Grár of Nibbin-grod

Grár of Nibbin-grod

Lord Grár was king (in fact steward of Blacklocks King, sitting in Eddenogrod) ruling over the valley Nan-i-Naugrim in the late Third Age, therefore was feudal obligated to Thorin.

He sent his brother Gror to intercept the Oakenshield. Riding southeast from Gamwich, Gror confronted Thorin on the day Gandalf chose Bilbo for his role as “burglar” on the quest to the mountain. After a night of violent argument in the woods outside Bywater, Thorin turned over to Gror all his possessions save those absolutely needed for the journey, as payment for the debts of his house. (Shire. 168)
