The One Wiki to Rule Them All

Grór was the founder of the Dwarven realm in the Iron Hills and its first lord.

Biography

Grór was born in Grey Mountains as the youngest of three sons born to Dáin I. His older brothers were Thrór and Frór. After the death of his father in TA 2589, he and his brother left the Grey Mountains and while Thrór went back to the Lonely Mountain, Grór went further into the east and in TA 2590 he established the Kingdom of the Dwarves in the Iron Hills. Two hundred years later, just before the Battle of Azanulbizar in TA 2799, he thought himself too old to go at age 237(physically approximately 68 years old), and instead sent his son Náin and grandson Dáin II, the king of the dwarves at the Iron Hills at the time of The Hobbit. Grór was indeed old, for he died not too long after in TA 2805.[1]
