Lore

"The waystation of Noglond serves as a provisioners' outpost and resting place for merchants and weary travellers." — Deed

Both Noglond and Gondamon were once Elven holdings in the days of Edhelion, but fell into ruin in the long years after the fall of the refuge. The dwarf-exiles of the Lonely Mountain rebuilt them, under the leadership of Thráin and Thorin, and the Elves of Duillond welcomed them to the mountains. In these evil days, the guards of Noglond and Gondamon must be ever-vigilant against the return of the treacherous Dourhands and goblins out of the north. — Lorebook
