    I can only imagine how efficient Candlekeep's card catalogue is for them to be able to have even a hope of fulfilling the 'bring a book we don't already have' tradition. Having worked at a library I can personally attest how hard it is to audit the stacks even with a regular schedule.
    It's probably magic, a set of tomes that auto-catalogue every bit of writing that enters or exits a tower.

    Story time:
    My first character I ever played was a Gnome Bard named Gerebo the Clumsy (I had rolled a 5 and put it in dex, but had a decent amount in the other stats). He was a librarian of a small town, and the BBEG burned down his library. He spent the entire campaign gathering new books and his big goal was to start a new library to help keep knowledge alive and available. The DM ended up doing a 10 year time keep, and then decided to roll percentiles to see how much of the land’s knowledge I had gathered. I got 97%. Unfortunately that game stopped a few sessions later, but I have always kept Gerebo and his Library alive over the years. The safety protocols of Candlekeep are eerily familiar to what I have in my library. The only major difference is the city that expanded next to the library is not locked to those without knowledge, but rather built into a mecha of adventures due to the library always looking for more knowledge and updated copies of books and scrolls.
    To find that this place I have built over the years has a Forgotten Realms counterpart is both really exciting, but disheartening because it has so many better security protocols and safety measures than Gerebo’s Tower.

      The Jansen family owns a tome of great value that consists of a collection lesser tomes spanning 101 volumes concerning the fact, not fiction, of Candle Keep being a proverbial palace of a fortified gate concerning the upper, under & lower dark as well as the world above from hemisphere to hemisphere......& beyond.
      The Time of Troubles was a horror for far more than Abeir-Toril. According to Jan Jansen Araushnee The Spider Queen Lolth is at the center of it all since time before reckoning.
      Solinari, Nuitari & Lunitari agree.

    Have you guys just given up on fixing the Psionic Spell casting from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Aberrant Mind subclass? There is still no way to swap out Psionic spells on level up even though the subclass should level up. New features and options are great but existing features should work the way they are intended. Allowing people to just edit their known spells directly would be enough to fix the issue for the Aberrant Mind, Clockwork Soul, and all other classes/subclasses with similar features.

    Short form content could more easily lend itself to better functional design, but I’m not that hopeful it will be better other than as an slight incidental byproduct. Until there is a fundamental shift in the woeful functional design of their adventure books, I’m not remotely interested in running Wotc 5e content.

    A more accurate place for Candlekeep in Eberron is the Library of Korranberg. "The Library of Korranberg is the single greatest repository of knowledge on the continent". SMH. It's so annoying when the company (WOTC) owns the world and can't do a basic search for its own intellectual property for marketing its book.
