression for a loud
105. 3:55noise that causes fear when night all is
106. 3:58almost at a close there from the gate
107. 4:00wall shall descend a serpent to blow a
108. 4:03horn of doom at the graveyard kingdom of
109. 4:06man if the star of storms is its
110. 4:09brightest when the dulcet ballad is
111. 4:12played soundest ground shall be torn
112. 4:14asunder the tapestry forever frayed but
113. 4:18if the raging King has failed to keep
114. 4:21his five retainers true tomorrow the
115. 4:24Blessed Sun will rise
116. 4:26and no chaos shall ill ensue entry into
117. 4:31candlekeep is tricky the monks are there
118. 4:33to preserve and protect history lore and
119. 4:36knowledge so not everyone is allowed
120. 4:38entry these monks are called the avowed
121. 4:40although friendly they are suspicious of
122. 4:43all visitors
123. 4:44most of the avout have no magical powers
124. 4:46but a handful of them are lower-level
125. 4:48wizards or clerics following deities of
126. 4:51knowledge
127. 4:52aughh messiahs denier or gand many of
128. 4:54the monks of candlekeep claim to be
129. 4:56nondenominational instead serving the
130. 4:58pursuit and protection of knowledge
131. 5:00there are plenty of forbidden magics and
132. 5:02dark rituals held within the walls of
133. 5:04candle keeper the trick is finding them
134. 5:06for every piece of forbidden knowledge
135. 5:08there are hundreds of recipes or
136. 5:11fictional novels in order to gain
137. 5:12entrance to candle keep you must have a
138. 5:15seal of a recognised powerful mage this
139. 5:17mage acts like a sponsor so to speak and
140. 5:20if the visitor misbehaves it comes back
141. 5:22to that mage thus invitations are given
142. 5:25out to only the trustworthy also a
143. 5:28donation to the library is required from
144. 5:30second edition D&D a donation of a book
145. 5:33no less than 10,000 gold pieces and
146. 5:35value later lore suggests a missing book
147. 5:37from the library is required this fits
148. 5:39with the current law of candlekeep but
149. 5:42the book presented doesn't necessarily
150. 5:43need to be expensive or rare just a bit
151. 5:46of knowledge that isn't in the
152. 5:47repository of candle keep the gates of
153. 5:49Campbell keep are three times the height
154. 5:51of a human and built from a large
155. 5:53strange black metal that repels
156. 5:55lightning and is immune to magical
157. 5:57divinations the latter protects all of
158. 5:59candlekeep from scrying wizards once
159. 6:01admitted visitors are known as seekers
160. 6:04and are allowed a maximum of one ten day
161. 6:07stay within the fortress candlekeep
162. 6:08also offers services for those willing
163. 6:10to pay copying non-magical or books so a
164. 6:13seeker can keep it costs about a hundred
165. 6:15gold pieces but could depend on the size
166. 6:17of the tome magical spell books cost
167. 6:20more and might be priced at thousands of
168. 6:22gold pieces simple spells can cost about
169. 6:25twenty five gold pieces with more
170. 6:27complex spells being a hundred and fifty
171. 6:29gold pieces or higher the sale of books
172. 6:31is largely Kindle keeps the main source
