» Erebor ✧ Mines ✧
"Erebor's deep mines are centuries old, having been begun by Thorin's ancestors as they mined the quartz veins containing gold and precious jewels in the green marble of the Lonely Mountain. The Dwarves turned their mines into architectural masterpieces and moved into them as they tunneled, but even in the days of Thrór there are still active mines. The Mountain's deep roots hide riches yet to be uncovered." - Dan Hennah, Production Designer
