The Candlekeep Library is the citadel in the center of Candlekeep in Baldur's Gate. It is comprised of six above ground floors and two levels of catacombs underneath the structure. Access to the interior is denied until Chapter Six. During the Prologue, Imoen and Gorion are found standing near the front entrance.

When Gorion's Ward returns to Candlekeep in chapter six, a few more pieces of the puzzle that comprises the Ward's heritage and possible future will be revealed. Familiar faces are encountered throughout the library's many floors. A stranger gives the Ward a trinket and the willies. A run-in with members of the Iron Throne and Knights of the Shield may not be what the Ward expected and the eventual outcome is definitely not in the plans.
