[Khazâd-dûm] Ered Luin Spearmen (AoR) image - DCI: Last Alliance mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Ered Luin, the Blue Mountains, was where the fathers of both Firebeards and Broadbeams once awoke, and their peoples history there was both glorious and grievous. At the end of the First Age the world changed, the mountain range ended up at the western border of the world and during that upheaval the great mansions of Nogrod and Belegost were destroyed. Most left to swell the population of Khazad-dûm in the east, but certainly not all. In the Blue Mountains Dwarves remained, mostly in the part south of the Gulf of Lune, mining for coal or metals. While these parts were fairly peaceful the need for defence still remained on occasion, and for this task the spearmen stand proud.
The spear is not a common weapon among the Khazâd, but its use was noted when their forefathers crafted spears for the Sindar in the First Age, as against foes out in the open it is an advantage to increase the reach of a soldier. Clad in armour and carrying a broad shield for extra protection they make up a respectable line, especially against beasts and hostile riders.
