Candlekeep - The Way of the Lion travels down a sea-sprayed isthmus to a rocky crag overlooking the Sea of Swords. Here the massive citadel of Candlekeep has endured the elements for centuries and defied the degradations of time. Visible for miles around, Candlekeep has an eye-catching silhouette: a high wall interspersed with towers. Those who behold this edifice say it looks like nothing so much as a cake decorated with an overabundance of candles.
The Court of Air - Upon paying the required entrance fee of a work of writing not already contained in the library, a newly arrived Seeker enters through the enormous double gates - three times the height of a human and wrought of black metal emblazoned with the sigil of Candlekeep. They find themselves in an wide courtyard that has nary a tree nor a well cluttering its cobblestone expanse.
Most Seekers are never allowed to cross through the Emerald Door into the library proper. Instead, they rely on Avowed adjutant guides who fetch their books for them. They may peruse their research in the Pillars of Pedagogy - a series of towers of varying heights on the north side of the court. Alternately, they may cross to the south side of the court, where they may engage in lively debate at the Hearth - a deceptively modest-looking tavern that is three times as large on the inside as it is on the outside. Or they can quietly contemplate at the Temple of Oghma; sleep or read quietly at the House of Rest; or take their leisure in the pools and saunas of the Bath and Steam House.
This is where you will find the Seekers, who are detailed below:
