Finding and Navigating Eastern Mountain Strongholds

Follow Road Systems and Waypoints

To explore the territories of the Eastern Dwarves, travel toward the eastern mountain ranges of Middle-earth. As you reach the rugged peaks, look for constructed road systems traversing the terrain. Following these mountain roads will guide you reliably between regional waypoints, remote outposts, and clan settlements. Make sure to discover regional waypoints along your path, as unlocking them allows you to easily track your location across the vast eastern mountains.

Locate Strongholds and Smithies

Keep watch across the eastern crags for fortified mountain strongholds. Both Eastern Dwarf clans construct expansive stone fortresses embedded directly into the peaks:

• Scan high cliffs for stone parapets and fortified gates guarding clan settlements.
• Follow stone roadways directly into internal courtyards to locate active smithy workshops.
• Observe the banners and guards stationed outside. Red Mountains strongholds harbor friendly defenders, while Wind Mountains fortresses house armored defenders aligned with dark forces.
• Use discovered strongholds as central staging grounds for gathering specialized items and stocking supplies before venturing deeper into the peaks.
