 | - The Lonely Mountain is also known as Erebor.
- After he had attacked the dwarvish palace of Erebor and destroyed Dale, Smaug gathered all the treasure he could find into a huge heap. He was left alone by everyone for about 200 years before Bard shot and killed him.
- Erebor was the ancestral home of Thorin Oakenshield and his fellow dwarves related to long-dead King Durin, king of Moria, a mighty kingdom carved out of the Misty Mountains. Durin's people had been forced to flee Moria (Khazad-Dum) after they mistakenly dug up a deadly demon. When Smaug came along, it was the second time Thorin's people had had to flee their home!
