Hello Everyone,
I'm running a game currently set in Faerun/Sword Coast, and the players have reason to seek out and enter the Candlekeep. I tried looking around for rare books which the players could seek out to gain entry, but couldn't find much.
I could use some help coming up with rare books the party can seek out, who might be in possession of these books, and how the players could come to get these books for themselves. I'd like to have multiple they could go after as they make their way from Nightstone towards Baldur's Gate/Candlekeep. The party just became 4th level, so I don't want to throw in some of the magical tomes mentioned in the DMG.
Example I've been considering:
Famed Halfling author Paedraic Rootfuss, after many years is releasing his new book in Waterdeep. Rival Half Orc author Grubash R. R. Mhurren doesn't want to be shown up, as his long awaited book remains unfinished, and requests the party to steal Paedric's original writing and destroy the copies ready to sell. Being the only copy remaining, the book's value skyrockets, and would be a piece not already in the Candlekeep.
I look forward to the book titles and backstories!! Thank you for the help!
