Biography

ᚦᛟᚱᛁᚾ ᛟᚨᚲᛖᚾᛊᚻᛁᛖᛚᛞ
King Under the Mountain

The leader of a once-great clan, which was decimated by the ire of an Emperor. Few remain, but those who do still call him King.

Raised as a prince in the hallowed halls of Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, Thorin wanted for nothing. His youth was spent playing with and watching over his younger siblings, Frerin and Dis, but even as a hatchling he was keen to shoulder his responsibilities as heir to the throne.

Though the intricacies of protocol and administration bored him, he dedicated himself to their study all the same. He learned to craft metal from both his parents in the royal forge, and took great pride in honing his craft. Similarly, he worked hard to master the harp and to memorise the traditional songs and melodies of his clan.

In time, as he grew into adulthood, he became an accomplished warrior and is capable with a wide variety of weaponry. His preference has always been for swords.

Then the Emperor came, and all fell to ash and ruin.

For years, Thorin led his clan as they searched to find a new home. He became a humble smith to provide for the dragons under his rule, which was a terrible blow to his pride, though at least they did not starve. He fought for them, and earned the title of Oakenshield. At last, after decades of wandering, long stints of hardship, and countless desperate struggles for survival, he found a place for them among the crystals of Dragonhome. While the rest of the clan settled into contentment and a new life in the Blue Mountains, so named for the colourful streaks of ore and gemstones found there, Thorin could not rest. Not while an Emperor had control over the Lonely Mountain.

He put together a Company of trusted warriors, and asked the mage Gandalf to find another dragon to join them so that they wouldn't have the misfortune of being numbered thirteen. Gandalf chose Bilbo: a mild-mannered Fae not accustomed to hardship or travel, but who nonetheless accompanied them. After many trials, during which Bilbo proved himself time and again to Thorin, the Company reached the Lonely Mountain itself.

They fought the Emperor and won with the unlikely assistance of the nearby Dale clan, the dragons of the dense bamboo Greenwood in the Windswept Plateau, and Thorin's relatives from the Iron Hills clan in the Emberglow Hearth.

Unfortunately for Thorin, his bloodline is cursed. Gold-sickness, as it is known, consumed his Grandfather: he spent his life amassing an enormous hoard under his mountain, and died there when the Emperor Smaug attacked because he could not bear to leave his treasure behind. Thorin's father, too, was tainted and lost his mind in the clan's long years of exile.

To Thorin's horror and heartbreak, he too succumbed at the moment of his greatest triumph: he turned on his friends and allies in a covetous rage, convinced that they were trying to steal the hoard he had reclaimed.

Thankfully, Bilbo and the Company helped him overcome the gold-sickness for long enough to leave the mountain and escape the lure of its treasures. However, should he ever return, he would risk being permanently overwhelmed by greed and malice.

Thorin therefore exiled himself.

Though he entrusted Erebor to a distant relative, one who doesn't suffer from the curse, and departed the Lonely Mountain forever, those who live there still consider him the true King Under the Mountain.

For a long while, he was bitter. He had fought for so long to return home, only to be forced into banishment by the sickness of his own mind. It seemed desperately unfair. Without purpose, and unable to see the good he had achieved past the shadow of his failures, he accompanied Bilbo on the long journey home. When they arrived to discover that he had been presumed dead in his absense, and his smial and all of his possessions auctioned off, it almost broke Thorin. It was yet another dire consequence that he felt was all his fault.

Bilbo, however, was having none of it. He refused to blame Thorin, insisted that they see the situation as a new adventure and set out to find the two of them a new home together.

They ultimately settled in the Lundlaevungar Terraces, where Thorin's siblings decided to join them. His sister Dis brought with her Thorin's smithing tools and his harp and encouraged him to take up metalwork and music again. Slowly, Thorin began to return from his self-imposed darkness. He started to take pride in his work again, remembered how to smile and laugh, and finally realised how much good he had achieved. He was also able to recognise the positives in his new life and, after a couple of years of dancing around one another, Thorin and Bilbo admitted their long-standing romantic feelings for one another.

These days, Thorin feels like he has recaptured the happiness he long thought lost. He is pleased for his clan and glad that they have returned to Erebor, and does not regret the life he has now even though it's different to the future he once dreamed. He and Bilbo love each other deeply and frequently exchange tokens of their affection: golden buttons and fine cookware crafted in Thorin's forge, for fragrant flower crowns and sweet treats made in Bilbo's kitchen.
