His rule was one of great prosperity, but it came to an end in the War of the Ring, when he fell in the Battle of Dale. Thorin was the last of Thrór's line, and after he fell in the Battle of Five Armies, Dáin (as the grandson of Thrór's brother Grór) inherited the title of King and the rule of Durin's Folk. The ruler of the Dwarves of the Iron Hills, Dáin had been called to the Lonely Mountain by Thorin to help him establish his rule. Ruled from III 2941 to III 3019 ( 78 years) Thorin's Company succeeded in driving out the Dragon and re-occupied Erebor, but Thorin was slain in the Battle of Five Armies that followed. He became determined to recover the Kingdom under the Mountain, and with the guidance of the Wizard Gandalf he assembled a small group of Dwarves, accompanied by a 'burglar': Bilbo Baggins. Ruled in Erebor briefly in III 2941 (less than one year)Īfter the loss of Thrór and Thráin II, Thrór's grandson Thorin took up the rule of Durin's Folk in exile. It was Thrór's grandson Thorin II (better known as Thorin Oakenshield) who would eventually reclaim the Kingdom under the Mountain for the Dwarves.
Thrór himself attempted to return to Moria, where he met a violent death, and his successor Thráin II also came to an untimely end as a captive in the pits of Dol Guldur. While Smaug remained in Erebor, the Dwarves wandered the wilds of Middle-earth, eventually settling in the Blue Mountains westward of the Shire. (171 years between III 2770 and III 2941) Descending on the Lonely Mountain, Smaug drove the Dwarves into exile once again. Under Thrór's rule, Erebor became fabulously wealthy, but fame of its riches reached the Dragon Smaug. The new King Thrór led a great part of his people back to Erebor, and re-established the Kingdom under the Mountain (while other Dwarves followed his brother Grór to found a new realm among the Iron Hills). The time of the Dwarves in the Grey Mountains came to an end with the slaying of King Dáin I by a Dragon within a year, Durin's Folk had departed from their dwellings there. Ruled in Erebor from III 2590 to III 2770 ( 180 years) After Thorin I, these Kings were Glóin, Óin, Náin II and Dáin I. (380 years between III 2210 and III 2590)ĭurin's line continued unbroken through these years, but the Kings of Durin's Folk ruled from the Grey Mountains, and so there was no King under the Mountain during this period. Many of his people were gathering in the rich Grey Mountains to the northwest, and so after just twenty years as King under the Mountain, Thorin abandoned Erebor and re-established the seat of the Kings among his people in Ered Mithrin. Thorin inherited the Kingdom under the Mountain from his father, but did not remain there long. Ruled in Erebor from III 2190 to III 2210 ( 20 years) There Thráin became the first King under the Mountain, and ruled for nearly two hundred years. Forced from their ancient home by Durin's Bane, Thráin and his people wandered in Middle-earth for some eighteen years, until they founded a new Kingdom beneath Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. The son of the last King of Khazad-dûm, Náin I. Ruled from III 1999 to III 2190 ( 191 years)
