Citadel Felbarr was originally a dwarven citadel of over 25,000 dwalves.[1] In around 1054 DR the dwarves abandonded Citadel Felbarr. The humans of Silverymoon quickly took advantage of this masive citadel and garrisoned it with over 3,000 troops[1] However after a battle lasting many months the citadel was captured in 1104 DR by orcs and renamed Citadel of Many Arrows.[2] It was recaptured by a force of Dwarves in 1367 DR. It is located near to the Spine of the World. It often trades with Beorunna's Well, Quaervarr, Silverymoon and Sundabar.[3]
The badge of office for the King of Citadel Felbarr is a a simple golden crown adorned with three large sapphires[4].
