Place 5: Durin VII.
Durin VII. was the last of the dwarves to carry this name. He was a successor of Durin I., of whom the prophecy stated that he would be reborn six times. Durin VII. was thus the last of his kind and lived in the Fourth Age.
The dwarves looked up to him and saw him as a kind of messiah. The prophecy spoke of Durin VII. freeing and reclaiming the once-great dwarven kingdom Khazad-dûm from the orcs. And so it came to pass. As the last great king of the dwarves, he was a glorious figure, mighty and strong, bringing the final era of his people to a peaceful end.
