Citadel Felbarr was originally a dwarven citadel of over 25,000 dwarves that at different times in history belonged to dwarves, humans, orcs, and since 1367 DR once again the dwarves.[2]
The badge of office for the King of Citadel Felbarr was a a simple golden crown adorned with three large sapphires.[3]
Geography
Citadel Felbarr was located at the base of the Rauvin Mountains along the River Redrun, with Silverymoon Pass to the south and Sundabar Vale to the east. A trade route connected Felbarr to Sundabar to the southeast and Beorunna's Well to the northwest beyond the Cold Wood.[4]
Citadel Felbarr had tunnels in the Upper Underdark that connected it to Mithral Hall in the west.[5]
History
In around 1054 DR the dwarves abandoned Citadel Felbarr. The humans of Silverymoon quickly took advantage of this masive citadel and garrisoned it with over 3,000 troops[2] However after a battle lasting many months the citadel was captured in 1104 DR by orcs and renamed Citadel of Many Arrows.[6] It was recaptured by a force of Dwarves in 1367 DR.

Post 1486 DR
- Some point after Parson Glaive was made king of Citadel Felbarr, the throne was given over to the royal couple, King Morinn and Queen Tithmel, a pair of wise monarchs, who made it a point to rule as equals. Together they gave their support to a group of adventurers to deal with the Fire Giant threat in the old forge of Ironslag, lead by the fire giant ruler, Duke Zalto and his family, after the removal of the Ordening. In return for their efforts fighting the giants, the monarchs of Citadel Felbarr offered to build the adventurers a fortified tower somewhere in the Silver Marches, as well as supply the tower with ten Felbarren dwarf guards.[10]
