Lord Of The Rings Erebor
In The Lord of the Rings, the name 'Erebor' occurs only once in the main narrative text: in chapter 9, book V of The Return of the King ('The Last Debate'); it is also found once in the Prologue, in the summary of The Hobbit. The Lonely Mountain is the goal of the protagonists in The Hobbit, and the scene of the climax.
In Fellowship at the Council of Elrond, Gloin talks about how the Kingdom under the Mountain, under Dain, has renewed its wealth and riches as of old. Dale has been rebuilt and Brand, grandson of Bard, is king there. A glimpse in the wealth of the area can be found at Bilbo's party, where many of the toys he gives out to children are from Dale, and of 'real dwarf-make'.
At the time of Fellowship, though Balin, Ori and Oin have been lost in Moria, the ten companions of the Quest still remain (and Bombur is so fat that it takes six young dwarves to carry him around)Not all is well in paradise, though- in the opening year of LOTR, a messenger (probably a Nazgul) comes to speak with Kings Dain and Brand, offering rich reward and the return of Moria (which they now suspect to have lost), along with one of the Seven, for news or capture of 'Baggins', who Sauron has guessed was known to the Dwarves. Dain refuses to answer this offer twice - the third and final offer comes before the end of the year and, we guess, was rejected.For in War of the Ring, Sauron struck at Dale and the Mountain with Orcs and Easterlings, before he attacked Minas Tirith. We know little of the battle there save that they were repulsed, but King Brand was slain and Dain fell wielding his axe mightily in his great age, defending the body of Brand.After the return of the King, Thorin III Stonehelm took over the Kingship. The gates of Minas Tirith, broken by Grond and the Witch-King, were reforged in steel and mithril by the Dwarves, and (if I recall correctly) the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, near Helm's Deep, were visited by Dwarves led by Gimli, who shaped and cultivated their natural beauty.
