Blue Mountains

## **Lore**

### **Blue Dwarves Lore:**

The Dwarves were created by Aulë, who was referred to Mahal (Maker). During the First Age, around a century after the Elves were created, the Seven Fathers of Dwarves were woken. Each of these dwarves set out to make their own clan. Each of them succeeded and ended up becoming King of their own clan. One of those seven dwarves built his Kingdom in the Blue mountains. Dwarves are some of the greatest miners and jewelers in Middle Earth. They dug out entire mountains, and built huge halls, rooms, and more. Since the dwarves were so good at mining, and constantly doing it they were rich in precious materials. Some of the materials they are rich in are: gold, iron, copper, silver, and silver.

### **Server History:**

In the past, the Blue Mountain dwarfs were led by King Dwalin (blackorigin), but after he passed away the kingdom, the Blue Dwarves lost their influence in Middle-earth. This led the people of Durin to take control of their kingdom. For some time Fodgrumin (HOSTIS) was the king of the lost dwarf clans. The blue dwarfs were part of the Khazâdul Empire until they decided to separate permanently from their blood relatives.

After a period of absence of a sovereign, Ered Luin's dwarves once again had a king: King Heimdall, who brought them back to the Middle-earth scene, in fact brought the faction to the federation of free peoples and began with numerous structural reforms and expanded controlled territories to restore the glory of the declining kingdoms of Nogrod and Belegost.

Subsequently, at the request of the People's king of Durin, Heimdall detached himself from the federation to restore the former dwarven empire; The king ruled until his death, satisfied with the goals achieved.

The faction was long without a king, when Kholl took over the faction's throne, actively participating in the Dwarves' civil war that resulted in the fall of Uzbad Dain IV; after the fall of the Uzbad it was not long before Kholl's reign also perished, passing the throne to Narvi, who would later become Uzbad of the Khazâd Empire.

On August 7, Narvi died leaving his throne to his son Úri VII.
