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's great-grandfather, Durin VI, was King of Khazad-dûm when the Balrog of Morgoth appeared in Moria; the Balrog has forever been known as Durin's Bane for he was killed by it in T.A. 1980. Durin's son - and Thorin's grandfather - Náin I was now King and he held out against the Balrog but was himself killed in T.A. 1981, being the last true King of Khazad-dûm until Durin VII and Last in the Fourth Age.
Thorin's father, Thráin, now led the people of Durin and in T.A. 1999 he founded the Kingdom under the Mountain in Erebor. In Erebor the Dwarves began building a mighty kingdom, with the prized possession of the King being the Arkenstone, the Heart of the Mountain.
However, Thorin became King in T.A. 2190 and he heard that the majority of the remnants of Durin's Folk were now gathering in the Grey Mountains, so, in T.A. 2210, Thorin deserted 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.
