Clan Noldrun was a dwarf clan of the Mror Holds.[1][2]
Some time around 600 YK, the whole clan vanished without explanation,[1][2] but Noldrun's rivals—Mroranon, Toldorath, and Tordannon—did not mourn their passing. While there are many rumors as to what happen, their lands are widely believed to be haunted and are thus shunned.[1]
It was based at Noldrunhold, near the southern end of the Ironroot Mountains.[1] Noldrunhold lies abandoned[3] and its capital, Noldrunthrone, southeast of the Goradra Gap, is in ruins.[2]
History[]
The derro of the Vale of the Inner Sun are descended from the warped progeny of Clan Noldrun, who fled underground following the fall of Noldrunhold four hundred years ago.[4][5]
Rumors & Legends[]
A legend links the missing Clan Noldrun to the Khyber-dwelling duergar, supported by their large population below Noldrunhold and the Goradra Gap.[6] It is said that the abased descendants of Clan Noldrun survived as mad, twisted shadows of dwarf-kind.[2]

Notes[]
Keith Baker has suggested on his website that the dwarves of Noldrunhold degenerated into derro in a manner similar to the transformation of the goblins into dolgrim.[7] This change would have been at the hand of a daelkyr or even an overlord.[7]

C'mon, I know you have one, share it! Like the Mourning, I think this is a great place to explore your own ideas. But personally, I think it's a great way to use the Derro – having adventurers find the sunken hold now populated by these twisted and deviant descendants of the first Noldrun dwarves. This could be the work of an overlord, or it could be the daelkyr responsible for the original destruction of the Deep Kingdoms; the derro are to dwarves as the dolgrims are to goblins. Of course, you could always say that they became duergar, then pick up all the Underdark rising materials and replace the word “drow” with “duergar”, and suddenly POW, it's Noldrun Rising!"
