Durin is a figure from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, appearing primarily in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. He is the mythical progenitor of the Dwarves, often referred to as the "Father of the Dwarves" or "The Deathless" in Sindarin, one of the Elvish languages. The Hebrew translation for "Durin" is דורין. In Finnish, it is Durin, and in Spanish, it is also Durin. According to Tolkien's lore, Durin was the first of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, awakened by Eru Ilúvatar at Mount Gundabad. He is said to have lived for an extraordinarily long time, with each subsequent Durin being a reincarnation of the original, a concept known as the "Secret Fire." The Dwarves of Middle-earth revered Durin as a semi-divine figure, and his name is often invoked in their songs and legends. The Durin's Folk, one of the three great clans of Dwarves, trace their lineage back to him, and the city of Khazad-dûm (later known as Moria) was founded under his leadership.
