Description
Náin I (T.A. 1832 - T.A. 1981), son of Durin VI, was King of the Longbeards from T.A. 1980 to T.A. 1981, and served as the last lord of Khazad-dûm before Durin's Folk abandoned it. Though he put up a brave defense against the the balrog known as Durin's Bane, he would fall to the same nameless horror as his father in T.A. 1981. He was succeeded by his son Thráin I, who led the dwarves to settle Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. Shortly before his demise, Náin would pass on to his son the dwarf-ring Handórm, a prized heirloom of their house.
