Vala left her notes on a piece of parchment stuck in the journal where it opened for her.
She sticks on "The Reckoning of two lists" but doesn't get anywhere with it. She notes Gomlee seemed to have 2 counts going. He identified his murder count was in the 700's when we were at the inn but the last # he said was 1122
There are somewhat obsessive notes full of doubt and curiosity about her Unknown
Candlekeep:
- Candlekeep is the largest, most complete, and well secured library on the continent
- It's essentially a fortress dedicated to the amassing of all knowledge that can be amassed
- Vala would know that Candlekeep has its own government and strong religious following
- People that live and work there are essentially all part of that in some way
- There is a town outside of Candlekeep that supports it through trade and goods
- Candlekeep is essentially a theocracy, but a theocracy of people devoted to the Gods of Knowledge and Invention
- If he had been born there, it would be super weird that he didn't still live and work there unless he was banished for some reason
- ASSUMPTION: the worst thing you could do in a place like this is destroy knowledge, I bet. Is that how Gomlee was banished?
- Gomlee spent "his younger years" adventuring along the Dragon Coast which is literally thousands of miles from Candlekeep
The Scribe:
- Deneir, The Scribe of Oghma
- He's the god of writing, the written word, and history
- it's exceedingly odd that Gomlee followed a scribe god, he didn't seem the type
- note: gomlee's main god was Mielikki
