The Lord of the Rings Online Character Profile

Turbine’s official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with a profile of one of Middle-Earth’s most popular dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield.

Thorin II, noble Dwarf of Durin’s Line and king of Durin’s Folk, accomplished a heroic task when he led a small company of Dwarves (and one reluctant hobbit) to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dreaded dragon, Smaug the Golden. Thorin succeeded in his quest, but sadly perished not long after, in the Battle of Five Armies. Still, there is much more to tell about Thorin and his deeds prior to that fateful quest. Legends tell of heroic battles alongside his father Thráin II, and of difficult years spent in exile after Smaug’s arrival – years that saw Thorin lead the surviving Dwarves from their lost home to the Blue Mountains (also known as Ered Luin) in the west.
