| Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? - Tom Bombadil This article describes a concept which is mentioned in J.R.R. Tolkien's canonical works, but was never given a definite name. Although the events and descriptions of the article are canonical, the title as appears can not be found within the works and is used here as an alternative. |
Dáin's halls was a name used for the halls that formed the capital of the Grey Mountains, named after its founder Dáin I.
[edit] History
The Halls of Dáin were probably originally founded by the first exiled dwarves from Khazad-dûm; who had fled their homes because of the Balrog.
Dáin was killed by a great Cold-Drake along with his son Frór at the door of his halls. A year later, most of Durin's folk abandoned the mountains, and made for Erebor and the Iron Hills.
