Talk:Vales of Anduin

As far as I know, Durin IV is never mentioned explicitly in any canon material beyond the presence of his name in the genealogy of the House of Durin. All we know about him is that he lived after Durin III (who supposedly received a Ring of Power from Celebrimbor, and therefore lived sometime around the War of the Elves and Sauron) and before Durin V and VI (Durin VI was slain by the Balrog of Moria in T.A. 1980). Thus, he lived in either the late Second or early Third Ages, but to identify him specifically as the King of the Longbeards during the War of the Last Alliance (as has been done in other articles) is pure conjecture. I think the reference to Durin IV, therefore, should be removed. Corsair Caruso 02:15, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
