[Formendacil]

I'm all for being contrary, as usual.

I recommend thinning out that Dwarven tribe: it's far too large to be fair.

And no, by "thinning", I do not mean Bombur (although that would be an appropriate choice). Nay, I be thinking of Thrain, son of Thror, Last Keeper of the Ring of Durin.

Seriously, if Thorin was an arrogant old dwarf, then Thrain was worse. Where do you think Thorin got it from? Really, old Thrain was crazy. I mean, leading an attack on Azog et al simply for revenge? For YEARS? Not to mention stupidly falling into the Necromancer's hands...

Finally, we have Gandalf's word that he was nuts. Not just nots, but blitheringly, stupidly, insane.

It can only be:

++Thrain son of Thror
