The Candlekeep Catacombs are three levels of dangerous dungeons located below the Candlekeep Library. The only way to access this area is during Chapter Six when Tethtoril teleports the party here after their incarceration for the deaths of Rieltar and Brunos. The first level contains the actual ancient crypts, the second level consists of an open central plaza, surrounded and bisected by columns, with separate small rooms on either side along with a corridor that contains more rooms and the third level is a series of caves.

Background[]
What was once a peaceful resting place for the fallen of Candlekeep, has now been overrun with dangerous creatures. The crypts have been sealed off from the public with powerful wards and few have the means to access the area.
Creatures[]
Companions[]
- Arkanis
- Deder
- They are both located together on level 2 and will follow and help the party fight any monsters or enemies encountered on both crypt levels and on the cave level, however they never truly join the party.

Note: All other NPC's encountered on levels 1 & 2 turn out to be doppelgangers.
