After the death of Thorin in
They all united against the common enemy, and so was fought the Battle of Five Armies in the valley of Dale. Thorin was killed in the battle, as were his sister-sons Kíli and Fíli. As his "rightful heir," Dáin succeeded Thorin as King under the Mountain, and King of all of Durin's folk.
Nope. Thorin, Fili, and Kili were the male heirs of the first line of Durin, the dominant line. They were the ones in line for the crown and the kingship, in that order. When they died, the first line of Durin was extinguished, but not the line altogether.
Dwalin later fought in and survived the Battle of Five Armies along with several others from the company (all but Thorin and Fíli and Kíli). Afterwards he received his fourteenth share and chose to live in Erebor under the rule of Thorin's cousin and new king after his death, Dáin II.
Thráin II is driven mad with grief when Smaug overruns his forces. Although he is assumed to be dead, Thorin does not find his father's body among the fallen in Moria.
Though Gimli has no children, he is not the last Dwarf of Middle-earth. After the fall of Sauron, his people continued to thrive in the Lonely Mountain. Gimli made his home in Rohan, in the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, and many of his kinsfolk came with him.
Balin, Ori, and Óin
In the Mines of Moria, the Company discovers what has become of them: Balin, Lord of Moria, died in Dimrill Dale when an Orc shot him from behind a stone as he stood looking in the Mirrowmere.
As in the book, the Arkenstone is given by Bilbo (who, it is revealed, recovered it during his escape from Smaug) to Thranduil and Bard, in order to try to force Thorin to yield a share of the treasure. In the extended edition of the film, it was placed upon Thorin's chest following his death.
It told how Balin discovered Durin's Axe, and established a small colony, but it was overrun by orcs and Balin was killed by an orc archer in Dimrill Dale. Thus he died in the same place as his father, having been self-proclaimed Lord of Moria for less than five years.
At only the age of seven, he fled his home and dodged the destruction of the dragon he would eventually confront once again, Smaug. At the end of the novel, The Hobbit, Balin has formed such a great relationship with Bilbo that he is the only dwarf to visit him with Gandalf a second time.
However, Thorin never married nor had any children. The young dwarf king led his people out of Dunland and they finally re-established their home in the Blue Mountains. His younger sister, Dis, later gave birth to two children, Fíli and Kíli.
2022: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power:
Prince Durin IV is portrayed by Owain Arthur as one of the central characters of the series. In the series, he is portrayed as the prince of Khazad-dûm and son of Durin III. In addition, his wife is named Disa.
Aftermath. With the Dwarven colony destroyed, Moria continued to be a place of evil that few dared enter. By TA 3019, King Dáin II had become concerned at the lack of news from Moria, and Glóin was sent to the Council of Elrond partly to ascertain news of the colony.
Thrór was murdered as he entered the East-gate of Moria, leading to the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Even after the end of the War, many Dwarves refused to reclaim Moria, partially because of the Durin's Bane. Years later however, the Dwarves managed to reclaim the Lonely Mountain.
"Erebor", specifically the southern spurs of the Mountain and Dale, is a playable map in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II. It has three gates, including the one Tolkien described and two which cannot be closed, to allow those playing as invading forces to easily enter the stronghold.
Balin gained respect for Bilbo's abilities, and was the only dwarf who volunteered to accompany Bilbo down the secret passage to Smaug's chamber. Of all the Dwarves in the quest, Balin was the only one known to have visited Bilbo at Bag End after their quest for the Lonely Mountain.
There had been no communication from Moria for quite some time, but no one knew exactly what had happened there, or why the colony had gone silent. Gandalf definitely did not know about the Balrog, or even about the orc attacks that had sent Balin and all who were with him to an early grave.
Did All The Dwarves Die In Moria? While six have perished, seven dwarves from The Hobbit are still alive when The Lord of the Rings begins, only one of which actually appears in the movies.
So, Smaug was NOT the last dragon in Middle-earth. However, he was probably (in Tolkien's mind) the last GREAT dragon in Middle-earth.
The Lonely Mountain and the dwarfs are mentioned on the Lord of the Rings book but not shown in the movie. Peter Jackson has altered the story quite a bit, but also the movies couldn't be 10 hours long each; he had to cut some stuff out. The Lonely Mountain is one of them.
Thorin was determined to get the treasure back. He especially wanted the Arkenstone, the Heart of the Mountain, which was an heirloom of the dwarves' Kingdom.
The Dwarves dug too deep, greedy for mithril, and disturbed a demon of great power: a Balrog, which destroyed their kingdom. By the end of the Third Age, Moria had long been abandoned by the Dwarves, and was a place of evil repute. It was dark, in dangerous disrepair, and in its labyrinths lurked Orcs and the Balrog.
Bolg was the son of Azog, succeeding his father as a prominent leader of the northern Orcs after Azog was killed by Dáin Ironfoot at the Battle of Azanulbizar in Third Age 2799.
After the fall of Sauron, Thranduil fixed the southern boundary of his realm as the Mountains of Mirkwood, and his realm flourished well into the Fourth Age. He may have stayed on as the king of the Great Forest or left Middle-earth and departed to the Undying Lands.
