Duhr

Duhr, son of Huor, is the current King-In-Exile, being the twenty-sixth in a long chain of Dwarven Kings. He is descended directly from Duor Greatbeard, who founded the Greatbeards' colony in the north of Troll Country. Duhr, like many of his forefather's before him, lives in the wild. Since the Dwarf-Goblin Wars of the Fourth Age, in which Duorendain was utterly devastated, the direct lineage of the Kings have gone on without ever serving their time in office. This is due to the fact that the Greatbeards are now scattered, and the increasing difficulty in which it is to contact the Dwarven colonies in the West. Therefore, Duhr, although of a line of kings, has been reduced to undergoing petty work, such as blacksmithing for humans.

Sometime towards the end of the Fourth Age, Duhr stumbled upon a human child and named him Milos, adopting the boy and raising him in the dwarven ways.

A few years later, Duhr had come tot he conclusion that the Greatbeards had repopulated now in plenty, and that it was time for them to gather again and remake Duorendain anew. Therefore he sent his uncle, Hror, as a messenger to go over the Midpoint Mountains and gain help from their Dwarven bretheren in the West to establish a new colony within the East. However, Hror never returned from this journey, and Duhr became disheartened and let go of his dream of uniting his people once more.
