Blacklocks - Jaco-Daan/Realms-In-Exile-Wiki GitHub Wiki

The House of Dwarves descended from Thrár the Proud, the Blacklocks awoke and made their mansions in the Orocarni. In the early Second Age under Thrár II, they settled the vale of Rûrîk on the eastern shores of Middle-Earth, and shortly thereafter they were joined by their brother-clan, the Stonefoots. Together they forged the greatest realm of the Dwarves outside of Khazad-dum itself, and the greater portion of both peoples came to dwell therein.

However, this interwoven nature would be at once their greatest strength and weakness in the Succession of Rurik and the greater Stonefoots and Blacklocks houses became estranged, further enflamed by the manipulations of Sauron.

In time the Blacklocks were known to have split into several groups, with some remaining in the East, others making mansions in the Yellow Mountains, and still others joining with their western kin.

But ever did they burn with hatred of Sauron for the sorrows he had brought them, and wherever they settled they were his most implaceable foes in the East.
