Aelinthaldaar

Aelinthaldaar was the capital of Illefarn, an ancient elven civilization in northwest Faerûn. The city was located where Waterdeep would later stand.
The elves destroyed their own city in -1100 DR when they retreated to Evermeet, leaving very little behind.
A magical effect that prevented the plateau from collapsing, regardless of activities below the surface, remained in effect. Crypts remained intact below the Pantheon Temple of the Seldarine in Waterdeep.

"From the ruins of the Days of Thunder arose the first nations of the Proud People — the elves and dwarves — in the region.
The elves raised up the nations of Aryvandaar, Ardeep, and Ilythiir. They settled Illefarn along the Sword Coast, from the Spine of the World to the River Delimbiyr — its capitol Aelinthaldaar in the shadow of what is now Mount Waterdeep. Wood elves and moon elves founded the kingdom of Eaerlann in the Delimbiyr Valley and the High Forest, and separatists from Aryvandaar settled Miyeritar in the lands of the present-day High Moor and Misty Forest.
The dwarf clans united as the nation of Delzoun, named for its forge-founder, with dwarfholds built on sites ranging from the Ice Mountains to the Nether Mountains and the Narrow Sea, and settlements and halls westward to the Crags and the Sword Mountains.
The Proud People regularly defended their homelands against orc hordes that arose from the mountains of the Spine of the World and surged southward to attack and pillage." -Volo
