Well met

Aye, a splendid set of volumes of lore. Work had commenced for Volume X, but as The Sage stated, various reasons halted it's production.

However... I am unlocking the door, blowing off the dust and looking at recommencing this as part of Candlekeep v2. After recent discussions and work picking up again, watch this space...Candlekeep will be changing, mark my words

CKCX. It is about time.

Love is a lie. Only hate endures. Light is blinding. Only in darkness do we see clearly.

"Oh, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but.. blinding. The shadows betray you because they belong to me." - Bane The Dark Knight Rises

Aye, Alisttair. Once i've cleared a few things up regarding our standing with the Compendium, and secured a few things, then i'll be in touch and reinstate the Compendium chamber for the scribes involved

any chance of a new issue?

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-J.R.R. Tolkien

Well met

Aye, it's possible, silverwolfer However, I'd say the most we would go to would be to download a year's volumes (i.e. four) in one file. I'll look into flagging required volumes as part of Candlekeep v2.0 however...it would actually be quite useful overall to select individual articles and downloads throughout the site.

I was wondering a few things about the candlekeep compendium.

Firstly will there be another one.

Secondly can anyone submit articles for the compendium

Thirdly, if anyone can submit articles are there any rules about submission such as a specific font, format, layout, areas of interest, areas to avoid, editions/era specific lore.

I was only wondering because I love this site and the compendium was one of the things I looked forward to each year, and if there is anything I can do to help speed things along I will gladly offer my services.

Plus I have a few ideas for articles that would make my decade if they ever found their way into a future compendium.

Well met, dazzlerdal

Indeed, the Candlekeep Compendium will make a return and hopefully gather momentum again.

Generally, the staff of the Compendium produce regular articles for each volume, but we do have new members of submissions. Feel free to email me with your ideas or submission.

The format/font etc. matters not, as the editors address this aspect. As to editions/locations etc, we sometimes have a theme and initial round of suggestions and approvals, but so long as it's Forgotten Realms, then you can't go far wrong!

Well i was thinking of submitting an article on one or more of the evil humanoid races of the realms (i realise i would probably be stepping on many peoples toes as it's their favoured subject but a collaborative effort would be a good thing i think if anyone is interested), dealing with possible origins, history, personality, society etc.

For instance mountain orcs or hobgoblins, and then focus on the differences between say mountain orcs in the spine of the world and mountain orcs in Thar.

I'm just a bit unsure as to how much it has to be canon. If i phrased the non canon bits as speculation or sagely investigations (which could then be due to the unreliable narrator) would that be okay?

One of my personal faves among Compendium articles was the introduction and description of an entirely new subrace of gnolls. The article started with a bit of canon, and then spun an entirely non-canon but quite nifty race out of that.

Hi there!

I just want to say I truly enjoyed reading the compendiums.

I'm also interested in the idea of new ones being created. I have one question though, would it still be for 3rd edition or would it be for 4th?

Thanks again!

Mark

Thank you for all the hard work that went into creating these compendiums. I am hoping that the release of 5th edition will create a resurgence of fan writing like this.

The Candlekeep Compendium is complete for now. Nothing more is currently planned although a volume was in progress a number of years ago before being parked.

It may well return in the future but nothing is scheduled at the moment.
