KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN
QUICK BIO
BIOGRAPHY
Thrór is the son of Dáin I, Father of Thráin II and grandfather to Thorin. He was one of the Seven Dwarves to possess a Ring of Power.
Thrór became king in 2589 when a cold-drake killed his father and Frór. He returned to reoccupy Erebor as King Under the Mountain but many of his people followed his brother Grór to settle instead in the Iron Hills farther east.
Thrór and his people prospered in Erebor, and that was what attracted the dragon, Smaug. Thrór had also become possessed by the riches of the Mountain.
Thrór was the ruling king at the time of the discovery of the Arkenstone, which was a sign to his divine right to the throne.

Smaug attacked Erebor in 2770 and drove the Dwarves out.
Afterwards, Thrór and his people wandered abroad, becoming increasingly poor and desperate.
The King of Durin’s folk took an army to take back the homeland of Moria, and thus the battle of Azandlibizar commenced. During the battle, Azog beheaded him. And thus started The War of the Dwarves and Orcs.
Before his passing, Thrór passed onto Thráin a key and map, which detailed a secret entrance to Erebor. This was then handed down to Thorin before the Company started the Quest in Hobbiton.
