What the Party Knows
- The largest public library on the Sword Coast; one of the finest public libraries in all of Faerûn.
- Maintained by clerics of Oghma (the Lord of Knowledge — patron of bards, wizards, and scholars; neutral deity).
- Second floor: maps and cartography. Third floor: genealogical records.
- Offers free afternoon literacy classes in Oghma's name. Lessie attended. The class had children in it. She attended anyway.
- The cleric who greeted the party was Jasper Adolphus — knowledgeable, helpful, seemingly delighted by every question.
- Research conducted here (Session 058): Emmith found what could be found about the Silmerhelve noble house (Sea Ward; formal audience-by-invitation only). KeYs found fragmentary lore on Godsparks.
