In briefanswer capsule

Dáin I belongs to Durin’s line in the time when many of that people gather in the Grey Mountains after Thorin I leaves Erebor for those richer, little-worked ranges. Dragons from the wastes beyond grow strong again, attack the Dwarves, and seize their works. At his own hall door a great cold-drake kills Dáin I together with Frór, his second son. A chronology of Durin’s Folk dates that death to 2589.
