Thrór (Third Age 2542 – 2790, lived 248 years) was King of Durin's folk for 201 years, from 2589 to 2790. He was the eldest son of Dáin I and with his younger brother Grór he led his people away from the dragons of the Grey Mountains who had killed his father and brother Frór. The Dwarves returned to Lonely Mountain, where Thrór became King under the Mountain.
In 2770 the dragon Smaug attacked and sacked Lonely Mountain, scattering Durin's folk. Thrór and other dwarves managed to escape through the hidden Side Door. Despondant and homeless, he left his people and went south with a single companion, Nár, but not before giving his son Thráin II the map and key to Lonely Mountain. Thrór wished to see the fabled city of his ancestors, Khazad-dûm, and ignored Nár's warnings that it had become Moria, the "Black Pit". However, at Moria Thrór was captured and butchered by Azog the Goblin King, who carved his own name on Thrór's severed head in Dwarvish runes.
Nár was released by Azog so that all Dwarves would know that an Orc ruled Moria. Nár told King Thráin II of the abomination, which led to the War of the Dwarves and Orcs.
