Candelabra, also known as Candelabrum, were candleholders designed to hold multiple candles. They could be found in many temples and other types of buildings across the Realms, serving both a decorative and religious function.[1][3]
Description[]
Candelabra varied greatly in size, shape, the material used in their construction,[1] and in the number of candles they could hold.[1][3] They often ranged from holding four to sixteen candles.[3]
Availability[]
- Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold candelabras under its "Priest's Alcove" section made of either gold or silver. Those that could hold six candles sold for 35 gp and 20 gp respectively, while those that could hold twelve candles sold for 45 and 25 gp respectively.[1]
- The Glow Shop in Ravens Bluff sold candleabras made of brass or iron, but sometimes offered ones made of unusual or precious materials for a higher price.[4]
- Hillmarch, a small mining town in northern Cormyr, produced a great quantity of high-quality brass candelabras.[5]
Usages[]
The spell Intensify summoning required a miniature, silver candelabra as a material component.[6]
