Long Peak was a mountain and a dwarven colony of the same name situated in the Ered Mithrin. T.A. 2578 the Dragon Angûrth stormed the gates of Long Peak and took the Dwarven hold. The Dwarves proved stouter foes than he had anticipated. One group stubbornly resisted his might long enough for most of the colony to escape; Angurth was wounded, but prevailed in the end. Furious, he sook to do further injury to the Dwarves and thereby increase his treasure.
