Location: [13.8S, 103.2W]
Thorin's Gate is the largest dwarven settlement in the Blue Mountains. The intricate gate serving as the entrance to Thorin's Hall is located in Thorin's Gate. Thráin, Thorin's father, named the gates of these halls after his eldest son, Thorin Oakenshield, long before the city itself was known as Thorin's Hall. Thorin's Gate can be found in northwestern Ered Luin to the north of Vale of Thrain.

Thorin's Gate, with the inclusion of Thorin's Hall, is both a settlement and an area and contains several landmarks within its borders. Thorin's Gate is the Starter Area for new elf and dwarf characters. Once the Introduction Quests are complete dwarf players arrive in this area, while elves are sent to Celondim. The remains of the Refuge of Edhelion visited as the Starter Area of the elves is to the northeast. The Mine Foreman and Crates of Ore are located within Thorin's Gate along with the Stable-master and Reflecting Pool. All other services are sheltered from the elements inside Thorin's Hall. The dwarven homes, Thorin's Hall Homesteads, are found in the southwest of Thorin's Gate.

Lore

Dwarf characters new to Middle-earth will begin their grand adventures here in the Ered Luin, within Thorin's Halls and down into the darkness of the nearby Silverdeep Mines. The region, situated along the western shores of Middle-earth, not far from the Grey Havens of the Elves, and also quite close to the Shire of the Hobbits, is designed as a vibrant crossroads of many of Middle-earth's diverse races. The Ered Luin, also known as the Blue Mountains, is an area rich in the history of Middle-earth, figuring prominently throughout the ages, however, there are very few adventures documented in detail here within The Lord of the Rings books, making it a perfect place for new players to discover never-before-experienced regions as they begin their exploration of the lands.
