Dwarven Homesteads

September 21, 2009 — lonehobbit

Stout, sturdy and often remote in their mountain homes, the proud race of the Dwarves is sadly often overlooked. Therefore it seems only just to start the series on the homesteads of the various races with them – give them their chance to shine!

Inside the Dwarven Homesteads.

The Dwarven Homesteads lie tucked away in the dwarf corner of Ered Luin. If you weren’t looking for them you would never guess that so many Dwarves were living in the mountain right under your feet!
Entering them you will feel the grandeur of Dwarven architecture encompassing you. But once you look around a little, you will see that the Dwarves have in fact managed to tuck away a little bit of every possible environment the distinguishing Dwarf might like into the homesteads! If you like the snowy mountain life, or the beauty of natural caves with glittering crystals, the homesteads will feel as homely to you as to the industrial Dwarf who likes to live in a city carved from the living rock.
There are even social facilities for gatherings and events, and of course a marketplace.
