Dwalin Statue (1:6 scale)
- Undertaking to return to Erebor, the lost kingdom of the Dwarves, wherein a Dragon lay waiting, Thorin Oakenshield seeks to gather a Company of able souls of diverse skills & unshakable conviction. As the heir to the stolen throne & upon whose shoulders the future of the line of Durin depends, Thorin Oakenshield feels keenly the threat of failure & what it will bring – a fiery death for himself & the loss of his people’s hope.
To that end, Thorin Oakenshield calls upon those whom he can trust above all others, & in none could his faith be more certain than Dwalin the Dwarf, his cousin & friend. Tall for a Dwarf & a warrior of renown among his kind, Dwalin the Dwarf has fought at Thorin Oakenshield’s side many times & the two spar regularly to hone each others skills. More like a brother than distant kin, Dwalin the Dwarf is loyal to the last hair in his beard & would willingly lay down his own life if it would save Thorin Oakenshield’s.
In battle the scarred old warrior wields the mighty axes Ukhlat & Umraz, & a great hammer near as tall as he stands. Upon his arms & scalp are tattoos as angular & hard-edged in design as the Dwarf himself, & upon his brow is knitted a frown etched by years hardship. Yet Dwalin the Dwarf is not cheerless, for Dwarves feel all things deeply. Grudges he bears, but Dwalin the Dwarf also laughs loudest & with all his heart in times of mirth & celebration. No stronger second could Thorin Oakenshield have hoped for in his quest.
