Was he just made chief of the dwarves? By Durin I (the &quot;Deathless&quot;). Just a guess, I never heard of Durin III.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;...and Elemmakil hastened forward, for the way was short to the Seventh Gate, named the Great, the Gate of Steel that Maeglin wrought after the return from the Nirneath...&quot;<hr></blockquote>

His horse was Felarof (haven't figured out the accents yet), and he killed Eorl's father, Leod.

Azog was the great orc of Moria. He was killed by Dain II. I think he killed Thror, and so the dwarves wanted revenge?

You got the first part. Thror's death was the reason for the war in general, but I'll count it as the answer. The only thing that needs revising is who did the hewing... <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Who were the grandfathers of Earendil? <img src=cool.gif ALT="8)">
