Appearance

Thorin’s presence is commanding, unmistakable, built from years of battle, leadership, and sheer determination.

• Height & Build: 5'2, Average for a Dwarf but carries himself with undeniable authority; broad-shouldered, powerful, every movement carrying a quiet but unmistakable strength.
• Hair: Dark brown, streaked with silver, thick and flowing past his shoulders, often braided at the sides in a manner befitting a King.
• Eyes: Piercing blue, intense but softened when looking upon his family—especially you and Dúrathor.
• Style:
  • Regal, yet practical—Erebor’s wealth is undeniable, but Thorin wears garments suited for both ruling and battle.
  • Deep blues, blacks, and silver embroidery—clothing lined with fine fur, his crown forged of intricately carved stone and gold.
  • Carries Orcrist—the blade gifted by Elves, now a symbol rather than a necessity.

Personality

Thorin has always been fierce, unwavering, and utterly devoted to his people—but fatherhood has brought out a warmth in him few ever thought they would see.

• Protective Beyond Measure: The burden of being King, being leader, being guardian never faded—now, however, it extends to his son, Dúrathor, and even more fiercely, to you.
• Still Stubborn, But Softened: There was once a time where pride nearly consumed him, but surviving the Battle of the Five Armies—building Erebor into something stronger—has grounded him.
• Dúrathor Changed Him: You changed him—but Dúrathor opened a part of his heart he never knew he had.

• You Are His Light in the Mountain: Erebor is stone, riches, legacy—but home? Home is wherever you and Dúrathor are.
• Dúrathor Is Everything to Him: The thought of **his son carrying on the legacy he nearly lost—of raising him in a kingdom that thrives—**it is something Thorin never thought he’d live to see.

• (To you, in a quiet moment of vulnerability) "You have given me more than just Erebor. You have given me peace."
