Geocache Description:


Seven Hundred NinetySeventh in the Famous People (FP) Series - Dori, Nori & Ori
In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Dwarves are a race inhabiting the world of Arda, a fictional prehistoric Earth which includes the continent Middle-earth.

Dori was one of the twelve companions of Thorin and Bilbo on the Quest of Erebor. He was the brother of Nori and Ori. It fell to Dori to carry Bilbo in the tunnels of the Misty Mountains, but Dori dropped Bilbo and the other dwarves blamed him for "losing their burglar." Later, during the escape from the Wargs when they all climbed trees, Dori climbed back down to help Bilbo, who could not get up on his own. When the Eagles carried them off, Bilbo grabbed hold of Dori's legs as they went. In The Hobbit, Dori is described as "a decent fellow, despite his grumbling," while Thorin described him as being the strongest member of the company. He wears a purple hood.

He is very fussy and overprotective of his two brothers, particularly Ori. He and Ori are the first characters to be saved by the Eagles during the Warg attack when they fall from a tree hanging over a cliff. His trademark weapons are a sword and a mace.

Nori sports a distinct triple mohawk hairstyle and fights with a long spiked staff, along with numerous concealed weapons. He is also a longtime thief who shares a strained relationship with his two brothers.

Ori wears a grey hood, and loves the arts. He was among the last members of Balin's colony to be killed, as is known by his entering the last records in the Book of Mazarbul before their final hopeless stand against the Orcs. Ori is the youngest member of Thorin's company who uses a slingshot as his trademark weapon and serves as the group's scribe. Ori has a chinstrap beard and bowl cut and wears a grey hooded cloak with a cable knit scarf and mittens.

Here in Laurel Land Cemetery (not accessible at night of course) you will find Tolkein Trees, Eagles and Dwarf buildings. You might think everything around here is nano sized.

FP cemetery caches are always placed with regards to the location, so please be mindful of your presence here, watch where you step and be respectful of the residents interred here. Please carefully re-hide the container better to maintain the integrity of the cache.
