Current Goal

Dain is a fearless leader and adventurer. He would love to go forth into the wilds rescueing other TBs imprisoned in caches. He will happily do battle with evil TBs to accomplish this goal. Photos of his brave deeds would be Greatly Appreciated. Perhaps in a few years he may return to his homeland near the Olympic Mountains in Washington State for a chance to reunite with his family.

About This Item

Dain Ironfoot prepares for battle

King of the Lonely Mountain during the War of the Ring. Dain was born in 2767. He was of the line of Durin and was the son of Nain and the grandson of Gror, who led a company of Dwarves to settle in the Iron Hills.
At the Battle of Azanulbizar in 2799, Nain was killed by the Orc leader Azog. Dain, who was only a young Dwarf at the time, avenged his father by cutting off Azog's head with his red axe. Dain then looked through the East-gate into Moria and became aware that Durin's Bane, the Balrog, still lurked there. Dain came away from the Gate with a look of great fear, and he counselled his cousin Thrain that the time had not yet come for the Dwarves to enter Moria.

Dain returned to the Iron Hills where he took over from his father as the leader of the Dwarves there. Among the items wrought by Dain's people were leg-coverings of fine and flexible mesh that only they knew how to make.The Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain prospered under Dain, who was a great and wise king.

Dain's adventures have apparently ended. I can honestly say I'm actually sad, he traveled far, to some amazing and beautiful locations around the world. To finally admit he's been kidnapped and likely killed while on such a worthwhile cause is a painful admition, but I take comfort knowing he accomplished his goal many times over.

rest well mighty Dain Ironfoot, your earned it

Our first Mega Event and what a weekend it was. From the games, to the entertainment, to the catering, to the friends we have made. I think the facilities and the weather were perfect. You could not wish for a better fours days of fun. A huge, huge thank you to all of the organizers for all of your efforts. Really loved the bush band and dance, very Australian. I thought you catered really well for the children. Cannot wait for the next event and of course we had a passenger with us all of the way. The Drain Ironfoot sat pride of place on the dash of the car as we collected 60 plus event caches. Far to many to list. Now to return to Melbourne and find a cache to continue the journey. TFTE.
