Character

Thorin III Stonehelm was a dwarven Lord of the Iron Hills (presumably), King of Durin's Folk, and King under the Mountain.

History Edit

Thorin III was the son and heir of Dáin II Ironfoot of Durin's Folk, who was lord of the Dwarves of Erebor and the Iron Hills in Wilderland. The origins of his epithet Stonehelm are unknown.

He became King under the Mountain when his father Dáin was killed during the War of the Ring in 3019. Thorin III helped rebuild Erebor and Dale, and prospered. His realm became a close ally of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor of King Elessar.

During his rule Gimli, son of Glóin, led a number of dwarves south to Aglarond, where a new kingdom was settled. Also during his rule mining for mithril in Moria slowly began again, although Moria was not yet permanently settled.

Thorin III had an heir, who was held to be the reincarnation of Durin the Deathless, and who succeeded him at his death as Durin VII the Last.
