They fled to the Grey Mountains in Third Age 1981 after a Balrog was unearthed in their ancestral home of Khazad-dûm. Another portion of their clan established the kingdom of Lonely Mountain, but King Thorin I, learning that most of his people remained in the Grey Mountains, abandoned Lonely Mountain to join the Dwarves to the north.
