![]() King Brand of Dale was at war with Easterlings along the River Carnen, but they defeated him and he retreated back to Dale where he was given aid by Dáin and an army of Dwarves. Īfter many months war came to Erebor in the Battle of Dale. Dáin told him to give him time to think and for many weeks he pondered until he sent Glóin and his son Gimli to Elrond for council, and to warn Bilbo of the enemy looking for him. In return for information Dáin would be given the last three Dwarf-rings. 3018, a messenger came from Mordor, enquiring about a creature named " Baggins" from " Shire". It was only later learned the colony was destroyed after five years. Dáin did not give the expedition his blessing, and could not dissuade them. Balin set out with several others to reclaim Moria in T.A. For the Dwarves of Erebor now exceeded all their ancestors in the art of masonry and mining, and created many beautiful things in Dale. The town of Dale was rebuilt and its border stretched far to the South and East and the friendship between the Elves of Mirkwood, Men of Dale, and Dwarves of Erebor was close, especially between the Men and Dwarves. King under the Mountain ĭuring his reign as king, he became exceedingly rich and his people were very prosperous. As his "rightful heir," Dáin succeeded Thorin as King under the Mountain, and King of all of Durin's folk. Thorin was killed in the battle, as were his sister-sons Kíli and Fíli. They all united against the common enemy, and so was fought the Battle of Five Armies in the valley of Dale. They were originally intent on driving off the Elves and Men, but Gandalf arrived to inform them of the approaching Orcs and Wargs. ĭáin responded to Thorin's call and set out with more than five hundred dwarves, well armed and experienced. Because his company of thirteen could not hold the mountain, Thorin sent for Dáin. Thorin claimed the entire hoard and proclaimed himself King under the Mountain, but both Bard and the Elven king Thranduil longed for compensation of their suffering caused by the Dragon. The dragon was slain, though by Bard of Lake-town and not by Thorin's company. Nearly a hundred years later, King Thorin, the son of Thráin II, set out on a journey to reclaim Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, which had been usurped by the Dragon Smaug. ĭuring his reign his people became the strongest in Wilderland, being the only realm capable to resist Sauron if he dared come North and retake the realm of Angmar and the northern passes of the Misty Mountains. Lord of the Iron Hills ĭáin returned to the Halls of Grór with his people, and with his father dead, became Lord of the Iron Hills at his grandfather's death in T.A. But Dáin dissuaded him, because he alone looked past the gate into Moria, and had the wisdom to know that it was impossible for Durin's folk to return at that time because of Durin's Bane. He was a very young Dwarf at thirty-two at the time, and it was heralded as a magnificent feat.Īfter the battle King Thráin II wanted to enter Moria as his own. He tried to escape back inside, but he was followed by Dáin who with his red axe, hewed off his head before the doors of the East-Gate. However, all across the valley, his troops were in retreat. He darted from the dwarf's blows, and when the warrior stumbled, Azog hewed and broke his neck. But Náin was weary and filled with anger, and Azog strong and agile. Fresh and well equipped, they drove through the Orc forces, until at last Náin confronted Azog. Náin and his son Dáin arrived late in the battle, but proved pivotal. There, the Battle of Azanulbizar raged before the gate of the ancient Dwarf stronghold. He summoned all available Dwarves, and sacked every Orc stronghold in the Misty Mountains, battling his way to Moria. ![]() After the murder of Thrór by Azog in T.A.
