Erebor

Erebor biome is a small biome situated around the lonely mountain which was released as a terrain generation in beta 23.

it is a mountainous biome with lots of pine or spruce trees. It currently features mainly just hill biomes although in the future it will be populated with durin's folk and the bardings or people of dale. It isn't the most entertaining biome to visit at the moment but in the future will be great. As far as we know it has normal ore generation however this may change due to the fact it was supposedly a great place for gold and jewels To be mined. Hopfully it will be better in future but for know please just sit there being blowing away by the lonely mountains generation. Currently no mobs spawn here

History

Erebor was a dwarven Kingdom founded by Thrain the first, a dwarven Lord from the grey mountains. At first it was just a very rough settlement but soon after the discovery of gold and gems throughout the mountain the kingdom began to flourish, and in the miness they found it the heart of the mountain, the arkenstone Thrain Named it the Kings jewel as a sign of his right to rule. But later the kingdom was abandoned for many years. But Thrain desendant thror returned with a great host durin's folk to the mountain reclaiming the Kings jewel and the mountain flourished bringing peace and trade to all the lands near, esgaroth, dale, the woodland realm and dorwinion all flourished under thrors rule. But soon after darkness came on these lands and thror became oppsessed by his hoard of treasure. One windy day, they heard the pines creaking on the mountain side it seemed like a hurricane but no it wasn't it was smaug the chiefest and greatest of calamities. He passed dale and many feared for there lives, many good archers there were in the city but all of them failed to hit the dragon And so he proceeded to storm Erebor desecrating th ere sacred halls and amounting himself a pile of treasure so enormous he lay in it like a bed, thror and his son Thrain II escaped with singed beards, the great kingdom was lost. Eventually the mountain was taken back by throras brave grandson Thorin Oakenshield he led a party of 13 dwarves a hobbit (Bilbo) there burglar, and a wizard Gandalf. They braved many perils and came upon the mountain. They teased and riddled in smaug resulting in him destroying the nearby city of esgaroth but the descendends of Girion Lord of sale still dwelt there and bard his grandson smote down the beast. After there was a great battle for the mountain and the gold between elves men, dwarves led by Dain II and orcs led by bolg of the mountains. In the end the orcs were defeated by the coalition of good armies and Thorin was killed and buried with deep within the mountain and Dain Ironfoot became there king.
