Festy Dog, the Harpers at Twilight Hall (PL 4), the Heralds (PL 5), and Candlekeep (PL 14) are all offering to be your Sponsors.
Candlekeep is the major historical center of Faerun (the Faerunian equivalent of the Library of Alexandria.)
The Heralds have as their ancient mandate the preservation of knowledge.
The Harpers at Twilight Hall have always been the working arm of the Heralds (in a sense, at least.)
Since the Chosen have decided to help Kalanyr, and the Church of Mystra has also thrown it's support to him, Candlekeep and the others think the time for The Awakening has come.
The Awakening. The recitation of the true Faerunian history, to all the peoples and nations, so that the mistakes of history are not repeated, and there is enlightenment and understanding where currently ignorance reigns.
There are a number of countries that do NOT appreciate this dissemination of historical fact.
Halruaa. The Shade. Mulhorand. Calimshan. Many of these people have a dark past, and others consider their history to be a military secret (read: secret, to be KEPT secret.)
And, they do not like your character, or his publishers, and they are considering what to do with the person who would spill their secrets to the world so blithely ... and what they have in mind is not so pretty.

Janos, in his tower in the vast grassland that is the Shaar stares outside. The study, that took him years and years to complete, almost done.
He sighs, and bows himself over the tome that holds his study one final time. His magically enhanced quill racing over the page. Each sentence, each letter bringing him closer to completion. The work that will make him famous throughout Faerun. And thus, as Mystra and Her Chosen remain unaware of the danger the Dark Counterpart poses, Her power will continue to grow, Her influence will continue to spread, first in the dark and the shadow, but one day in the open, and unless stopped, She, not Mystra, will one day have absolute command over Magic throughout the world.
When the last period appears under his quill, he smiles. His job is done. He closes the tome and on the front on the black background, in purlple letters, it says: The Weave: Light and Dark and their Interaction. A study on the workings of Magic.
Now, to get it published...
[edit]The book is a study. It deals with facts. It is not biased to the Shadow Weave or the Normal Weave.[/edit]

Janos, a number of nations and peoples would be willing to sponsor the publishing of this book.
House Karanok (PL 1) likes killing wizards, and they would support you.
The Kir-Lanans (PL 2), who are opposed to all the dieties, would support you.
Chessenta (PL 4), is sympathetic to House Karanok, and might support you if House Karanok does.
Evermeet (PL 15), which has always argued it is the elven dieties who support magic in the Realms, would sponsor your books.
Evereska (PL 3), would follow suit.
The Eldreth Veluuthra (PL 1), elves who desire the extermination of the other races, would help you, since they wish to see Mystra and Shar taken down a couple of pegs.
Interestingly, Dambrath (PL 13) is interested in publishing your book. (They hate neighboring Halruaa, see ...)
Other nations seem afraid to help you. This book, with it's factual information, is simply too explosive.
The clergy of Mystra and Chosen of Mystra aren't going to support a book that assert the possible fall of Mystra.
The clergy of Shar and nations where Shar is strong will not support any book that presents Mystra as Shar's equal (much less, as Shar's superior.)
The gnomes of Lantan (PL 3) are willing to publish your book, and the Church of Gond (PL 3) would also support you. They don't seem to care about the dangerous nature of this book.

Kalanyr, your Sponsors will not support the publishing of Janos's book.
They are all for dissemination of knowledge: that is Mystra's creed.
They will not support a book that asserts that Shar might eventually take over the world ... they believe such a book would enhearten the Church of Shar and their other enemies, and that is the last thing they want. (Even if the book, is telling the truth. There can be too much truth, say your Sponsors.)

Ah I interpreted Janos's book as being an explanation of the existence of the Shadow Weave. If its not then I'm gonna publish one that is and warns people against it. ie Spill Shar's secret weave and discourage use of it, warn people of the powers shadow weave casters have and the price they pay etc.

[Hm, Wizard Haters, Drow or 'normal people', that's a really tough choise 
]
I accept Evermeet as my sponsor.
[Explanation of information in my books: It describes the Normal Weave. Then proves the excistence of the Shadow Weave. Then proceeds with describing how certain spells affect the Weave and the Shadow Weave (for example, how to destroy a part of the Weave, or how to destroy a part of the Shadow Weave)]

Evermeet (PL 15) agrees heartily to be your Sponsor, Janos.
The elves have their own beliefs on the Pantheon of Dieties and how it works, in Realmspace ... and in their beliefs Sehanine Moonbow is the essence of magic, not Mystra or Shar.
The elves do not feel intimidated by Mystra or Shar, thus.
The elves of Evermeet are not friendly to humans (these are the FR setting elves, remember, not the elves who aligned with the humanoids in the other IRs!) and they believe this book will cause chaos and trouble amongst their human enemies. If that happens, they can always take advantage of such chaos to advance their own cause.
Also, the elves feel the book will cause the wise to seek the greater truth of magic, which they see in Sehanine, and to reject the distorted theories concerning Mystra and Shar.

William, your books on peace and tolerance have garnered you some additional support. The Church of Eilistraee (PL 3) and the Church of Eldath (Lady of the Singing Waters, Lady of Peace) (PL 3) are contacting your character and offering their support and protection. You thus have two new Sponsors.
