Durin VII (lived in the Fourth Age) was the last of the six reincarnations of Durin the Deathless.
History
The actions of Durin VII were prophesized long before he was born, at the time of the Battle of Azanulbizar.[2]
Durin the Seventh was likely a descendant of Thorin III Stonehelm.
He led Durin's folk back to Khazad-dûm and restored the ancient kingdom during the Fourth Age. There his house remained until the world grew old and the Dwarves failed and the days of Durin's race were ended.[3]
Etymology
Durinn is one of the Dwarfs in the Dvergatal. The name means "Sleepy".[4]
