Dûri the Strong

Named after the famed Duri the Rider, Duri II was like her predecessor in that she was a messenger of the Dwarfs. Of Durin's Folk, Duri II was much better looking than most Dwarf women. She felt as though female Dwarfs could fight just as much as Dwarf males could. She would not be hindered and entered the service of Durin V.

Entranced by her beauty and strong wit, Durin V reluctantly gave her the opportunity she so desired. She became as popular as Duri the Rider had been, she even marched with Durin V to Mordor at the War of the Last Alliance. After having her life saved by her king, Durin V professed his love for her and the two eventually wed. Duri II would retire as a messenger and now be queen of the Longbeards and Durin's line would continue with the descendants she bore.
