“It began long ago in a land far away to the east, the like of which you won’t find in the world today. There was the city of Dale, its markets known far and wide full of the bounties of fine and vale peaceful and prosperous. For this city lay befall the doors of the greatest kingdom in Middle-earth, Erebor. Stronghold of Thror, King under the Mountain and mightiest of the Dwarf-lords. Thror ruled with utter surety, never doubting his house will endure for his line lay secure in the lives of his son and grandson. Ah, Frodo, Erebor, built deep within the mountain itself. The beauty of this fortress city was legend. Its wealth lay in the earth in precious gems hue from rock and it great sheaths of gold running like rivers through stone.”
