==History==
During Óin's reign, the Longbeards continued to dwell in the [[Grey Mountains]].


Óin's reign was largely uneventful: Durin's Folk continued to dwell in the [[Grey Mountains]] with the continual threat of attack from the [[dragons]]. Towards the very end of Óin's reign, in [[Third Age 2460|T.A. 2460]], the [[Shadow]] returned to [[Dol Guldur]] in [[Mirkwood]] with increased strength; and in c. [[Third Age 2480|2480]] [[Orcs]] began to spread again in the [[Misty Mountains]] in order to block all passes into [[Eriador]], whilst in [[Sauron]]'s creatures took [[Moria]] as their own.
