'''Dunspeirrin''', also known as the '''City of Sunken Spires''' and '''Underspires''', was a [[duergar]] city below the [[Orsraun Mountains]] in the [[Darklands]] of the [[Middledark]].<ref name="U-p145" />

==History==
Around [[1369 DR]], the duergar sent the [[Army of Steel]] into the caverns of [[Taark Shanat]] to stop the [[Army of Gold]] regaining the [[shield dwarf]] kingdom of [[Deep Shanatar]] and started the [[War of Gold and Gloom]].<ref name="RoF-p12">{{Cite book/Races of Faerûn|12}}</ref><ref name="tGHotR-p149">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|149}}</ref> As of [[1372 DR]], the [[gold dwarves]] and duergar were still fighting.<ref name="RoF-p15">{{Cite book/Races of Faerûn|15}}</ref>

Around [[1491 DR]], their king was [[Olorn Ridaugaur]] who wielded the [[Barakuir]] scepter, one of the ten Ruling Scepters of Shanatar.<ref name="SKT-p235">{{Cite book/Storm King's Thunder|235}}</ref>
