'''Thorin I''' ([[Third Age]] 2035 – 2289, aged 254 years) was the son of [[Thráin I]] and King of [[Durin's folk]] for 99 years, from 2190 to 2289. During his [[Náin I|grandfather's]] time the [[Dwarves]] of Durin's folk were driven from [[Khazad-dûm]] and scattered throughout the northeast of [[Middle-earth]]. Though Thorin's father had established the Kingdom of [[Lonely Mountain]], Thorin heard that the remnants Durin's folk were gathering in the [[Grey Mountains]], which was rich and little explored, so he abandoned Erebor for the mountains.  It would be over three hundred years before his descendent [[Thror]], would return to Erebor.
