Candlekeep Mysteries
Standing atop a rocky crag overlooking the Sea of Swords, the massive citadel of Candlekeep has endured the elements for centuries and defied the degradation of time. Visible for miles around, Candlekeep has an eye-catching silhouette: a high wall interspersed with towers. This wall encloses a large space from which more towers rise. Those who behold the edifice say it looks nothing so much as a cake decorated with an overabundance of candles.
A Book of Books
Candlekeep Mysteriesis an anthology of short, mystery-themed adventures written by members of the Dungeons & Dragons community. Each tale begins with a book found in Candlekeep—an enormous library located on the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms setting—but who knows where they may lead.
This book includes at least one adventure for characters of every D&D level from one to sixteen. Easy to run and playable in one to two sessions, they can be enjoyed individually or used as intriguing additions to a longer campaign.
From the fabled Emerald Door to the deepest catacombs, Candlekeep contains wonders for those with the patience to find them.
Great Books Hide Their Secrets Well
Secret staircases, forgotten doorways, soaring shelves—this book provides Dungeon Masters with detailed descriptions of everything there is to explore and discover in the massive library fortress.
Familiarize yourself with every spire and cloistered corner with the included poster map. This foldout map provides full, isometric view of Candlekeep's Inner Ward—from the Great Library to the high-walled citadel known as Exaltation.
It seems silent and still, here in the heart of the forest. But to anyone who knows the forest well, that silence can be misleading. When you are ready to proceed, turn the page.
Seventeen Flavors of Mystery
Investigate mysterious murders, discover a hidden treasure map, or track down the secret behind an eerie rhyme. Every adventure in this book contains its own, unique flavor of mystery—quirky, classic, or even creepy.
While solving a mystery is at the heart of each adventure, they also contain opportunities for exploration, roleplaying, and combat, to appeal to players of all persuasions.
Mystery, Monsters & Magic Items
Candlekeep Mysteries contains a wealth of information about Candlekeep's residents. Meet key members of the Avowed—a legion of scholars and sages who care for the library and the knowledge it holds. Uncover dazzling treasures and powerful magic items. And discover monsters that have never been seen before.
Become an Adventurer
Adventurers come in all shapes and sizes. Find one that’s fun for you.
An elvish cleric, driven from society for trespassing on tradition. A dwarven paladin, atoning for an ignominious past. The Player’s Handbook provides the skeleton for your characters. Flesh them out however you choose.
Join the Party
D&D brings people together and forges new friendships. Silly moments spawn inside jokes and moving battles leave treasured memories. Whether in the heat of battle, embroiled in social intrigue, or solving clever puzzles, your party has your back.
Choose Your Own Path
The woods are growing dark. Behind a mass of ivy, you see the stones of a crumbling castle. What do you do?
In D&D, your options are limitless. The Dungeon Master, as narrator of your tale, can improvise in reaction to any choice you make, so what happens next is entirely flexible. Do you dare go on?

This is a complex dock with small boats, Viking ships, and three story ships. All ships have standard squares on their decks that are suitable for tabletop games. The dock is also suitable for three specifications: high, medium, and short. Of course, there are sentry towers and various residential buildings.See moreCZYY
It's unclear when guards will arrive and, occasionally, unknown monsters' tentacles will emerge from the ground or water. This creates a sense of danger throughout the village, causing panic among its inhabitants. Recently, the guards have noticed an increase in these occurrences. Consequently, the town's mayor has issued an order for the entire town to evacuate temporarily. The human archer and the elven druid have been tasked with transporting two mysterious treasure boxes to a safer location.See more

Long story short, I LOVE this book, because sometimes you want an adventure that you can complete in just a session or two. I think it's great for adolescents and adults, and if you have some extremely intrepid younger kids, you could probably run a few of these with younger kids if they have a little assistance - I think younger kids would love the one with the Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion. The cats and faerie dragons add just the right amount of whimsy that bridge the gap between being silly and cerebral. But there are also plenty of crypts and cultists to keep the more serious and horror loving adult players happy, too.
Most of the included quests have hooks for later plot development if you so choose, which could be useful for developing a story of your own.
As to the modules- they’re fun little one shots. I’ve run one so far and it was good. There’s a few new monster stat blocks that I may use in other settings. It’s overall a bit less combat focused so that’s something to consider.
It guides the players from level 1 through 16. The missions are entertaining and it has easy to follow instructions for the Dungeon Master.
This book is a great option if you're new to Dungeon and Dragons or you want something different to play.
Highly recommended!
There is a large variety between these adventures and I doubt any campaign would want to use them all. But, it seems like just about any campaign would find several of them to be very interesting side adventures. The adventures aren't mysteries in the sense that Sherlock Holmes is going to call everyone into the room and reveal the bad guy at the end. Almost all of them involve stopping evil plots, usually through combat. The mystery part is that most of the adventures start with a strange happening and no clear cause. The players have to do a little bit of investigative work to figure out who or where the bad guys are. Many of them involve travel to interesting settings and the NPC's are pretty well detailed so that a mediocre DM like myself can give them memorable personalities. This book helps provide some depth and variety to my campaign world.
No matter if you're wanting a one shot or a starting place for a longer campaign there are a ton of fun adventures in here to choose from.
And while each adventure is self contained, it's not too hard to come up with a reason for your party to stick around candlekeep if you want to run all of them one after the other.
Top reviews from other countries
Le livre rassemble plusieurs scénarios à jouer tels quels ou à utiliser pour une campagne dans la ville de Candlekeep. Les PNJ sont hauts en couleur et permettent de se connecter à une campagne existante.
The introductory chapters set the stage of Candlekeep with beautiful detail and a massive pull-out map illustrated by Mike Schley is great for both players and dungeon masters alike.
Shorter adventures are perfect for new players testing out the hobby or individuals looking to dip their toes in the realm of dungeon masters.
I think it’s fantastic! Hopefully we get a book like this once a year!
