Description
Nár is at Zudrugund in Enedwaith. He can also be found at Amdân in Azanulbizar, T.A. 2799.
Nár is very old even by dwarven standards. He was a friend and esquire to Thrór, King Under the Mountain when Smaug drove the dwarves out of Erebor in T.A. 2770. Nár followed Thrór like many others of the survivors of Durin's Folk of Erebor into exile, and eventually they settled at Zudrugund on the fringes of Dunland. Twenty years later, when Thrór passed the remaining heirlooms of Erebor to his son and set out for the lost halls of Khazad-dûm, Nár alone went with him and so saw first-hand what became of the old king at the hands of Azog[1]. Nár was never the same afterwards. He returned to Zudrugund with news of Thrór's fate, and again after the Sixth War of Dwarves and Orcs, and when Thráin and Thorin removed to eventually find a home in Ered Luin, Nár remained in Zudrugund with only a few others, among them his old friend Hervin Drake-slayer and Hervin's son, Frithgeir[2]. Only recently has Nár returned to the Lonely Mountain, at the invitation of King Thorin III Stonehelm.
