Thorin's Halls

[goldfinger]

Can anybody tell me about Thorin's Halls? Because I've seen it in the Middle Earth Atlas and on LOTR RPGs, but I don't recall seeing it in any of the books.

[Raynor]

The king is come unto his hall
Under the Mountain dark and tall.I would say it is a refference to the dwarven halls of the Lonely Mountain.

[Anguirel]

It could also refer to the Halls in the Blue Mountains in which Thorin and his impoverished relatives dwelt...

[goldfinger]

They always showed that they were in the Blue mts.

I believe that they were on a spur on the southern Blue Mountains. They were probably an old off shoot from Nogrod that the southern one, right?) It is interesting bevcause the Tale of Years says (ca 40 SA: Dwarves leave their cities in the blue mts to go to Khazad-dum) Since it is mainly thought that Nogrod and Belegost were destroyed in the splitting of the Ered Luin, perhaps Tolkien wanted to mean that the main cities were destroyed, but parts of them (suburbs, if you will) were just abandoned.

I thought their was reason to believe that Belegost survived the war of wrath? since it was about 150 to 200 miles south of Nogrod, which would place it somewhere at the very end of what is now the southern Blue mts.

[Elu Ancalime]

Right, it was Belegost.
