Durin II
Durin II (lived sometime during the late First Age or early Second Age) was a King of Durin's folk and King of Khazad-dûm.
History
Like all Durins after Durin I he was given the name of the first Father of the Dwarves because he greatly resembled him in both appearance and manner. Indeed it was believed among the Dwarves that he was the reincarnation of Durin I, though whether this is possible is unclear.
Etymology
One account states that the name Durin was a word for "king" in the language of the Men of the North in the early Second Age.
Another account states that Durinn is one of the Dwarfs in the Dvergatal. The name means "Sleepy".
Theories
Robert Foster, author of The Complete Guide to Middle-earth, has suggested that this is the Durin named on the Doors of Durin of Moria, built around Second Age 750.
Portrayal in adaptations
2021: The Lord of the Rings Online:
Durin II appears briefly in a flashback sequence. He ruled in Gundabad during the early Second Age. He invited the Zhelruka dwarves to dwell in Gundabad after their own ancestral hall was destroyed during the late First Age, but the refugees have never made it to Gundabad, becoming lost in Ered Mithrin along their way.
