If there was any location were knowledge regarding the plague or the fate of Elturel could be found, it would be within Candlekeep.

Upon their arrival within the castle, they were directed to Sylvira Savikas, a archmake and scholar of Candlekeep, who was an expert in demonology. Scheduling a meeting with her, the group settled down. Within short the group was able to meet with her, and using her knowledge of the fiendish, she was able to crack the artifact that you had collected. In so doing revealing the contract between Thavius Kreeg and the archdevil Zariel. To Sacrifice himself and all citizens of the city to the ruinous powers, with that they were able to surmise were Elturel had gone. Sylvarias interest peaked, she offered her services to send the group to Elturel, in order to give them a shot in returning the city and finding the origin of The Bloodthorn plague.

What followed was a short time of peace, as the group spent time in Candlekeep, attempting to prepare as best as they could for the trip at hand. Finding information on Devils, the bloodthorn and training physically and linguistically.
