Dungeons & Dragons Candlekeep Mysteries

Candlekeep Mysteries is an anthology of 17 short, mystery-themed D&D adventures written by members of the D&D community. Each tale begins with a book discovered in Candlekeep — the great library fortress on the Sword Coast — and takes characters somewhere unexpected. With at least one adventure for every level from 1 to 16, and each designed to run in one to two sessions, it's an ideal resource for one-shots or campaign filler.

Every adventure balances mystery with exploration, roleplay, and combat, so there's something for all player types. The book includes detailed descriptions of Candlekeep and its inhabitants, a poster map of the Inner Ward, and guidance for adapting the adventures to other settings including Exandria, Eberron, and Greyhawk. Compatible with the 5.5E Core Rules.
