Nothing of importance in the Iron Hills in the First Age. This is non discussable, I have already been through this with various "lore experts" regarding this matter why is why it is settled as it is. It makes no sense to start populating the colony of a large kingdom, before the kingdom even is populated. As well as this, there are also gameplay reasons such as keeping players as close to where things happen as possible - the Iron Hills are too far away from everything to make it beneficial for the server to start populating it before all the other Dwarven kingdoms from a gameplay perspective. I've given you an advice - stick to it or not. So enough of this. You shall await the answer from the Lore Admins, whatever their answer may be.
