Whitebeard (name)

The Whitebeards were a prestigious family of dwarves which existed in the city of Duorendain during the Fourth Age. The family was founded by Healus Whitebeard, one of the many children of Duor Greatbeard. Not being an inheriter of the throne, he was still well respected and rather wealthy, traits that continued throughout his lineage.

At some stage, the Whitebeards came into contact with the Frost Trolls, a much more benevolent cousin to the Common Troll with sufficient intelligence. Due to a deal that was struck, the Frost Trolls would often guide the Whitebeards past Felhorn so that they could try and harvest some of the ores that existed within the World's Crown. However, digging too greedily and deeply, they accidentally reawakened a Wyvern in The Wyv, that brought devastation to the mines, the Frost Trolls, and the inhabitants in general. After this, all communication between the dwarves and the Frost Trolls were cancelled.

The last of the Whitebeard line was White Queen Cesessil, who was married to Red King Rabastan, and ended up commiting suicide, ending the Whitebeard line.
