Lore
- Ered Luin, or the Blue Mountains as they are known in Westron, are dominated by the realm established by the exile Dwarf-lord Thráin and passed on to his son, the great hero Thorin Oakenshield. Thorin's Hall was never particulary prosperous, for only iron could be mined there, but in recent years strife has nearly broken the realm.
- At the foot of the Mountains lies the Elf-refuge of Duillond, established after the fall of Edhelion. It is here that the timber used to build the White Ships of Mithlond is gathered. Elves and Dwarves alike must now contend with Dwarves of the Dourhand clan, who have become little more than well-organised brigands, and with Goblins that have passed into Ered Luin from Sarnûr.
