Defense and Justice See also: Axe of Mirabar The subterranean level closest to the ground was called the First Below. There was another entrance that was a sloping, winding tunnel. The base of this shaft was another guarded room with several exits, all with either iron doors or portcullises. It was guarded by the Axe of Mirabar, and accessible via a staircase from Undercity Square, followed by a pulley-operated lift in a shaft hundreds of feet deep. The Undercity The center of all mining in Mirabar. Undercity Square An open area between three buildings and containing the entrance to the Undercity. Notable Locations Hall of All Fires A large hall lined with furnaces with a capacity of more than two thousand. The badge of Mirabar was a deep red double-bladed axe with a pointed haft and a flaring flat base, on a black field. Roads led to its major mines in the Spine of the World mountains, which yielded a wide range of metals and gemstones, so they were guarded against orc and monster raids by the Axe of Mirabar (see Militia below). The area around the city was dotted with open mines and heaps of rock. Its walls were extremely thick and sloping, so as to allow water to be poured down them in the winter, which froze to make them slippery. It was arranged in such a way as to provide great efficiency. On the surface, Mirabar was populated with squat stone buildings and a few stone towers. Mirabar stood on a knoll on the north banks of the River Mirar. Mirabar also had an elected sceptrana, Shoudra Stargleam in 1370 DR. It was led by the dwarven cleric of Dumathoin, Agrathan Hardhammer. Mirabar was ruled by a hereditary marchion, but the true power was in an elected assembly called the Council of Sparkling Stones, a mixed dwarven and human group that met once a year to determine production quotas and whether or not to threaten current clients with reduced output. The humans above cooperated with the dwarves to handle the mining, move the ore to market, and defend the city against magical threats. In 1370 DR, the city was occupied by 1600 shield dwarves who lived underground near to their workshops, which produced metal goods for export in the region and beyond. As of 1368 DR it was the richest city north of Waterdeep. Mirabar was a mining city of great wealth located on the Sword Coast.
