Thráin I, son of Náin I, reached Erebor on Mirkwood's eastern fringe after many survivors had gone north. There he set craft and delving under way again and ruled as King under the Mountain. Within Erebor he came upon the Arkenstone, a gem bound to the mountain's core. His son Thorin I later left for the Grey Mountains, where most of Durin's Folk were assembling, those heights being rich and scarcely known.
