[edit] Mithral Hall
Mithral Hall is the fabled dwarven home of Bruenor Battlehammer, an old dwarven city where tunnels were often lined with natural veins of mithral as thick as an arm.
When Bruenor was but a non-bearded dwarven youth the gray dwarves, with the aid of a shadow dragon, attacked Mithral Hall and droves out the dwarves. Bruenor's clan scattered, with a main remnant, containing Bruenor, went to Icewind Dale. Bruenor rose to leadership of the hundred or so dwarves left, and eked out a profitable partnership with the human settlement Ten-Towns, though the dwarf treasured his few memories of his home and vowed to return there. Bruenor tricked Drizzt into vowing to help him find it. After finding it, Bruenor and his companions took back Mithral Hall with the aid of Citadel Adbar, Longsaddle, and Nesmé. After it was reclaimed, the Clan Battlehammer dwarves moved from Icewind Dale back to their ancestral home of Mithral Hall. Dwarves from other strongholds immigrated to Mithral Hall, as well. Bruenor then became the eighth king and later the tenth king after his ancestor, the first king, Gandalug, was recrowned and later died.

[edit] Novels and modules
- Some parts of the official Neverwinter adventures occurred in Luruar, particularly at Beorunna's Well
- 3 Years ago, the Silver Marches Role-Play module was set up and has been running online ever since. Currently, the server functions on the 4th version of the module since its creation. The server enforces Role-Play regulations, in other words, you have to stay "In Character" while you play, creating many small story-lines and plots.
