When it was completed, it was the home of Clan Goldspire, along with their human friends and allies, refugees from the fallen empire of Netheril. Immar Fardelver, perhaps the greatest craftsman in the history of the dwarves, led the city’s construction. Centuries or even millennia later, the dwarves returned, and with help from the humans of Illusk and the elves of Iliyanbruen, they built the fabled city. There was some kind of terrible catastrophe that forced the dwarves of Delzoun to abandon the mine. According to the legends, the miners encountered something fierce and terrible deep beneath the earth. Gauntlgrym began as a mine in the ancient days of Delzoun’s first expansion many thousands of years ago. The shield dwarves of the North remember it as the greatest achievement of all dwarf-kind. The city was built on a huge scale, with many doorways of iron, mithral, and stone so big that even a dragon could pass through. Gauntlgrym was the fabled capital of Delzoun. The most famous of these underground roads was the Lowroad which linked the Delzoun lands with Netheril. They carved out the Fardrimm, a series of underground roads spanning the breadth of their empire and beyond into other areas of the North. The Delzoun gained wealth and power by trading with Netheril. Delzoun, the great Northkingdom of the dwarves, flourished over five thousand years ago, stretching from the Ice Mountains in the north to the Rauvin and Nether Mountains in the south.
