The Prophecy of Durin VII - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Durin VII is said in Appendix III (regarding Durin's line) to have also been "Durin the Last". In "Of Dwarves and Men" he is said to have finally re-established the Longbeard kingdom in Moria, and presumably ruled over one last golden age of the Dwarves. Apart from the fact that he is descended from Thorin III Stonehelm (the son of Dáin), we know nothing other than these bare facts about him.

To the best of my knowledge -which admittedly may be incorrect, though I don't believe it to be so in this case- there is no mention of him, prophetic or otherwise made at the Battle of the Five Armies, either in the text of The Hobbit or in any other text that touches on the battle.
