Erebor, Stronghold of Thror - a city of Durin's folk
Posted an official thread on Reddit.

This Erebor is set several hundred years after the events of The Lord of the Rings*
The Lonely Mountain, known in Sindarin as Erebor, referred to both a mountain in northern Rhovanion and the subterranean Dwarven city contained within it. In the latter half of the Third Age, it became the greatest city in Middle-earth.
It was located northeast of Mirkwood, near the Grey Mountains, and was the source of the River Running.
In TA 2941, Bilbo Baggins and Thorin's company traveled to the Lonely Mountain to regain the treasure Smaug had stolen. Set into the side of the mountain was a secret door, five feet high and wide enough for three to walk through abreast. Gandalf had managed to obtain the door's key, which fit a keyhole which could be found only when the setting sun and the last moon of autumn (also known as Durin's Day) would mingle their light upon the keyhole. It took many days to find the door, and luckily for Thorin and Company, they did not arrive on Durin's Day so they had plenty of time to enter the mountain.
Smaug was eventually slain, shot out of the sky by a well-aimed arrow at his only weak spot by Bard the Bowman, a man of Lake-town and a descendant of Girion, the last King of Dale. He was later declared king of the restored Kingdom of Dale. Thorin thus reclaimed the mountain, but the elves of Mirkwood and men of Lake-town sought a part of the treasure, which Thorin refused to share. Dáin II Ironfoot came to Thorin's cousin, and the three races almost broke into war, until a host of Orcs and wolves attacked, eager to break the strength of all three kingdoms. Dwarves, elves, and men, together with the Eagles, battled the Orcs in what became known as the Battle of Five Armies. During the battle, Thorin was mortally injured, and the titles of King under the Mountain and King of Durin's Folk passed to Dáin.

This is gonna be the last update for a little while...
I've gone dead. I've tried countless of times to reach out to get some sort of assistance with this project, but it seams as if people aren't interested in helping out - and those who have reached out and wanted to help have never responded again.
Right now, I'm struggling with Dale - and I am reorganizing the interior of Erebor. I don't know how long it'll take till it's done, but if no help has come by the start of February then I'll leave this project. It's been fun though -- this also means, that I'll upload whatever is made of Erebor for download.
