Dolblunde was founded in 232 DR by several rock and deep gnome clans led by Olbrent Handstone. It was located in the Upper Northdark under the hills northeast of what was to become Waterdeep. Dolblunde joined the kingdom of Phalorm when it was formed in 523 DR but was sacked and pillaged by the Everhorde in 614 DR. The survivors allied themselves with Delimbiyran the following year. In 698 DR, the city was attacked yet again by priests and worshipers of Urdlen; their human allies would not come to their aid since they were too busy fighting a civil war and repelling orc raiders. With no help forthcoming, the remaining gnomes abandoned the city and the Northlands for a safer home. In 1253 DR the city became the lair of the dracolich Daurgothoth.
