Mined in Erebor around T.A. 1999. this is a priceless, brilliant jewel, clear with an inner glow of white flame. Not unlike the sceptres of human rulers, it serves as the Dwarven symbol of lordship over the "Kingdom Under the Mountain." In T.A. 2770. Smaug the Golden seized this prize jewel after chasing the Dwarves of Erebor from their home. Treasured as "The-Heart-ofthe- Mountain." it was more wondrous than any other work of the Dwarves of Erebor, and it belonged to Thorin's father and his father before him. Its light and beauty were such as to make even the Elvenking stare in amazement.
The great gem was later recovered by Bilbo Baggins in 2941 as he explored Smaug's riches. Bilbo kept the Arkenstone for himself for a time, and Thorin searched the hoard for it in vain after the demise of the golden Dragon. Bilbo gave it to the Elves and Men beseiging Erebor in an attempt to force Thorin to reconcile himself with them and give them a share of the Dragon's wealth.
This worked only passingly well, but the Free Peoples united and Thorin forgot the Arkenstone temporarily when faced by the armies of the Wolves and Goblins. During the ensuing battle, Thorin II was slain, pierced by arrows, but he had his heart's desire, for he was entombed under Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, in T.A. 2941. and Bard of Dale laid the Arkenstone of Thrain lay upon his chest.
