History
Founded in 999 DR, the village was originally a noble's villa, but strangely, the location of the village only appeared on maps of Cormyr dated from before 1160 DR. As of 1369 DR, Volkumburgh was a rustic village of miners and sheep farmers. However, the Cult of the Dragon returned to build the Chantry of St. Sammaster. The chantry was located near the ruins of a former temple, the Temple of the Dragon Oracle, some to the north-northwest.

In the mid-12 century DR, King Proster Obarskyr ordered Volkumburgh's College of Shaping Magics to construct a new breed of stone golems, designed to help expedite his building projects. In later centuries, this information could only be found in a single obscure government document in Suzail.
