Citadel Felbarr diaspora and some other stuff

Post by dergon darkhelm »

Wondering about some lore, both FR and ALFA-specifc.

After the fall of Felbarr and before the recapture in 1367 where did the dwarves go?

How old would a dwarf be to reach "fighting" age or some notion of "manhood"? (Particulary would dwarves born in the Thunder Blessing of 1307 have participated in the recapture of the Citadel?)

What clans are known within Citadel Felbarr?

If a dwarf had some spark of arcana how would that spark be nurtured (or not)? Where would a dwarven wizard train in the art?

Thanks!

Citadel Felbarr was completed by the dwarves of the kingdom of Delzoun around -1900 DR. Following the fall of Netheril in -339 DR, the kingdom fell upon hard times, suffering from the loss of trade with the Netherese and the depredations of the orcish hordes that periodically swept the land, and the population slowly dwindled.

In 273 DR, three clans from Delzoun and Amarindar left the North to settle in Myth Drannor.

Around 1054 DR, the last dwarves left Felbarr, at which time it was quickly reclaimed by Silverymoon - troops from the Gem of the North posted a fortified garrison of ~ 3,000 there. Following a months-long siege, Felbarr was taken by the orcish hordes in 1104 DR and renamed Citadel Many Arrows.

Dwarven adulthood is considered to begin at 40 years of age.
