History
Farin was one of the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains. When his uncle King Dáin I and cousin Frór had been slain by a Cold-drake, his people were forced to flee the dragon-plagued Grey Mountains while he was just 29 years old when. Farin's father, Borin, joined Thrór when he rebuilt the Kingdom under the Mountain in 2590.
Farin was the father of Fundin and Gróin, and therefore an ancestor to both Balin of Thorin and Company and Gimli Elf-friend, one of the Fellowship of the Ring.[1]
In 2770 the dragon Smaug sacked the Lonely Mountain, driving its people into exile.
