2. Make a note in your topcomment if anything especially triggering or graphic might show up in the Calibration. If you're not sure if something's worth noting or not, we suggest listing it anyway, just to err on the side of caution.
3. Put your character's name (it can be shortened or different from the tag, this time) in the subject of your comment. This will help visitors find you easily, and help us update the list below.
4. Post your comment! It's fine if everyone's Calibrations end up looking and reading very different from one another. As long as you're having fun and following our guidelines, you're good to go. :)
5. If you have any questions or concerns during Calibrations, you are welcome to send them towards the mod team at any time, as always.

It's not that one is uniquely illuminated, but uniquely dark. The Restricted section, set behind it's gate, is shadowed, more than it should rightly be, even at the entrance, with all the ambient light from the rest of the library.

[lord_wizard]

It dawned on him that this shadowy corner was where she likely kept all those secret things she'd rather keep hidden away from view. The section has a siren's call all it's own but even if he were to venture that way, he'd not do so so boldly in the view of the librarian.

He turns back with a smile. "Perhaps I'll browse a little more. Thank you for entertaining my questions."

[child_of_bhaal]

She nods, her gaze seeming to pull back, returning to the almost vacant quality it had before. "I'm here if you need anything."

She turns away, back to her work, and it's suddenly like she doesn't know he's there anymore. He's free to go and do whatever he likes.

[lord_wizard]

He watches her a little longer as he continues down the aisles, as if she might reveal something more when she thinks he's no longer looking.

The real answers are in the books, though, he's certain of that much. It was a truth of his life that he do best not to forget. He circles back to where he'd started and finds the sections that might have most to do the host. The magic section tempts him to return but it's a book from the History section that eventually ends up in his hands. After all, he likes history.

[child_of_bhaal]

What he learns is that she goes right back to her task, as if she never stopped. She is not following him, or tracking him whatsoever.

Maybe helpful. Maybe not.

Anyway, on to the really important part. The books. When he takes a book, he is treated to another memory.

Your hands shake as you open the letter and start to read.

Hello Syeira,

If you are reading this, it means I have met an untimely death. I would tell you not to grieve for me, but I feel much better thinking that you would. There are things I must tell you in this letter that I might have told you before. However, if my death came too soon then I would have never been given the chance. First off, I am not your biological father, for that distinction lies with an entity known as Bhaal. The Bhaal that I speak of is the one you know of as a divinity. In the crisis known as the Time of Troubles, when the Gods walked Faerun, Bhaal was also forced into a mortal shell. He was somehow forewarned of the death that awaited him during this time. For reasons unknown to me, he sought out women of every race and forced himself upon them. Your mother was one of those women, and as you know, she died in childbirth. I had been her friend and on occasion, lover. I felt obligated to raise you as my own. I have always thought of you as my child and I hope you still think of me as your father. You are a special child. The blood of the Gods runs through your veins. If you make use of our extensive library, you will find that our founder, Alaundo, has many prophecies concerning the coming of the spawn of Bhaal. These are many who will want to use you for their own purposes. One, a man who calls himself Sarevok, is the worst danger. He has studied here at Candlekeep and thus knows a great deal about your history and who you are.

You feel suddenly as if you can't move. Can't breathe. Your mind races, reels. You feel dizzy.

And then just as suddenly, the memory ends.
