Message: <blockquote data-quote="Volaran" data-source="post: 36487" data-attributes="member: 592">According to Faiths and Avatars in the entry relating to Denier:"Iron Dragon Mountain, a hidden, legendary peak in the Earthfast mountains, is the site of the Master's Library in Faerun, a complex of many caverns where more books than anywhere else in all the Realms- even Candlekeep, the Library of Curna in the Curna Mountains, and the great libraries of Shou Lung- are stored.  Here can be found the High Librarians, who have samples of all known written tongues and can read them (even dragon writings)."The entry goes on to tell about the High Librarians, the defenses of the Library, and how it is a pilgrimage site for Deneir's faithful.  Also found in Denier's entry are mentions of  the treasured collections of Silverymoon, the artifact museums of Calimshan, Twilight Hall in Berdusk, and special mention of Soaring Spirit, the cathedral in the Snowflake mountains where the Edificant Library used to be as fast becoming the premier center for learning and Denier worship in western Faerun.Oghma's entry also has a few.  The Leaves of Learning temple in Highmoon (Deepingdale), the Tower of Thought in Selgaunt, the Domes of Reason temple in Procampur, the House of Many Tomes fortified abbey in Impiltur, the Font of Knowledge temple in Waterdeep, and the Library of Curna in the Curna Mountain Range (also called the Mountains of Wisdom) in the Shining South.  Curna in specific is said to keep books focusing more on current events, business and naturalistic studies as opposed to Candlekeep who's best strength is its collection of historical books.(Edit)  A few other things occured to me.  There is sort of an adventurer/exploer's society in Suzail in Cormyr that has books (journals, explanation logs, ect)  Going back through much of Cormyr's history and covering a suprisingly large amount of topics and locations.Hope that was helpful.  I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to the number of individual works.  Faerun in a big place, and folks have had written language for a long, long time.</blockquote>
