INTRODUCTION

The westernmost territory in Eriador, Ered Luin, also known as
the Blue
Mountain, is the starting area for Dwarves and Elves. The Dwarves start
out at the snowy peak of the mountain at Thorin's Gate, and the Elves
start out in the south at the riverside town of Celondim. The two
peoples mingle more freely in Haudh Lin and the Low-lands where they
face off against the Dourhands, who have left their indelible mark on
the landcape.

The
mark of the Dourhands is strongest around Thorin's Gates, where their
careless disregard for the environment has left industrial scars on the
landscape: smashed smokestack towers, rusted mining scaffolding and
heaps of stinking debris line the excavation sites around Mirkstone
Tunnels and the Arming Cave, the once-pristine mountainside stricken
away and left to rot.
While the Elves of Celondim have suffered rather less of the Dourhands'
greed and wickedness, their hurt goes back a long way to the fall of
Edhelion, and their mistrust of the Dwarves runs deep.
