Thorin's
Halls
The great halls of Thorin, delved beneath
the Ered Luin in western Middle-earth are amongst the
greatest wonders of craftsmanship and building found
anywhere in the world. It has been nearly 80 years since
Thorin himself journeyed away from this Dwarf-mansion
of soaring stone to reclaim his rightful place beneath
Erebor, in his noble quest to Lonely Mountain to defeat
the dragon Smaug (a well-documented adventure, indeed!).
Though Thorin was never to return to this place, having
fallen in the Battle of the Five Armies after successfully
reclaiming his throne, Thorin's Halls in the Blue Mountains
remain a vibrant center of activity in the region.
Dwarf characters new to Middle-earth will begin their
grand adventures here in the Ered Luin, within Thorin's
Halls and down into the darkness of the nearby Silverdeep
Mines. The region, situated along the western shores
of Middle-earth, not far from the Grey Havens of the
Elves, and also quite close to the Shire of the Hobbits,
is designed as a vibrant crossroads of many of Middle-earth's
diverse races. The Ered Luin, also known as the Blue
Mountains, is an area rich in the history of Middle-earth,
figuring prominently throughout the ages, however, there
are very few adventures documented in detail here within
The Lord of the Rings books, making it a perfect place
for new players to discover never-before-experienced
regions as they begin their exploration of the lands.
