Gandalf at Eribor

Original Oils on clay board

Over the years, Gandalf became concerned about the weak state of the North. Smaug the Dragon had destroyed both the Kingdom under the Mountain and the town of Dale, and the wizard feared that Sauron might use the desolation around Erebor to regain the northern passes in the mountains and the old lands of Angmar. Gandalf knew that exiled Dwarf King of Durin’s Folk, Thorin II Oakenshield, planned to battle against Smaug, but he knew that it would not be enough. In TA 2941,[5] while staying the night in Bree, Gandalf happened across the Dwarf King.[9] Thorin initiated conversation; he had been having a strange feeling urging him to seek Gandalf.
