King Óin II

King Óin II was the Dwarven King of Khuzdurin.
== Backstory ==
Óin II was the son of King Durin VII of Khazad-dum. When he was 103, the orcs and goblins laid siege to the dwarven city. Although the dwarves put up a strong resistance, the hordes eventually overwhelmed the dwarves with their numbers and managed to kill King Durin VII in the process. With the sudden loss of leadership, the dwarves started to rout and their defences started to crumble. Noticing this, Óin II took charge and rallied the dwarves with a speech, and the dwarves escaped the massacre brought forth by the servants of the dark lord. Although they survived the battle, the dwarves now found themselves homeless, with minimal supplies, and in the dead of winter. King Óin II led his dwarves though the troubles, and on November 26th, 742 A.T.F., he settled in the Golden Hills, and founded Erebor, named after a great dwarven city of old. His wife died during this time, and he was left with his only son, Thorin IV
== Modern Era ==
=== Years of the Founding ===
After founding the Kingdom of Erebor, Óin II met with the native peoples of the region, the Ryzani, and were introduced with their religion of Tossanism. Óin II recognised Attinstáinz, one of the Tossanite gods, from a vision he had whilst in exile, and converted to the religion, as well as urged his peoples to convert as well. 
=== The Second Migration ===
The Confederacy of Ryzan had eventually found itself riddled with instability, and that was followed by a collapse. foreseeing a civil war, Óin II led his followers, dubbed white dwarves, to new lands and founded the city of Beþenk-dum, meanwhile Erebor was to be inherited by the dwarves which stayed, dubbed blue dwarves. 
== Personality ==
Óin is known to be very stubborn, hot tempered, and stingey. However, he is known for being loyal to his family and friends. Óin is slow to form an opinion, but is also difficult to persuade him otherwise once he has settled on a decision.
== Death ==
Óin II died in the year 747 A.T.F. in a mining accident, passing all titles and belongings to his only son, Thorin IV.
