Thorin I
Thorin I (Third Age Third Age 2035 – Third Age 2289, died aged 254) was the King of Durin's Folk for 99 years, succeeding his father, Thráin I, on his death in Third Age 2190. Thorin was the heir of Durin the Deathless being the great-grandson of Durin VI.
History
Thorin was born after his father Thráin had led the Dwarves of Moria away from Khazad-dûm and had founded the Kingdom under the Mountain in Erebor. Thorin himself became King under the Mountain in Third Age 2190. However, he heard that the majority of the remnants of Durin's Folk were now gathering in the Grey Mountains. In Third Age 2210 he decided to leave the Lonely Mountain and reunited its people with their brethren in the Grey Mountains, which were rich and largely unexplored.
Thorin I died in Third Age 2289, at the age of 254, and was succeeded by his son Glóin. His sixth great-grandson, Thorin II Oakenshield, was the much famed leader of the Quest of Erebor, which reclaimed the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug.
Etymology
Thorin's name is one from the Dvergatal. It means "Bold".
