A group of players from the early access game Enshrouded has achieved an impressive feat by recreating the iconic city of Erebor, the home of the dwarves in The Hobbit. This ambitious project required the collaboration of 33 players who dedicated a total of 10,000 hours over 74 days. In total, 220 million blocks were mined and more than 15 million were placed to bring this monumental work to life.
A company with absolutely astonishing attention to detail
Erebor is not only known for being the home of the dragon Smaug, who destroyed the city and the nearby Dale, but it is also the key setting of the story that follows Bilbo Baggins and Thorin on their adventure to reclaim the lost treasure. The recreation includes fascinating details such as carved canyons, walkways, windows, stairs, and an imposing cathedral filled with treasures that represents the famous lair of Smaug.
This impressive reconstruction has been praised for its meticulousness and magnitude, suggesting a collective effort that surpasses the imaginable. Through a video accompanying the publication, viewers can explore this spectacular version of Erebor, complete with its vast corridors and an atmosphere that invites exploration of every corner of the underground city.
The author of the article also reflects on his own experience in Enshrouded, contrasting his small personal project, which consisted of a simple basement, with the titanic effort of this group of players. The Enshrouded community demonstrates how video games can bring people together and generate monumental creations through teamwork, making it clear that, although some projects may seem small, collaboration can lead to surprising and grand results.
