Durin's Axe was an ancient heirloom of the Dwarves of the House of Durin. It was the axe of Durin the Deathless, the eldest of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves and the progenitor of the Longbeards of Khazad-dûm.
History[]
Durin's Axe remained in Khazad-dûm after it was deserted in 1981 of the Third Age. In TA 2989, it was found again by Balin's expedition, and then lost in TA 2994 when the Dwarf-colony was destroyed. The account of Balin's expedition, including the finding of the axe, was written down in the Book of Mazarbul prior to the colony's downfall. Balin claimed the axe as his own.
In the year TA 3019, the Fellowship of the Ring entered Moria, where they discovered the Book of Mazarbul and learned of Balin's fate.[1]
