Durin's Folk steadfastly fought Sauron, and often allied with Men and Elves against him (after destruction of Eregion in II Age, in the Last Alliance, and in War of the Ring in III Age).
In the Third Age, there was a settlement of Durin's Folk there and a seat of the king since approximately 2200, TA till 2589, TA, when the Dwarves were for the most part were driven away by the Cold-drakes, a lesser breed of Dragons, yet horrible enough in their rage.

Christopher Tolkien notes that while none of this is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings proper, "Durin VII and Last" is mentioned in the genealogical table accompanying the "Durins Folk" portion of Appendix A in The Lord of the Rings.
And they came out at last through Durins Tower, "carved in the living rock of Zirakzigil, the pinnacle of the Silvertine." (The Two Towers, page 105) In their struggle, Durins Tower was destroyed, and the stair ruined.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Durins Bane
In Appendix A III (Durin's Folk) of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien hints that the Dwarves may in fact not have awoken the Balrog, but that instead it was the growing power of Sauron in nearby Dol Guldur that returned it to life.
Durin was slain by the creature and his son N& I became King.
Despite an ill-fated attempt to recolonise Moria by Balin in III 2989, Durin's Bane remained a dark and brooding menace in the ancient kingdom of the Dwarves, whose nature was hidden to the outside world.

Durin III was probably pretty stealthy on his own, but here he’s got his Dwarven folk with him.
Of course we all know Durin III as he appears in the LotR TCG, but not all are aware of his longstanding friendship with the Elves of Middle-Earth.
Still, I know that Durin III was a strong Dwarf and invariably a smart Dwarf, so I in my deck design I surrounded him with a whole bunch of other Dwarves (seven to be exact), and some gimmicks courtesy of the Black Rider expansion.

 Horizons Warcry - Horizons News, Community and Information
House of Durin was the name chosen for the guild because it means the line of descendants of Durin the Deathless (Durin I), hereditary Dwarven-kings of Durins Folk.
The House of Durin was conceptually founded shortly after the original Horizons project was announced; however, at that time I felt Horizons was too early in development to publicly launch the guild.
The members of the House of Durin are of all age groups, have different levels of role play and MMOG experience, and are from all over the world.

I would like to add that I agree with the idea to which some of ICE's writers have alluded: that not all of Durin's Folk dwelt in Khazad-dûm at its peak.
In addition to settling any dissension, this would have established Durin's line not only as the largest House, but also the one in which ran the blood of all seven of the fathers of the Dwarves.
Tolkien also tells us that Durin was granted a lifespan much longer than that of any other Dwarf, and was thereby known as Durin the Deathless.

This lasted until Durin VI, who was killed by Durin's Bane in 1980 of the Third Age.

 Moria (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, considering the Dwarvish love of Mithril and their longing for their ancient homeland, it is more than likely that Durin's folk dwelt once again beneath the Mountains of Moria in Khazad-dûm.
It is told however that Durin VII and Last may have re-founded Moria, and retrieved what he could of his people's once-mighty riches, but many Dwarves seem to have remained at the Iron Hills, Aglarond, and the refounded Kingdom under the mountain at Erebor.

Durin's Folk, under command of King Durin IV, also aided Elendil and Gil-galad by sending a host of Dwarves from Three of the Seven Houses of Dwarves.
Durin IV survived this siege and afterwards returned to Khazad-dûm.
Fearing the establishment of the powerful kingdoms in exile — Arnor and Gondor — by his hated enemies, the Dúnedain, Sauron launched a preemptive attack on Gondor in S.A. In response, Elendil, High King of the Dúnedain, formed an alliance with Gil-galad, the High King of the Eldar, to repel Sauron's assault.
