Elu Thingol (also known as Elwë Singollo) was the King of Doriath and father of Lúthien. King Fingon was Turgon's elder brother.Īfter the death of Fingolfin, their father, Fingon inherited the Kingship over his father's realm Hithlum, and the High Kingship over all Noldor in Middle-Earth. It might have been the sword of Ecthelion of the Fountain, who slew and was slain by Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs. Thorin's sword also came out of Gondolin but its owner was not identified. He had perished in the Fall of Gondolin and presumably his sword had been taken as loot and somehow found its way out of Beleriand. Turgon's daughter had been the grandmother of Elrond. Gandalf's sword had been the sword of King Turgon of Gondolin, Elrond's great-grandfather. Elrond recognised the craftmanship of the Noldorin of Gondolin, from whom he was descended. The swords of Gandalf and Thorin were identified as 'Glamdring', the 'Foe-Hammer' (which the Orcs called 'Beater') and 'Orcrist', the 'Orc-Cleaver'(which Orcs called 'Biter'). Moria features more prominently in "The Lord of the Rings". He used it to defend himself against enemy blows. In the battle at Moria, Thorin gained his surname 'Oakenshield', hewing an oak branch of a tree after his shield was split.
The Dwarves promptly responded by going to war. Thrór returned to Moria but was killed by the orc 'Azog'. They had been driven out by a Balrog long ago. Moria had been another ancient fortress of Thrór's people, the House of Durin. The company passes it on their way to Erebor and Smaug eventually comes out to destroy it. Originally it had been built on the shores of the lake but was abandoned for a safer town in the lake itself. Esgaroth had been a township at the Long Lake, a bit further away. Smaug eventually destroyed it, and its lord, Girion of Dale, was killed. Great treasure was horded there not only the immense treasure the Dwarves already had possessed, but also loot which Smaug gathered during his long years. Smaug had taken it during the reign of Thorin's grandfather Thrór. Led Durin's Folk back to Khazad-dûm.The Dwarves' intent was to drive the dragon Smaug out of their ancient mountain stronghold in Erebor. Possibly the son of Thorin III Stonehelm. The son of Dáin II Ironfoot, he succeeded his father during the siege of the Lonely Mountain and ruled in the aftermath of the War of the Ring. He died during the Battle of Dale in TA 3019. The son of Náin and second cousin of Thorin II Oakenshield, Dáin II Ironfoot succeeded Thorin II in TA 2941. He was killed shortly afterward in the Battle of Five Armies along with his nephews Fíli and Kíli. Thorin II Oakenshield was briefly restored to the throne in TA 2941 after the death of Smaug. The son of Thráin II, he succeeded his father in TA 2850 as de jure king. The son of Thrór, he succeeded his father in TA 2790 as de jure king, and died a prisoner in Dol Guldur in TA 2850. In TA 2770 Smaug conquered the Lonely Mountain and forced King Thrór and the surviving Dwarves into exile and became the de facto king until his death. In TA 2770 with the coming of Smaug, King Thrór was forced into exile until he was later murdered in Moria by Azog in TA 2790. He returned to the Lonely Mountain following the death of his father Dáin I in TA 2589, he re-founded the Kingdom. The Dwarves settled in the Grey Mountains to the north west. The son of Thráin I, he abandoned the Lonely Mountain in TA 2210. He founded the first kingdom in the Lonely Mountain and discovered the Arkenstone.
