- The realm of the Lonely Mountain was once called Erebor and it was a place of friendship and trade with the Men of Dale. Though trade blossoms in Laketown, the economic fortunes of Rhovanion as a whole all but collapsed with the destruction of Dale and Erebor.

- The Dwarves of Erebor are the wayfarers of their people. For whatever reason, they have chosen not to resettle with their kin in the nearby Iron Hills and now live in the villages and towns of Men. They are highly sought after as smiths, masons, and warriors.

- Dwarves of Erebor are prone to drinking and smoking and can be rowdy. 

Suggested Backgrounds and Roles: 

Please note: The sacking of Erebor occurred in 2770 TA. As such, all Dwarf who choose an Erebor-born background must have an age appropriate relative to the current IC date. As 250 years old is the average lifespan of a Dwarf, (165 - 225) is a good recommended zone. Dwarves in the over 200 zone should have hair that is greying/grey/whitish.
