So Sayeth the

Wise Alaundo
Elminster Aumar, Chosen of Mystra, invites you to explore
the grandest repository of knowledge in the Forgotten
Realms: Candlekeep, the Library Fortress! The Sage of
Shadowdale has assembled this companion to help seek-
ers of wisdom navigate the Castle of Tomes. Be warned!
Elminster requests that you bring a suitable entrance gift,
lest you be turned away at the front gates.

This book is the definitive DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® guide

to Candlekeep. Dungeon Masters can find a history and

the lore held within. Elminster’s Candlekeep Companion
also includes an adventure for use in Baldur’s Gate:
