Erebor

**Erebor**, or the Lonely Mountain, is a Dwarven kingdom. It is famed for its riches and craftmanship, just like all other Dwarven havens. It lies north of the Mannish Kingdom of Dale. The dwelling of the dwarves was sundered by the dragon Smaug, who was then subsequently defeated by Bard the Bowman from Dale, who hit the dragon's body with an arrow. On the server, it is ruled by Nakras.

## Ancient History of Erebor

In september shorty after the first ever reset three dwarves joined the realm of Middle Earth. Their names were Don the Great, Finweg Diamondpick and PEPCOOL. First they settled among their hobbit friends in the shire and they prepared for a journey. Far over the misty mountains cold lay their destination. The Lonely Mountain. Don lead the company and his people knew he would lead them well.

Arriving at Erebor, Don showed his friends the way through the ruins into the mountain. The dwarves soon saw the might that this land would provide them. Don was soon proclaimed first King of Erebor and under his reign the great Gate of Erebor (among other things) was built. Shortly after, the dwarves made an alliance with the King of Rhovanion Magikshard (Nakras). The Northern Alliance. The halls were filled with golden light. Finweg was the head miner and granted Dons Folk many riches. PEPCOOL soon proved himself to be a good servant concerning diplomatic matters. The wealth of Erebor rose more and more every day. Other important names during Dons reign were: MagicStick (Breaker) Gimli (kippen) and Ivar (Lazuli)

### Death of the king DonDR

In December the days turned dark for Erebor...

The Lord of Silver Fountains, the King of Carven Stone, the King beneath the Mountain and the Arkenstone Don was killed. During a feast in Erebor the dwarven king died by poisoned wine. In this party there were a lot of guests: mostly dwarves - PEPCOOL, Dain (NocturnalDracula), Gimli (\_kippenswag) but also and Yazan from Jogos Nhai and Khamûl (Mala\_kockica) from Dol Guldur. To this day the circumstances of his murder have not been fully revealed. His most loyal dwarves Finweg and PEPCOOL mourned his death for many days to come...

### Rule of PEPCOOL

To reestablish peace in the lands of Erebor the dwarves chose PEPCOOL to be their new king. And so began the long reign of the second king of Erebor. Dwarves came and dwarves left. The halls in Erebor never stopped expanding. The dwarves followed the way of Don. They spread the word of peace and loyalty. Everything the dwarves are today is due to the nature of Don and his wisdom.

The beauty of the dwarven kingdom pleased the Valar (aka staff) and they granted PEPCOOL the powers of a builder so that he could help every folk in middle earth with their kingdoms. Because of his new abilities PEPCOOL went on many journeys to different lands, but in order to keep his kingdom involved in trades and for Erebor to keep evolving he named Ivar (Lazuli) Regent of Erebor and gave him the keys to the lonely mountain.

When the world was hit by a sudden reset, everything the dwarves had was no more.

The dwarven King PEPCOOL griefed about the loss and couldnt move on for he had failed his king and friend Don. It was Finweg Diamondpick who took initiative and lead the folk of Erebor to the old kingdom of Khazad Dum. They entered the mines of Moria from the East Gate and freed hall by hall from orcs that were infesting them. Khazad Dum began to prospor and Finweg Diamondpick was offered the crown to be the new King. However he refused to take it, for he knew the real king was the king beneath the mountain and that his long time friend PEPCOOL would never find peace without reclaiming Erebor.

Finweg held on to Erebor and Dons Legacy. He became Lord of Khazad Dum and ruled under Erebors banner. He urged his king to rebuild the Lonely Mountain. To show the world that Erebor is, just like Don, eternal. Not even a reset could bring down the dwarves. Many loyal dwarves, as for example @KreeperTheSteel and a crazy dwarf called Tyson joined the mission. @CaptainBobbes stayed with his new Lord Finweg in Khazad Dum as were others. Lazuli went on to become King of the Blue mountains. Nakras became King of the Red mountains. All of them were united by the bond that Don created all that time ago.

When things seemed quiet for the dwarven folk, the nights of the Lord of Khazad-Dum have been disturbed by weird dreams. He had seen a future in which the one true king under the mountain, the lord of silver fountains, the king of carven stone has been sent back from the dead. Finweg has included a mural painting of it in his great hall of DonDR. It is known as The prophecy of Khazad-Dum. It describes the event, of Don's ressurection near Mirrormere.

On the 20th of July 2019 the prophecy came true and Don returned to life. He greeted many of those who had missed it and explored Erebor once again, looking at all the changes made while he was gone. He then wore the crown of Erebor once again, and ruled for a time before activity dwindled down... and that is the end of the ancient history.
