Óin was King of [[Durin's line]], successor to [[Glóin]]. In his time, the [[Dwarves]] of [[Durin's folk]] still dwelt in the [[Grey Mountains]] of the north. In the later years of his reign, the [[Shadow]] returned to [[Dol Guldur]] in [[Mirkwood]], and [[Orcs]] and other evil things began to multiply in the northern mountains. In Óin's last years, the Orcs plundered [[Moria]], which was then deserted, and took it to dwell in. This was but the first of the calamities that were to befall the [[House of Durin]] over the coming centuries.
