How Many Durin's Were There Really? | Lord of the Rings Lore

[@garycook5071]

thus the stupidity of Rings of Power having two Durins around at the same time and having During III face the Balrog.

I wonder if they know straight away when the next Durin is born or if the boy has to grow a bit for the similarities to become apparent and then the name of Durin is bestowed uponed them? I assume that dwarven babies look like any other humanoid baby - helpless, naked and screaming. Not sure how one would know at a glance that their legendary king had just been reborn? Unless there is a physical tell that they are keeping a secret from the rest of the world (like a birthmark, eye colour, star aligment, etc). Or woud that be a divine gut feeling of the parents that their baby is a 'Durin'? What's your best guess?

I imagine, personally, it’s a name they earn but I imagine it’s seen pretty early on with their looks and the way they act :)

[@OPeopleoftheBook-Scriptures]

The Broken Sword can you please do a video deep dive about; The Wainraiders, The Grey Company, Tevildo, the 12 Houses of Gondolin, and Aragorn travels in the Return of the King bofore the Pelinnor Fields, and one of my favorite elf of all time,Maedhros.

Durin's a bit like the Dalai Lama.

Durin I, I think, would have been such a uniquely interesting character to know. A Dwarf who remembers being created by Aule; an actual Valar. I often feel like, especially when we exclude Elves, few other mortal beings can actually claim to have met the angelic forgers of the world, and he remembers actually being made. He stood in Gundabad AND Khazad-dum, and actively started building the one, while being in part why the other was sacred. It does make me wonder, though, why there were still Longbeards, since he awoke alone, and no tale speaks about what famed lady Dwarf became his mate. Ho many generations of Dwarves lived in KD, and could draw direct heritage from him, by the time he died? Three? Five? Why was his tomb still unspoiled, and relics of him still to be found, when the Dwarves were driven out, and Orcs scoured every cranny, sending valuables back to Mordor, or claiming trophies? Yeah, I think Durin the Deathless would have been a fun person to meet, even if his amazing life isn't just punctuated by tbe worst tragedies, as he isn't renowned for the wars he led his people through, despite living so long.

The 7 original Dwarves awoke in different places. But the story doesn’t tell about the ladies of the First Dwarves. I guess there were lots for each one of these 7 guys 😊

[@gerrimilner9448]

there can only be one, he just popped up now and then on 7 occasions

I believe that Durin was reincarnated each time.

[@TarMody]

Durin reincarnation is a belief. If this is real, its metaphysical functioning needs to be addressed on a theoretical basis in order to make a meaningful definition.

[@OPeopleoftheBook-Scriptures]

Also about; Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, where a mortal women feel in love with Aegnor an elven prince.

She's not bobbing as hard now. 😅

[@daniels7907]

Here's a better video to explore: With all the talk of the "Seven Fathers of the Dwarves", where did the *mothers* of the Dwarves come from (or go to)?

[@kaidorade1317]

How many Durins does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Zero! Because they are all dead!
