SMAUG

History: In TA 2770, Smaug came down from the mountains in the north, drawn by great whealth within the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor. Seeking to claim the mountain and its treasure for himself, he layed waste to the neighboring city of dale before he got to the mountain, killing most of the Dwarves there while some escaped. For two centuries he layed undisturbed, occasionally waking to kill the rare theif, until the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, part of the company of Thorin Oakenshield, tried to steal the Arkenstone. Using the one ring, bilbo hid from smaug, taunting him in the shadows. Smaug assuming he's from Laketown, a neighboring town, he breaks out of Erebor and destroys most of laketown, but before he could destroy it he is killed by bard, a sort of hero for the town.

DURIN'S BANE

History: Durin's Bane was one of the Majar spirits that existed before the creation of the world who descended into Arda with the Valar. It was eventually corrupted by Melkor, becoming one of the Valaraukar and joining the other balrogs in Morgoths service. The Balrog fought in many battles of the War of the Jewels, up to and including the War of Wrath. It somehow managed to survive Morgoth's defeat, fleeing East and taking refuge beneath the misty mountains. For more than five thousand years the Balrog lay dormant, until disturbed by Dwarves mining there. He killed all of them including Durin, which gave him the name Durin's Bane. The Balrog had a important role in the Battle of Azanulbizar. In TA 2799, the dwarves finally defeated the Orcs occupiying Moria, but Dain ll Ironfoot, having slayed the orc azog, felt the terror of the Balrog at the gate and declared that Moria itself remained beyond their power to conquer. Despite an attempt to recolonize Moria by Balin in TA 2989, Durin's Bane remained a menace in the ancient Kingdom of Moria, its true nature hidden from the outside world. In January of TA 3019, the Fellowship of the Ring entered moria, expecting a living army of dwarves. What they got instead was a kingdom filled with the bodies of dwarves. Fast foward one of the Hobbits in the Company named Pippin created a large noise, which disturbed the orcs and goblins of moria. While escaping the rucuss awoke Durin's Bane, were the Balrog would the fight the wizard named gandalf on a bridge. Gandalf sent the balrog crashing off the bridge into the abiss, but the bridge collapsed and sent Gandalf with it. They plunged in the waters bellow, which quenched the Balrogs flame. The Balrog escaped Moria, leaving Gandalf in hot pursuit. The chase led them to the top of the peak of Zirakzigil, were they fought for three days. They ended up killing eachother, except Gandalf was ressurected as Gandalf the White.
