Dwarf Lord (Talk | contribs) Angelo Montanini's illustration of
Dori.  Dori was a Dwarf of Durin's folk who lived in the
northern Blue Mountains, and later the Lonely Mountain. He had
two brothers named Nori, and Ori. They were also remote kinsman
to King Thorin Oakenshield. He wore a purple hood, and played
the fute.  The Quest of Erebor  in 2941 Dori was one of twelve
selected Dwarves to accompany Thorin Oakenshield on a quest to
reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug. Dori was the
strongest of the thirteen Dwarves, and he was fond of food. And
he was quite a decent fellow.    Dori later fought in and
survived the Battle of Five Armies. And was also given his share
of the treasure by Dáin II Ironfoot]], and made his home in
Erebor.  Erebor, And the War of the Ring  Dori lived a very rich
life after the quest as one of the reclaimers of the mountain.
He was still living during the War of the Ring, and may have
fought in the Battle of Dale
