Thorin I (Third Age 2035 – 2289, died aged 254) was the King of Durin's Folk for 99 years, succeeding his father, Thráin I, on his death in T.A. 2190. Thorin was the heir of Durin the Deathless being the great-grandson of Durin VI.[1]

Thorin was born after his father Thráin, led the Dwarves of Moria away from Khazad-dûm and had founded the Kingdom under the Mountain in Erebor. Thorin himself became King under the Mountain in T.A. 2190. However he heard that the majority of the remnants of Durin's Folk were now gathering in the Grey Mountains. In T.A. 2210 he decided to leave the Lonely Mountain and reunited its people with their brethren in the Grey Mountains which were rich and largely unexplored.

Thorin I died in T.A. 2289, at the age of 254, and was succeeded by his son Glóin. His six-greats grandson, Thorin II Oakenshield, was the much famed leader of the Quest of Erebor which reclaimed the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug.
