Citadel Felbarr
City in The Silver Marches
Citadel Felbarr is a dwarven fortress in the Silver Marches, lost to the orcs for centuries and reclaimed by the dwarves, who hold it as a frontier stronghold.
Banners snap above battle-scarred walls in the cold wind from the woods, and inside, the halls still bear the marks of the orcs who once held them.

Overview
Felbarr lies at the foot of the Rauvin Mountains on the River Redrun; on our map it stands between the Cold Wood to the north-west and the Nether Mountains to the east. Like the other dwarven citadels of the north, it is built mostly underground, with fortified gates and towers on the surface.
For a long time Felbarr was an orc stronghold, known by an orcish name, until the dwarves drove the orcs out in 1367 DR and returned the citadel to its old name. It has been attacked again in the orc wars since, and its dwarves remain on a war footing.
In adventures
Felbarr is a natural ally for parties fighting orcs in the Silver Marches. Its dwarves know the mountain passes and the tunnels below them, and pay well for help against raiders.
At the table
- Orc war bands have been seen gathering in the Cold Wood, and the dwarves need scouts to learn how many there are.
