The most well-known of Faerûn's fonts of knowledge is Candlekeep. In your formative years, you found your way to one of Faerûn's great institutes of learning, where you were apprenticed and taught that knowledge is a more valuable treasure than gold or gems. The great library is always in need of workers and attendants, some of whom rise through the ranks to assume roles of greater responsibility and prominence. As one of Candlekeep's own, dedicated to the curatorship of what is likely the most complete body of lore and history in all the world; You relentlessly seek the truth. As a herald of knowledge & detective for hire, uncovering secrets for well-paying clients. Whether the mysteries you're embroiled in are local crimes or realm-spanning conspiracies, you're driven by a personal need to hunt down even the most elusive clues and reveal what others would keep hidden in the shadows. Now you are ready to leave Candlekeep– not to abandon it, but to quest for new lore to add to its storehouse of knowledge.

You're experienced at gaining access to people and places to get the information you need. Through a combination of fast-talking, determination, and official-looking documentation, you can gain access to a place or an individual related to a crime you're investigating. Those who aren't involved in your investigation avoid impeding you or passing along your requests. Additionally, local law enforcement has firm opinions about you, viewing you as either a nuisance or one of their own.
Though others must often endure extensive interviews and significant fees to gain access to even the most common archives in your library, you have free and easy access to the majority of the library, though it might also have repositories of lore that are too valuable, magical, or secret to permit anyone immediate access. You have a working knowledge of your Candlekeep's personnel and bureaucracy, and you know how to navigate those connections with some ease. Additionally, you are likely to gain preferential treatment at other libraries across the Realms, as a professional courtesy shown to a fellow scholar.
