Durin II

Durin II was a King of Durin's Folk, who ruled between the late First Age and early Second Age.^{[note 1]}

Little else is known of his life, though he was thought by many Dwarves to be the reincarnation of the elder Durin I, being greatly like him in manner and appearance.^[1]

In adaptations[]

In The Lord of the Rings Online, Durin II appears briefly in a flashback sequence. He ruled in Gundabad during the early Second Age. He invited the Zhelruka dwarves to dwell in Gundabad after their own ancestral hall was destroyed during the late First Age, but the refugees have never made it to Gundabad, becoming lost in Ered Mithrin along their way.

Notes[]

↑ Durin I died before the end of the First Age, and Durin III lived in the Second Age, so Durin II could have lived in both or either.
