AT A GLANCE: The Iron House 
is the royal court of the best-known dwarvish 
kingdom, the Mines of Tethyamir north 
of the Lost Vale.  It is Now in EXILE. 

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The Iron House
is the royal family of the dwarves who 
once ruled the rich mines of Tethyamir, 
&& are Now in hiding, driven out by 
devil-led orcs && hobgoblins, aided by 
the Zhentarim.  The Iron House is headed 
by Ghellin, the King-in-EXILE.  
Dwarves in the Inner Sea lands speak 
of, and work toward, the day when "the 
King shall TAKE his throne again." Ghellin 
has corresponded with Doust of Shadowdale 
via the now-departed elves of 
the Elven Court, but his current whereabouts 
and the size of his present dwarven 
community is unknown.  For 
further information see DWARVES.
