In briefanswer capsule

Thrór, Dáin I's heir, returned with remaining folk to Erebor after the Grey Mountains were largely abandoned; Grór took many to the Iron Hills. He restored the Arkenstone to Thráin's Great Hall; craft and ore trade brought prosperity. Smaug wrecked realm and Dale and occupied the gold. Thrór fled south with Thráin II, later gave him the last of the Seven Rings, entered open Moria against Nár's warning, and was flung dead on the steps.
