Rálin of Zagragathol

Ralin was born at Zagragathol in the Ered Luin around S.A. 3380, The second son of King Rulin, he was fated from birth to be the Second of the Seven Lords of the Stone Hammer. According to Dwarven legend, the Hammer, also known as the Great Stone Hammer, was a gift from Mahal (Aule) to Dwalin, the King of the Second Tribe of the Khazad (and later the Lord of Belegost). It was one of Seven Hammers of the Seven Tribes. (Another of these enchanted symbols was the North Hammer.)

Asa Lord of Dwalin's Folk during the late Second Age, the quest bound Ralin to gather the Hammer's seven pieces. After years of wandering and searching, his path crossed and joined that of a mixed band of Free Peoples including the Half-elf Bard, Randae Linvaire; the Half-elf Sorceress, Chinta Kari; and the Womaw Ranger, Tash Enamo. In the years that followed this strange meeting of mismatched companions, Ralin gathered the remaining parts of the Great Stone Hammer, He then played a major part of the united effort that lead to halting the awful legacy of Ungoliant called the Eagoth ("Enemy of Existence"), as well as the destruction of three evil Avar Mages: Ardanien, Mourmaelgax, and Jirdfos. Ralin remained a Lord of the Stone Hammer and a Lord Warder of the Ered Luin until the end of his days in the early Third Age.
