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. Dáin was slain in that war, but the Kingdom under the Mountain survived, and the Dwarves still dwelt there as the Fourth Age dawned.After the murder of Thrór by Azog in T.A. His cousin Dáin Ironfoot, who had led the Dwarves of the Iron Hills, became the new lord of the Lonely Mountain, and ruled there as King Dáin II until the time of the War of the Ring. Thorin himself did not survive long enough to rebuild his grandfather's kingdom: he was slain in the Battle of Five Armies. It was Thrór's grandson Thorin Oakenshield who finally achieved this, with the help of the Wizard Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins. Eventually the wandering Dwarves settled far to the west, in the Ered Luin, where they plotted vengeance on the Dragon Smaug. News of that wealth reached ears of the Dragon Smaug, who descended on the Lonely Mountain and claimed it for himself: yet again the Longbeards were driven out of their home into the wilderness. In his time the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain reached the height of their wealth and fame. After King Dáin I was slain by a Dragon, his heir Thrór determined to lead the Longbeards back to Erebor, and refound the Kingdom under the Mountain. It is unclear whether the Lonely Mountain was completely abandoned at this time - it seems likely that at least some Dwarves remained - but the royal house was resettled in the far north, and remained there for five generations. Thráin's son Thorin I saw that most of his people were settling in the Grey Mountains, to the north and west of Erebor, and he moved the King's seat to be with his people there. The followers of Thráin I were the founding Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, but that first kingdom did not last long. There he founded a new Dwarf-kingdom beneath The Lonely Mountain, Erebor above the Long Lake. Their King, Náin I, had been slain by the Balrog, but his son Thráin I led many of the Longbeards away to the northeast. After dwelling there for many millennia, they were driven out by a Balrog, and scattered into the Wild as their ancient mansions fell into darkness. Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain The Longbeards of Erebor The original home of the Longbeards, the Dwarves of Durin's Folk, had been the majestic mountain-city of Khazad-dûm.
