Other figures can include Fëanor and Túrin (said to return from the dead at the Dagor Dagorath) and the King of Gondor (with Aragorn as the returned King). It refers to a kingly figure who remains hidden in a mountain or cave until a messianic return at the appointed time.Īccording to the Wikipedia article, the motif is also present at several points in Tolkien's legendarium: Ar-Pharazôn with his Great Armament was buried in the Caves of the Forgotten beneath the Pelóri until the End of the World the King of the Dead and the Men of the Mountains in Dunharrow, who returned to fulfill their oath and of course the King under the Mountain himself, with Thorin's return to Erebor. The term " King under the Mountain" is a philological term for a certain motif in various mythologies and folklore around the world. Dáin II Ironfoot - reigned after Thorin's death in the Battle of Five Armies.
Thorin II Oakenshield – regained the Kingdom.The hero is frequently a historical figure of some military consequence in the history of the nation where the mountain is located. Smaug - claimed title and kingdom after the Sack of Erebor King in the mountain stories involve legendary heroes, often accompanied by armed retainers, sleeping in remote dwellings including caves on high mountaintops, remote islands, or supernatural worlds.Thrór – restored the Kingdom but lost it to Smaug.Thorin I – abandoned the Kingdom for the Grey Mountains.In both cases, the line was restored to a rightful heir. The line was broken twice, once by Thorin I (he and four generations of his descendants ruled from the Grey Mountains, not Lonely Mountain), and once by the Dragon Smaug (who claimed the title for himself). King under the Mountain was the title taken by Thráin I, founder of the Dwarf-kingdom of Lonely Mountain, and maintained by those Kings of Durin's Folk who dwelt there.
