Candlekeep Inn

Candlekeep Inn is the main hub of visitor activity and commerce in Candlekeep, such as it is. You have lived here all your life, in a little room off the kitchen, eating at the hearth and running errands for the enormous innkeeper, Winthrop. When you enter, a host of familiar sights greets you: Winthrop polishing a glass behind the bar, an elf in robes reclining on a sofa, the flicker of firelight off the clean wood floor.

Side Quests
As you approach the elf you recognize him - a mage from Beregost who has visited several times before over the years. His name is Firebead Elvenhair, and he greets you with a rueful smile.

"So hard to find decent folk nowadays! ''With this iron crisis upon us, the trip from Beregost was more hazardous than I care to relate... You're Gorion's ward, aren't you? My, you have come into your own, if you would permit an old man jealous of youth to say so... Hmm, I left an Identify scroll with Tethtoril, in the inner grounds. He should be done examining it by now, so if you could fetch it for me, I'd be grateful." ''(Journal updated)

Fetch a scroll of Identify from First Reader Tethtoril in the gardens: "Firebead has sent you to me, hasn't he? Very well, return this scroll to him, but then you should hurry and speak with Gorion. He is waiting for you on the steps of the central library. I assure you, child, it is a matter of greatest urgency."

Reward: 50xp, Potion of Cure Light Wounds, Journal updated.
