Nationality: Iron Hills
You come from the Iron Hills, settled by dwarves as a refuge from the Cold-drakes, and whence came Dáin Ironfoot, King under the Mountain, kinsman of the great Thorin Oakenshield.
Naming Guidelines: 'Dwarves tend towards short, simple Norse-styled names.

Common endings are -ori, -óin, -íli, -alin, -orin, -osi, -imli, and ormur, coupled with beginnings using consonants like D-, F-, G-, H-, K-, L-, M-, N-, R-, T-, Th-, and W-, or paired consonants like Dr-, Dw-, Fl-, Gl-, or Thr-. Example are Dori, Glóin, Kíli, Balin, Thorin, Flosi, Gimli, and Gormur.

A few dwarves have more complex names, combining whole words with specific endings or other whole words. (Examples: Skorgrím, Einskaldir.)'
