'''Grór''' was a Dwarf and a significant leader among the people of Durin.

==Life==
===Birth and Early Life===
He was born into the [[House of Durin]] in 2563 during its last troubled years in the [[Grey Mountains]]. He was the youngest of the three sons of King [[Dáin I]], who ruled [[Durin's folk]] during their [[War of the Dwarves and Dragons | war]] with the Dragons of the north in the Grey Mountains. When Grór was just twenty-six years old, a [[Cold-drakes|Cold-drake]] attacked [[Dáin's halls]], and slew the father along with his brother, [[Frór]].

The two remaining brothers resolved to leave the Grey Mountains with their people and settle elsewhere. As the elder brother, [[Thrór]] inherited the Kingship, and led his people back to [[Erebor]] in the east. Young Grór traveled still farther east, to the [[Iron Hills]], where he founded a realm of his own becoming the first [[Lord of the Iron Hills]].

===Lord of the Iron Hills, and Later Life===
Grór saw many mishaps and tragedies during his rule. The kingdom of his brother Thrór was destroyed by the Dragon [[Smaug]], and '''Grór's''' son and heir, [[Náin]], was killed at the [[Battle of Nanduhirion]] before he could inherit. '''Grór's''' rule passed instead to his grandson.

But during this troubled time '''Grór's''' realm became the strongest in the North. Being the only realm standing between [[Sauron]] and his plans to destroy [[Rivendell]] and taking back the lands of [[Angmar]]. Also, many of Durin's folk fleeing from Smaug and those wandering in exile came to the Iron Hills, bolstering their numbers.

Many years later, at the [[Battle of Five Armies]], Thrór's last descendant, [[Thorin Oakenshield]], was lost. [[Dáin II Ironfoot]], Grór's grandson inherited the high Kingship of Durin's folk, a title that remained with the descendants of '''Grór'''.

Grór ruled the [[Dwarves of the Iron Hills]] for two hundred and fifteen years, and was succeeded by his grandson [[Dáin]]. He died in 2805 at 241 years of age.
