Overview
Llorkh lies in the Gray Vale at the upper end of the Delimbiyr valley, below the Greypeak Mountains. It was founded by refugees from fallen Netheril and became an important mining town, but its mines dwindled.
In the mid-14th century DR the Zhentarim annexed the town as their westernmost outpost in the North. It kept fading after their rule ended and was destroyed by stone giants in the late 15th century DR.
