Dale was rebuilt under Bard's leadership, and Dwarves and Men reforged their friendship. With the restoration of the Kingdom under the Mountain the area became prosperous again. The title of King under the Mountain passed to Dáin. During this battle, Thorin's nephews Fíli and Kíli were killed, and Thorin himself was mortally injured he died shortly afterwards. Dwarves, Elves, and Men joined ranks against them, which led to the Battle of Five Armies. However before any battle began, an army of Orcs and Wargs descended on Erebor. Thorin, mad with greed, refused all claims and sent word to his second cousin Dáin II Ironfoot, chief of the Dwarves of the Iron Hills, who brought reinforcements to the aid of Thorin and Company. However, the Men of Esgaroth, supported by Thranduil and the Elves of Mirkwood, marched in force to the mountain to demand a part of the dragon's hoard as recompense for the destruction. During this attack Smaug was killed by Bard the Bowman Thorin claimed the mountain on learning of Smaug's demise. Smaug, enraged by the theft, emerged from the mountain and flew south to destroy Lake-town, which he thought to be the source of the "thieves". By a fortunate coincidence, this happened soon after Bilbo and the Dwarves arrived, and the Hobbit was able to enter the mountain and steal a golden cup. On Durin's Day, when the setting sun and the last moon of autumn were in the sky together, the day's last sunlight would fall on the door and expose its keyhole so that it could be unlocked. They planned to use the secret door, whose key and map Gandalf had managed to obtain from Thráin, whom he had found at the point of death in the pits of Dol Guldur. īilbo, Thorin, and Thorin's company of twelve other Dwarves travelled to the Lonely Mountain to regain the treasure.
KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN SONG HOBBIT PROFESSIONAL
Gandalf insisted that burglary was the best approach and recommended the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, whom he represented to be a professional thief.
Together they formed a plan to reclaim the mountain. Although Thrór and Thráin later perished, Thorin lived in exile in the Ered Luin, far to the west. King Thrór, his son Thráin II, and several companions escaped death by a secret door. Smaug then took over the mountain, using the dwarves' hoard as a bed. In the Third Age, while the young Thorin II Oakenshield was out hunting, the dragon Smaug flew south from the Grey Mountains, killed all the dwarves he could find, and destroyed the town of Dale. Under Thrór's reign, Erebor became a great stronghold where the dwarves became numerous and prosperous, well known for the making of matchless weapons and armour. After dragons plundered their hoards, the Longbeards, led now by Thrór, a descendant of Thorin, returned to Erebor to take up the title King under the Mountain. His son, Thorin I, left the mountain with much of the Folk of Durin to live in the Ered Mithrin (Grey Mountains) on account of the great riches to be found in that range.
The Kingdom under the Mountain was founded by Thráin I the Old, who discovered the Arkenstone there. Dale, a town of Men built between the two southern spurs of Erebor, grew in harmony with the dwarves. In the latter days of the Third Age, this Kingdom under the Mountain held one of the largest dwarvish treasure hoards in Middle-earth. Origins of the Kingdom under the Mountain Įrebor became the home of the Folk of Durin, a clan of Dwarves known as the Longbeards, after they were driven from their ancestral home of Khazad-dûm. The whole mountain was perhaps ten miles in diameter it contained fabulous lodes of gold and jewels. Tolkien's rendering of Thrór's map in The Hobbit shows it with six ridges stretching out from a central peak that was snowcapped well into spring. Erebor stood hundreds of miles from the nearest mountain range.
