Gauntlgrym is an illithid city, but not much is known about it except that! I am continuing to modify my Underdark campaign, so if anything knows about Gauntlgrym, don't hesitate to post!

This is taken from The North, some aditional info might be found in Volo's guide to the north or FR 5. I found some info on the Delzoun empire, in the Savage frontier. Beyond that I don't reall know.
Gauntlgrym
Gauntlgrym is a large, underground city built by the dwarves of
Delzoun for men in the early years of an amicable existence of
dwarves, elves, and men in the North (long before the Fallen
Kingdom). Itís now abandoned and holds great riches. All who
hear the ballads and tales know of Gauntlgrym, but the precise
location of this treasure trove is lost. Even the dwarves know
only that it lies north of the Dessarin and its tributaries, near
the valley of Khedrun.
Ten years ago, a trio of adventurers arrived in Waterdeep in
triumph, entering the Copper Cup to proclaim they had discovered
Gauntlgrym. After a spending spree in Waterdeep on
armor and weapons funded with rare gems and solid gold jewelry,
the group set out one week later to recover the bulk of the
treasures; no one ever saw them againónor has any other
word been told of Gauntlgrym in the passing decade.
Gauntlgrym housed 30,000 men and dwarves in its day.
Now, not even goblin races dwell here. Dripping water echoes
eerily throughout the cold, empty halls, the sound broken infrequently
by the wails of banshees. Gauntlgrym touches on
Deepearth, and a powerful illithid clan controls part of the
city. Although the way is long and deadly, Gauntlgrym also
connects with Great Worm Caverns.

Gaungrym... the name sais it all:
Gauntlet + Grim. 
I wouldn't wanna go there. Unless... there are magical items there, ofcourse. Mind tricks don't work on the undead, anyway.  |

Currently not all that active. I'm preoccupied with Warcraft III for the moment. Bite me :P |

Actually, I'm really not that busy at the immediate moment, just tired. I spent most of the last two days debugging sub-routines, so my brain is kind of flat at the moment...
