The Arkenstone remains forever out of reach, but stays with the people who protected it, and who used it to create the mighty kingdom in the first place.
Bilbo takes the Arkenstone and goes to Bombur, who is on guard during the night, and volunteers to take his watch for him.
The Arkenstone was placed upon Thorin's chest within his tomb deep under the Lonely Mountain, and so was returned to the earth at last.
After the death of Thorin in the Battle of Five Armies, Dain becomes King under the Mountain. He redeems the Arkenstone from Bard with a fourteenth of the treasure, which is used to re-establish Dale. Over the next three years, Bard rebuilds the city of Dale and becomes its ruler. The city begins to prosper again.
Myth: Gimli is the last dwarf.
Though Gimli has no children, he is not the last Dwarf of Middle-earth. After the fall of Sauron, his people continued to thrive in the Lonely Mountain. Gimli made his home in Rohan, in the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, and many of his kinsfolk came with him.
Nope. Thorin, Fili, and Kili were the male heirs of the first line of Durin, the dominant line. They were the ones in line for the crown and the kingship, in that order. When they died, the first line of Durin was extinguished, but not the line altogether.
As in the book, the Arkenstone is given by Bilbo (who, it is revealed, recovered it during his escape from Smaug) to Thranduil and Bard, in order to try to force Thorin to yield a share of the treasure. In the extended edition of the film, it was placed upon Thorin's chest following his death.
There was no sign the Arkenstone had any magical powers, but the size and value of the gemstone itself intensified existing feelings of greed. On top of that, the stone had an immense level of sentimental value for Thorin Oakenshield.
The significance is that it corrupts the person into madness. Thorin was a good guy and so was his grandfather until the got hold of the Arkenstone and they pretty much went mad. The Arkenstone. It symbolizes greed and material love.
Smaug was the last named dragon of Middle-earth. He was slain by Bard, a descendant of Girion, Lord of Dale.
After Thorin's death, his cousin Dáin II Ironfoot of the Iron Hills became king of Durin's folk; and when news reached Durin's folk in the Ered Luin that Erebor was retaken, it is believed that most of them moved to the Lonely Mountain. Therefore, Thorin's hall became a sub-realm of Durin's folk.
In this regard, Smaug covets the Arkenstone because he knows that of all the wealth in Erebor, it is the one thing that the dwarves desire most.
Answer and Explanation: Bilbo gave the Arkenstone to Bard and the Elvenking in order to give them a bargaining chip to use in their discussions with Thorin, who coveted the Arkenstone above all other treasure and would fight anyone to gain possession of it.
Thorin was killed in the battle, as were his sister-sons Kíli and Fíli. As his "rightful heir," Dáin succeeded Thorin as King under the Mountain, and King of all of Durin's folk.
Thorin is buried with the Arkenstone and Orcrist; Kili and Fili, who also died in battle, are buried, too. One-fourteenth of the hoard is given to Bard and some is given to Bilbo. Bilbo leaves with Gandalf, Elvenking, and Beorn and spends yuletide with Beorn, staying with him till spring.
There is nothing to suggest that the Arkenstone could have been a fourth Silmaril, as it is made very clear throughout The Silmarillion that there were only three such jewels, none of which could ever be replicated.
The movies decided to make Sauron the puppet master behind all events, from ordering Azog to kill the dwarves to attacking the armies of good with massive hoards of orcs in The Battle of the Five Armies.
Galadriel has very strong magical powers, and she is said to be the greatest of the Ñoldor after Fëanor. The majority of her powers come from her Ring of Power, Nenya, the Ring of Water.
While he did eventually die, the traditions of the Dwarves held that it was not the end for Durin. According to their lore, Durin would return to rule again, and not just once, but seven times over.
Thorin I (Third Age 2035 – 2289, died aged 254) was the King of Durin's Folk for 99 years, succeeding his father, Thráin I, on his death in T.A. 2190. Thorin was the heir of Durin the Deathless being the great-grandson of Durin VI.
Thorin may have simply not desired marriage, and as his sister, also in the line or Durin, had children, he wasn't really under an obligation to produce offspring.
At last, Gandalf arrives with the head dwarf, Thorin.
That matches the book, but then come Thorin's final words to Bilbo in the film: “Farewell, Master Burglar. Go back to your books, and your armchair. Plant your trees, watch them grow.
Thorin Oakenshield (Thorin II) is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit. Thorin is the leader of the Company of Dwarves who aim to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug the dragon.
