Dwarves of Erebor
The Lonely Mountain rises above Long Lake and overlooks the valley in which Dale is situated. A channel cut directly into the mouth of the mountain cascades downwards to the south several hundred feet until it reaches the river ports of the dwarves which then lead directly to Dale and Esgaroth, and eventually Long Lake. The Mountain is only approachable to the south by foot, except for a secret passage known only to several dwarves which faces westward.
The Dwarves of Erebor are renowned for their wealth. The mountain having been colonized for some time already, the dwarves have established a vast network of overland trade with the men of Dale and more distantly, the elves of Mirkwood. These dwarves are a very proud people, and boast craftsmanship of incredible quality. It is said that even the least skilled among them is lauded and receives patronage from benefactors. The Dynasty of the Longbeards has rules Erebor since its foundation.
Traits of the Dwarves:
- Children of Durin: +2 defense in battle rolls
- Axes of Khazad Dúm!: +1 offense in battle rolls
- For the Great Smith, Aulë!: +5 modifier to all defensive siege rolls
- Low-light Vision: Able to see in the dark and at night
Thráin II Longbeard, King Under the Mountain
Special Items: Ring of Thror (+3 to field battles, +3 to morale of allies on the field, +100 gold generated per year)
Thráin II is a descendent of the first founder of Erebor, an exile of Moria. He is often seen adorned with a jewel-encrusted belt, a small golden crown, and a large sword hanging by his side. For his own part, he does not smith, but he has taken an interest in the creation of smaller works of art, specifically gold inlaying. He had a dislike and suspicion of Elves, but gets along quite well with the Men of Dale. He has seen his fair share of war, being part of the expedition to Moria to avenge the death of his cousin when Azog was slain. He is 134 years of age.
Fundín Ironshield
Special Items: none
Fundín Ironshield gained his nickname from his use of a large, heavy shield in combat in tandem with a small axe. This rather unorthodox method of fighting had been gaining in popularity with the younger dwarves, This new method of fighting revolves around adapting tools usually used for mining to become weapons. The familiarity with the tools breeds a certain comfort in their use. Fundín is a jovial dwarf that shares none of his father's prejudices. He is 43 years of age.
