| − | The '''Lonely Mountain''' or Sindarin '''Erebor''' is a mountain in the northeast of [[Rhovanion]]. When the dwarves had to leave their ancient home [[Khazad-dûm]], it became the new home of Durin's folk, led by [[Thráin I]], who became ''King under the Mountain''. In T.A. 2770 Erebor was attacked by the dragon [[Smaug]], who took it as his home, forcing the surviving dwarves to flee again. In T.A. 2941, as told in ''The Hobbit'', the dragon Smaug was slain. The dwarves returned to the Lonely Mountain, ruled by the new ''King under the Mountain'' [[Dáin II Ironfoot]]. | + | The '''Lonely Mountain''' or Sindarin '''Erebor''' is a mountain in the northeast of [[Rhovanion]].
