I'm looking for any and all references to the Dwarf Clans of Sarphil.
The Hillsafar Clan ended up in Vaasa...though Dwarves Deep says they are on the "other side of the Dragonspine Mountains" I'm pretty sure this is in error...and also the reason why there are said to be 16,000 dwarves in the Dragonspine Mountains today. It should have been that they were in the West Galena Mountains.
What other Clans were associated with Sarphil?

Given how many millennia passed since the fall of Sarphil until the first Realms date in published works, there would logically be descendants of any Sarphil clan that was not wiped out spread all over Faerun.
Compare the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem less than two thousand years ago and the spread of the descendants of kohanim with surnames like Cohen, Kohen, Kohner, Kahn, Katz, Kaplan, Rappaport and hundreds of others.
Basically, anywhere dwarves have lived in less than complete isolation for the past several thousands of years, there might be descendants of a Sarphil clan living there, having married into a local family or emigrated there wholesale. |

No. FR11 is the only source with any details on Sarphil.
