Blue Mountains Dwarves

[Protestant Knight]

KO so I was Thinking about the dwarves settlements in the blue mountains and the only big city was Belegost in the south range of the blue mountains so I think it should be put in 2.0 and I think the starting dwarves regions should be made smaller at the the start of the game becasue the dwarves stade in there mountains most of the time just to start off the game I think it wold make it more lorn baste

[King Canute]

i think it's fine as is. Plus i think belegost fell with the rest of Belriand

[Seleukos_I.]

I also think it's good as it is. Though theses dwarves were not under the direct command of Erebor, they were loyal to the king. But otherwise you can play Divide and Conquer, a sub-mod which splitted the factions up.

[BanditKS]

Eh i still would like to see it but hey i am pro-dwarf. or maybe it will be a special mission to help bring about greater dwarven power. start it out as a rebel city with goblins in it so when it is taken it gives off a special event. or something fancy like that. just something to add a bit more spice to the game.

[Beorn]

Well, Thorin Oakshield duelled in Ered Luin gefore the Hobbit events. I don't think that all the dwarves went from there to Erebor...

[Pietrak]

The thing in the Blue Mountains was a colony, thats all. And Belegost was deep under water in the Third Age.

[Beorn]

I didn't sasy that Nogrod and Belegost were existing afte War of the Wrath. I said that there were some Longbeard mines still.

[Warmaster Tibs]

More Dwarves are always a good thing.

[Protestant Knight]

Onless i'm wrong Belegost was there in the Second age what happend to it in the Third age I'm gonig by the, The Atlas of Middle-Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad

[Bela]

More Dwarves are always a good thing.

100% agree!

[Muffer Nl]

More Hobbits!

[Warmaster Tibs]

More Hobbits!

Dwarves > Hobbits.

It is a known fact.

[Withwnar]

Yes, I thought that Belegost was still around too. It's on the Eastern side of the Blue Mountains above the Gulf of Lune, according to a map I have.

[Beorn]

I think it was deserted some time in Second Age, as slowly its inhabitants went to Khazad-Dum...

[Withwnar]

I think you're right there Beorn. I just had a quick look on Tolkien Gateway...

Unlike Nogrod to the South, Belegost may have partly survived after the War of Wrath, although it was recorded as having been 'ruined' at that time: many Dwarves of Belegost joined Durin's folk in Khazad-dûm 60 years after the war, but there were always Dwarves on the Eastern side of the mountains.

Then why did 12 powrfull dwarves need a hobbit?

[Warmaster Tibs]

Then why did 12 powrfull dwarves need a hobbit?

They needed a thief and Bilbo happend to be a good one. I bet they would have taken a human if he was good enough.

[Beorn]

Then why did 12 powrfull dwarves need a hobbit?

Because 12 Dwarves=much noise...

[Muffer Nl]

So Dwarves are not good thiefs?
And I bet thay can't grow pipe weed as good as hobbits can
Oh and resist the one ring, and stab a witch king, and throw a rock as good as they can, and move as silently, and...

Dwarves are too god to farm. Anyone could have stabbed the Witch king. You can throw a rock but we can shoot a crossbow. You move silenty and sneak around the place while we blow the up.
Frodo was unique, the average hobbit would have succombed just as easy.
