This homestead is located inside Erebor, with an acces from The Dwelling-Halls near the Jewelstead.
The Town Square:
As with all the other housing estates in Middle Earth, the Erebor neighborhood contains many basic goods and services in a central area of the village.
This includes a vault-keeper, auctioneer, forge and relic masters, supplier, healer, home furnisher, task boards and collection boxes, and crafting stations. In addition, there is a housing broker here which will make visiting other neighborhoods quite convenient!
