When the great dragon Smaug laid waste to the Kingdom under the Mountain, the Dwarves who survived fled to the Blue Mountains west of the Shire. They founded a lesser kingdom in the mountains called the Ered Luin, building new halls, trading with the folk of Eriador, and even teaching building crafts to the Hobbits.



The Dwarves grew in wealth and strength and lore until King Thorin Oakenshield and company set out to reclaim Erebor, which they did with the aid of a Wizard, a Bowman, and a Burglar. But many Dwarves of Ered Luin had grown to love the Blue Mountains, and not all returned to the Kingdom under the Mountain. Dwalin, of Thorin’s company, serves here as emissary to from the King under the Mountain, and he takes great pride in the successes of the Dwarves of Ered Luin.



This region contains the northern chain of the Blue Mountains, and is bordered by Forlindon to the north and west. The breathtaking Tower Hills rise to the south, and Evendim and the Shire lie to the east.
