The last few days? The main Candlekeep site was up, but the Forums wouldn't load.

| The Gremlins. Plus this is an extremely old site. |

Well met
Apologies for the inconvenience. This was down to a surge in bot hits with consumed database connections. These have now been killed, but unfortunately is undertaken by the web host, rather than anything I can do; hence taking a frustrating amount of time.

The Realms are subjected to cataclysmic events like clockwork; why should we be any different? |
Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Earth names in the Realms are more common than you may think. |

Were there ever any Modron invasions in the Realms?
A Great Modron March travelling through Candlekeep would be a sight! Especially since those clumsy, half-mindless things would blindly set off every ward and knock over ever shelf in their path. |

| Seems the gnomes invaded Candlekeep at last. |
Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world... |

One of the hallmarks of the Evil alignments is selfishness. Get ahead even if it means stepping on others, taking what doesn't belong to you, exploiting shared things exclusively for your own gain.
The behaviour of the mage who loosed this golem in the keep is selfishly evil. |
