Baruk Khazâd!
Introduction
This is the first of several stories set in the Middle Earth universe. Each story will be a couple of chapters long. Each story will revolve around a significant battle in the Tolkien lore, in which either the battle is only hinted at but no real time is spent describing the battle due to the main character not being involved in the conflict so only rumors and reports reached them but taking place during the books timeframe or happened before the books of the Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings.
An example of the former would be the Second Battle of Osgiliath. This clash happened during the Return of the King in which the Witch-King took the city in preperations for Sauron's major stroke against Minas Tirith in which the story was following Perigrin Took who was in Minas Tirith as that city pbraced itself for the defeat of it's out defences.
An example of the later would be the Battle of Fornost. The Battle saw the end of the Kingdom of Angmar which had plagued the northern Dύnedaín Kingdoms and brought about their ruin.
Baruk Khazâd! is the story of the Battle of Azanulbizar. The story will follow the character of Thorin II, son of Thráin, son of Thrór. He would later become the King under the Mountain and he would become famous as Thorin Oakinshield. The story starts right after the sack of the last colony before the dawrven armies, vengeful for the cruel treatment of the body of King Thrór, exiled King of the Lonely Mountain by Azog the Defiler.
