Rumour has it that a heavily a heavily armoured figure bearing the symbol of Helm on her breastplate had escorted Aurora to the library fortress after an incident at the Friendly Arm Inn where a strange woman wished a piece of separate correspondence passed on to the Guide. That particular parchment was given to Aurora upon arrival at the Keep.

After lodging for the night, the armoured figure was up early the next day and left a rolled scroll in the box for Guide Alexandra Keenan before departing the keep soon after. Apparently she had no intention of disrupting or even visiting the Guide's Jubilee.

[parchment].
On the 28th of the Fading, Year of the Arch 1353 DR word spread along the TradeWay that a caravan had been left in flames by the Lion's Way.

Later that day the Elven mage Sirion appeared in Candlekeep with a stack of twelve books recovered by a patrol of men from the Order of White Knights. He would surrender the books to the first Avowed who would take them along with a message to be delivered to Guide Alexandra Keenan.[/parchment]

"Is that why you are killing them?"
"Yes. They will atone in death."
"Ah. That will help them understand."

The Guide of Candlekeep received Lady Elvina Aira-S'efarro of the Order of the Silver Rose and Sir Drew Latoner of the Everwatch Knights of Helm at her office within the great library. The trio conversed late into the eve before the pair of knights departed from the bastion of knowledge.

The next morning, a courier leaves Candlekeep and makes haste towards a faraway destination - Kraak Helzak.

Tarent Nefzen meets with Guide Alexandra Keenen for nearly 2 full Candlemarks within her office. They discuss many topics, but in the end he has applied to become an Acolyte of the Library. He begins making inquiries as to Avowed, hoping for a chance to meet with some of them to gain two willing to vouch for his application. He wishes to join the Library in order to have a permanent place to practice his craft of brewing potions and crafting arcane wands. He makes it known that he is staying within the keep at Winthorp's Inn until he his initiation has been completed one way or another and any Avowed wishing to meet with and interview him can find him there.

A monk of the Old Order visits Candlekeep and peruses the available shelves. It is obvious that he is looking for books on a specific topic. Perhaps not finding what he is looking for, he leaves a note at the library's message lockbox:
Greetings,

I seek information on the old city known as Myth Drannor, as well as the city known as Silverymoon. I would be grateful for your assistance, and will be staying at the Candlekeep Inn for the time being. Please feel free to contact me there.

With thanks,

-Mi-Le

((Edit:))
Immediately after leaving the message, the Guide of Candlekeep happens to enter the room. The two of them discuss the monk's request before the Guide continues on with her day.

Saul Aurora has taken the donations from the Harvest Festival directly to the farmer community. It was said that a small fortune has been donated and will be divided among the farmers who need it the most. Since Saul has kept a list, that part seemed fairly doable.


Names of the people and organisations/factions/guilds were mentioned on the list, but details of the amount they have donated were left out.

Some among them were :

- Adelaide Van de Saer, in name of the Darius Company
- Ariente Caemar
- Thedran, in name of the Radiant Heart
- Rania Arowaven, in name of the Wolf Moon Foundation
- Ronja
- Alexandra Keenan
- Cosimo Delucca
- Iris
- Saul Aurora
...
..
.


As mentioned on the festival, any donations to Beregost's farmer community are still welcome. People can turn to either Saul Aurora, Guardian of the Morning Song Temple and charity worker of the Foxy Four, or Freya Evans, one of the founding members of the Foxy Four.

This information would be mentioned on a note near the Morning Song, and in a various places. It would also thank the people who have donated and who have attended to celebrate the end of the harvest.

Rumor has it that Candlekeep and various other organisations have taken interest in next year's crops produced by the farmers of Beregost.

//OOC : Thank you for attending with so many! I had a blast. If any have more screenshots, you can either put them down here, or send them to me and I'll add them to this post.//

In the early hours of the day, guards of Candlekeep reported that a ferry crashed against the rocks at the base of the monastery. Guide Alexandra Keenan ordered the research vessel Sea Seeker, which stays moored in the waters, and its supporting skiffs be used in the recovery of people, livestock, and goods bound for the last market of the season in Amn.

It is said that the loss of life and goods was minimal due to the quick actions and response of Candlekeep.

Survivors were heard to mention that some sort of sea creature may have been responsible for the shipwreck.

Mi-Le, a monk of the Old Order, has spent much of the last tenday at Candlekeep's inn. When the inn is quiet, he might be seen sitting there quietly with his eyes closed. Other times, he can be seen taking a walk around the keep's grounds.

He leaves Candlekeep a few times, but returns soon each time.

People who notice his presence there might surmise that he is waiting patiently for something. He seems to be in no rush. Indeed, he seems to be enjoying his time there.

Mi-Le is escorted into the Candlekeep library by a Seeker. The monk carries no writing equipment, but the Seeker brings some with her. After some time, Mi-Le emerges from the library, bows to the Seeker, and departs from Candlekeep. He carries a bundle of notes with him.
