[ Because so many of the other players and factions turn to Candlekeep for answers to DM-quest mysteries, we will utilize this thread to let the DMs know what questions Candlekeep faction members are currently puzzling over.
It is, of course, up to the DMs to decide how much we can learn from our libraries and our divination magic, but this at least lets them know that we are looking into things.
This thread can also be used by faction members for posting personal, in-character research projects, writings, and research grant funding requests. ]

Valerius is currently undertaking three research projects, all three of which are tangentially related.
TO KILL A SHADE
Valerius's close friend, Jonas Rokranon, has asked him to search the libraries of Candlekeep for information on shades: Particularly, he has requested that Valerius uncover a way to destroy the drow shade, Onyxium.
Valerius will spend approximately 30% of his free research time on this project, in an attempt to uncover useful information, which amounts to roughly ninety minutes of searching and reading per day.
THE RAMSET PLAGUE
The Ramset plague is virulent and fatal, and, at the moment incurable. Valerius is looking for methods to treat, to cure, and to prevent this plague. On Abby Winters's advice, he is checking first and foremost into how the spell called death ward would affect the infected, since she seems to believe that the plague originates with necromancy, and that by blocking out negative energy one might block out the plague.
Valerius will also be utilizing a book, recently donated to the Candlekeep libraries by a contingent of drow. He was told that the book was penned by one of the Ramset liches, and he hopes that it contains information on the plague, which he might use to help cure it.
Valerius will spend approximately 30% of his free research time on this project, in an attempt to uncover useful information, which amounts to roughly ninety minutes of searching and reading per day.
KEAGAN WYNDSOUL
Dallenthel Wyndsoul has asked that Valerius look into the fate of his father, Keagan Wyndsoul, who died on an expedition into the Underdark. Specifically, Valerius is to look for information on Sshamath and for information on entrances into the Underdark.
Dallenthel has also asked that Valerius try and find out who forced Ujio and Keagan to duel to the death in the Underdark, and to find out where the remains of his father are currently located, as he hopes to both avenge his father, and to recover his father's body.
Because Dallenthel paid 10,000 gold pieces for this, Valerius will involve other Readers and Scribes, to help him do this research. He will also use divination magic. He will spend approximately 40% of his free research time on this project, which amounts to roughly two hours per day.
As Dallenthel paid for this research, a number of other scholars and diviners will also be involved.

Zelene is currently spending time researching her own agenda related to the human body and healing. She has also taken up looking into the task of how to stop the shade due to past events around the area. Her current focus is the soruce of the shade's magic and a possiable way to trap him for a time as she believes no current mortal on our plane pocesses the power to harm much less kill him. Zelene has also requested Jonas to obtain a peice of the shade if possiable due the being having an intrest in him.
Her current research on troll regeneration continues although that is still mostly a private matter untill she is granted access to the library.
