The Red Mountains or Orocarni are located far east in the region of Rhun. There are 2 cities currently, one of which is called Bom Kuldihr and is located near the border of Rhun. The second city is called The Mountain and is located southeast of Bom Kuldihr. There is no official capital in this faction, although each of the clans have their own. The only clan with a leader is curently the Ironfist clan.

Brief History on orocarni:

Four of the seven Fathers of the Dwarves awoke in the range. After the end of the First Age the Orocarni remained, and ran through the center of the land of Rhûn. In the Second and Third Ages, they were home to the Dwarven clans of the Ironfists, Blacklocks, Stonefoots, and Stiffbeards. The Ironfists and Stiffbeards lived in the T-shaped northern half while the Blacklocks and Stonefoots lived in the backwards-C-shaped southern half. It is not explained by Tolkien who lives in the far-north, center-north, center-south, or far-south quarters. However, the most probable theory is that the Stiffbeards lived in the far-northern Orocarni, the Ironfists lived in the center-northern Orocarni, the Stonefoots lived in the center-southern Orocarni, and the Blacklocks lived in the far-southern Orocarni.[citation needed]

During his travels in Middle-earth, Oromë stood under the shadow of the Orocarni and from there he first heard the singing of the Elves in Cuiviénen thus finding the Firstborn of Eru Ilúvatar for the first time.[2]

Concerning Elven folk, the Dark Elves lived in the forests bordering these mountains, and likely had similar capital cities to the one of Lothlórien and the one of Mirkwood, and similar architecture, as well.

Because the Orocarni were far to the east, they were not visited by the Eldar, and the Edain did not reach them until the Fourth Age. The Orocarni do not appear in any of the tales of the Red Book of Westmarch. However, it is known that the mountains were extremely rich with every kind of mineral, bursting at the seams with them.
