Before the events of The Hobbit brainstorm, Thorin and Gandalf accept a individual discussion, during which the Dwarf leader considers the thought of taking back his family heritage from the dragon Smaug. The Grey Sorcerer suggests adding Bilbo Baggins of the Shire to the roster, and thus the immature hobbit's adventures finally brainstorm.

After contesting confronting wood spiders and spending a night with a bear human (Beorn), the final move of Thorin and Company is to agree the Lonely Mountain against unforeseen invaders. Not everyone has a happy ending though. So, here is a short list that explains the fate of each Dwarf later on the Battle of V Armies.

10 The Deaths Of Thorin Two Oakenshield & His Nephews

When Smaug is killed (by Bard the Bowman of Dale), Thorin reneges on his promises to Lake-Town and tries to hoard all of the Solitary Mountain's wealth. Addicted to this newfound treasure, he discards the wise words of Gandalf, and calls his comrades to arms in order to defend their "inheritance."

Unexpectedly, he is drawn into battle against a group of unexpected armies (goblins and wargs), and is seriously injured during the fight. His nephews, Fili and Kili, encounter the same fate as they try to protect him from the subsequent onrush.

9 Dain II Ironfoot Becomes Male monarch Under The Mountain

When Dain arrives at the Lonely Mountain, he brings with him an ground forces of 500 soldiers, each of them armed to the teeth and terrifyingly strong. When Thorin dies, however, Dain celebrates all those who were crucial in destroying the enemy, including presenting Lake-Town with Bilbo's 1/14th share of the advantage.

He is later crowned Rex under the Mountain, a prestigious honor only given to the rulers of Erebor (and, by extension, the head of all Dwarven clans that are descended from the line of Durin the Deathless, the first Dwarf always born.)

8 Oin's Grisly Fate

Many of the dwarves practice not live to encounter Frodo cure the world of evil, but Oin's death is really quite pitiful. In The Lord of the Rings, a tentacled animal attacks Frodo right before the Fellowship enters Moria, but he is thankfully rescued due to the others' quick response.

Sadly, Oin also encounters this fiend — the Watcher in the H2o — while trying to flee from the Moria Orcs who had taken over their original homeland. Information technology is as yet unknown where this affair came from, or fifty-fifty what it is, but it did manage to pull Oin into the h2o.

vii Balin, Lord Of Moria

Long before Frodo bravely strolls into Sauron's lair, Balin takes a grouping of patriotic dwarves in order to reestablish their authority over Moria. While he is, technically, a contender to the throne, his "colony" was non large plenty for him to be referred to as the king.

Withal, his governance (or whatever it is called) comes to an sharp stop a few decades later on constant fighting in the darkest reaches of Moria, and Balin in finally killed by the Orcs at present swarming at that place. The Fellowship detect his tomb as they take the Moria shortcut, where they also find out exactly what transpired by reading the Volume of Mazarbul.

six Ori And The Book Of Mazarbul

The depths of Moria are no less terrifying than the vast expanse of Mordor, which makes for a rather lonely identify to spend the concluding days of i's life. Ori, along with the others mentioned above, is one of those unfortunate characters, and the last of Thorn's company to die before the War of the Ring.

He is the scrollkeeper of sorts, jotting downwards diverse of import events, his group's experiences, too as his final thoughts in the Book of Mazarbul. In fact, Ori's corpse is shown to be property on to the book before Gandalf takes it away.

5 Dwalin Is The Oldest Dwarf

Dwalin survives the Battle of 5 armies, but after their victory, he chooses to remain behind in the Lonely Mount rather than get to Moria (like his brother, Balin.) He continues to live in Erebor for the residue of his life, which goes on for a shockingly long time, given his cohorts average life expectancy.

Dwarves are said to live for about 250 years, existence the children of Aule the Vala, only Dwalin apparently dies when he is 340 years old. This is most likely a tape for the oldest Dwarf to e'er alive in Eye-globe.

4 Gloin At The Quango Of Elrond

Gloin is the father of Gimli, 1 of the crucial members of the Fellowship, and the only one of Thorin's group to have met with Frodo. This event takes place at the Council of Elrond at Rivendell (during which the terminal selection is made for the 8 individuals who are to accompany Frodo on his journey to Mordor.)

He tells the bearer of the One Ring most everything that had happened in Erebor afterward the Battle of Five Armies, including that of his cousin Balin'southward steadfast decision to restore Moria back in the easily of the Dwarves.

3 Dis Is the Merely Known Dwarf-Woman

The deaths of Fili and Kili are a painful blow to all Dwarves, especially because of the honorable manner in which they sacrificed their lives to save their dying leader. As a tribute to their backbone, their female parent, Dis — who also happens to be Thorin'south sister — is the but dwarf-woman to receive a mention in the story.

Interestingly, however, dwarf-women are said to be practically indistinguishable from their male counterparts, having a flowing beard and garbed in very similar wear.

2 Bombur's Physical Change

Bombur is not actually interested in the quest, choosing instead to eat, beverage, and sleep whenever he gets the take chances. He is, indeed, a brave warrior, and becomes a dangerous combatant if really pushed, just his relaxed demeanor ofttimes gets him in trouble. For instance, he gets himself enchanted with a sleep charm, forcing his compatriots to drag his unconscious trunk along.

Yet, it looks like Bombur has a rather cushy life after everything settled down, as Frodo finds out that he had put on then much weight that it required the assistance of multiple people to carry him from one place to another.

one Bifur, Bofur, Dori, Nori Live Happily (?) Always Later on

Four of the Dwarves are confirmed to still be live during the War of the One Ring, or at least in its initial stages. Bifur and Bofur are probably cloistered away in the Lone Mountain, preferring to spend time with their riches than go another adventure again.

On the other mitt, Dori and Nori may have gotten involved in the Battle of Dale, a major war between the Ereborean Dwarves and the Easterlings allied with Sauron, but there are no tales regarding when (or if) they died.
