Encyclopedia > Fundin

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, the Dwarf Fundin was the son of Farin, the brother of Gróin, and the father of Balin and Dwalin, two of Thorin Oakenshield's companions on the Quest of Erebor. Fundin was killed beneath the East Gate of Khazad-dum in the climatic Battle of Azanulbizar during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. After the battle, all of the fallen Dwarves, Fundin included, were stripped of their armour and weaponry by their kinsmen, and were burnt upon pyres of wood.
