Background[edit | edit source]
Nori was a Dwarf of Durin's folk who lived in the northern Blue Mountains in Thorin Oakenshield's Halls and later Erebor. He had two brothers named Dori, and Ori, and was a remote kinsmen of Thorin Oakenshield. He played the flute, and he was very fond of regular and plentiful meals like his hobbit friend, Bilbo Baggins.
Nori was the brother of Dori & Ori. Both Nori and Dori were capable flautists, and seem to have carried their flutes with them. Both these brothers also shared Bilbo's liking for regular meals. Before the Quest of Erebor, Nori lived in Thorin's home in the northern Blue Mountains (Ered Luin) with his two brothers. Nori and his two brothers became part of Thorin and Company befriending Bilbo Baggins and travel with him in search of Smaug's treasure caverns in the Lonely Mountain. After their experience in Goblin-town when the company was pursued by wargs and forced to climb up into some trees, Nori was the first realize that Bilbo Baggins had been left on the ground and pointed him out to his brother Dori who rescued Bilbo, so he was one of the thirteen Dwarves of the Blue Mountains who set out to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, under the leadership of Thorin Oakenshield. Nori did little to distinguish himself during the Dwarves's adventures in the wild, though he shared the same array of experiences as the others of the Company: captured in turn by Trolls, Goblins, Spiders and Elves, they eventually reached the distant Lonely Mountain and recovered it for the Longbeards. Afterwards he remained in the Kingdom under the Mountain, and Gloin reported that he was still there seventy-seven years later, at the time of the War of the Ring.
Nori fought in and survived the Battle of the Five Armies and returned to the Lonely Mountain realm where he established himself and grew rich. He survived up until the time of the Council of Elrond and the War of the Ring. During the War of the Ring, Nori was still living in Erebor, and possibly fought in the Battle of Dale. His date of death is unknown.

Nori The Dwarf
Perhaps the most elusive member of The Company of Thorin Oakenshield, Nori is often in trouble with the Dwarven authorities. So he decides it might be a good time to leave town. He joins the Quest for the Lonely Mountain, not realizing the journey ahead may well lead him into far more trouble than he has left behind. Nobody ever knows just what the quick-witted and wily Nori is up to, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably illegal. He often argues with his brothers Dori and Ori, but make no mistake of it. He is still deeply loyal and will protect them by whatever means possible.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- He has an exclusive beard\hair piece.
