Dale is a city of the Northmen, situated between Erebor and Esgaroth. It was founded by the Northmen who lived near Erebor, probably to benefit from trade with the Dwarves in Erebor, who were seen as an ally.
Dale was destroyed when Smaug descended on the Dwarf-kingdom of Erebor. For one-hundred seventy-two years city lay in ruins, until the Battle of Five Armies. Later, Dale was refounded by Bard the Bowman, the descendant of its royal line.
