Erebor

Erebor, also known as the Lonely Mountain, is a large, legendary mountain fortress in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. It’s rich in precious metals and gemstones, especially gold, making it a valuable stronghold. Once a thriving dwarven city, Erebor was overtaken by the dragon Smaug, leading to its decline. In stories, it represents wealth, resilience, and the struggle to reclaim lost heritage. Its dramatic origins and central role in the tales highlight themes of adventure, greed, and heroism within Tolkien's universe.
