Dís (born Third Age 2760) was a female Dwarf of the royal line of Durin's folk.
History[edit | edit source]
Dís was the daughter of King Thráin II and younger sister of Thorin and Frerin. Like her brothers, she was born in Lonely Mountain and was driven into exile in T.A. 2770 when the dragon Smaug sacked the kingdom. She was the mother of Fíli and Kíli.
Although female Dwarves were rarely seen by outsiders, or mentioned in Dwarven records, Dís was an exceptional case: her sons were killed heroically defending their mortally wounded uncle Thorin in the Battle of Five Armies.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Jim Allan has suggested that Dís is derived from Old Norse -dís ("sister") found in many Nordic names (such as Herdís, Hjördís, etc).[2]
