Erebor is still the lonely mountain. Uruk Highlands were added there to add some spice to the world and because it wasn't too contradicting lore. I found no lore references indicating inhabitation of the upper reaches of the River Running by men in the first half of the SA, ancestors of the Rohirrim inhabited northern Rhovanion at the time and there was no clear candidate orcish faction to use the Isengard faction. I had set myself the goal to use as many biomes as possible and place TA factions and biomes in areas where they would optimally spice up the SA experience while not conflicting with lore. This made me add a lot of new features where the lore left white spots, predominantly in the east, as you may have noticed.
