The One Wiki to Rule Them All
This article is about the King of Khazad-dûm. For the other namesakes, see Thráin (disambiguation).

Thráin I, also known as Thráin the Old, was the son of Náin I and King of Durin's Folk, as well as the first King under the Mountain.

Biography[]

After Thráin's father was slain by the Balrog known as Durin's Bane, as his grandfather Durin VI had been killed the year before, Thráin I fled Khazad-dûm with the remainder of his people, succeeding Náin as King of Durin's Folk. Thráin led his people to the Lonely Mountain, where he established the Kingdom under the Mountain in TA 1999. He was succeeded as king by his son Thorin I upon his death in TA 2190.[1]

In adaptations[]

In The Lord of the Rings Online, Thráin I appears in a flashback narrating the history of Fram and Scatha. It was he who received the necklace of Scatha's teeth after laying claim to the dragon's treasure, becoming greatly enraged at Fram's affront.
