However, the water outside the door was right up to the wall, and the Watcher in the Water "took Óin". The Dwarves could not escape by the eastern gate because the Orcs held the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, so they tried to escape by the Hollin Gate. Some five years passed, with Óin at some point re-joining Balin, before the Moria Orcs attacked. After Balin became Lord of Moria, according to the Book of Mazarbul, Óin was sent to look for the Upper Armories of the Third Deep, which were apparently westwards, near the Hollin Gate (the west gate out of Moria). He fought in and survived the Battle of Five Armies, and later settled in the Lonely Mountain with King Dáin II Ironfoot, along with many other Dwarves of the company of Thorin.įorty-eight years later, in TA 2989, Óin went to Moria with Balin and Ori, along with many other Dwarves, to recover the realm for the Dwarves of Durin's Folk. Óin and his brother Glóin were usually in charge of preparing the fire for the Company, as they were the most skilled of the group. Óin was one of the Dwarves who bet that Bilbo would come along with them to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Óin fought in the Battle of Azanulbizar along with Thorin Oakenshield, and in TA 2941 joined Thorin's company on the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, wearing a brown hood. Óin's uncle was Fundin, the father of Balin and Dwalin. Óin was the older brother of Glóin, cousin of Dwalin and Balin, and uncle of Gimli.
