'Even in the face of such loss and devastation in the North, we of Durin's Folk must celebrate. We show gratitude for our families, for our friends, and for what coming joys remain hidden. My father, Dáin, understood this well, and I would honour his memory.

'I sent invitations to all of Durin's Folk, and I hope that the last of our guests are arriving now. One has spent too long away from his kin, and I do hope he sees now that his return is welcomed by all.

'You have served the peoples of the North, shown great bravery in far-off battles, and Gimli, son of Glóin, regards you as a true friend; you have earned a place at my table. Come, ${PLAYER}.'

King Thorin III can be found in the Hall Under the Mountain.
