The Blue Mountains Warriors are the fighting force of the Blue Mountains, otherwise known as Ered Luin. The only places they naturally spawn is in Blue Mountains Strongholds and in the Blue Dwarven mines.
Behaviour[]
Blue Mountains Warriors, like most NPC's, will attack any NPC or player with a negative alignment to the Blue Mountains faction. Be very careful when fighting them, however; they have strong armour, and a group of them in a confined space can quickly overwhelm a player.

| Spear | 4-5 |

| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Very strong armour | No ranged attack |
| Powerful melee attack | Won't attack evil Men unless provoked |
| Good health; capable of taking down Uruk-Hai | Like their eastern kin, they sometimes spawn with mattocks that slightly lower their damage |
| Easier to obtain than Dwarf Warriors, because the Blue Mountains aren't as out of the way
Low alignment requirement for their real value and very low cost as well |
