The Ered Luin refers to the Blue Mountains - a mountain range from J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece of fantastical landscapes - Middle Earth. The Blue Mountains are the home to the Dwarves, as well as some Elves, (who live nearby in the Grey Havens). This piece is intended to be a video game cue and was inspired by Chance Thomas' score for the Lord of the Rings Online.
