'''Grór''' was the younger son of King [[Dáin I]], and younger brother of [[Frór]] and [[Thrór]]. When Thrór left the [[Iron Hills]] to reclaim the Kingdom of [[Erebor]], Grór remained behind, ruling over the majority of Durin's folk even if his brother was King. The murder of Thror resulted in the climatic [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] in the year 2799. It is very likely that Gror had learned of the death of his brother, although his age may have been a factor that kept him from participating in the war, as his death was in 2805, five years later.
