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.
And so, as we look at the development of Durin III with the release of Black Rider for the LotR TCG, it is only fitting that he be featured in a deck with his friends the Elves.
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.

Later it became known that Durin's Bane was one of the Balrogs, Maia of fire corrupted early by Morgoth, who, escaping destruction in Thangorodrim during War of Wreath, had hidden himself in the depths of Moria.
However, judging from the fact that among the victims were both Durin VI and his son Náin I, the loses were probably heavy.
Only one person is reported to have seen Durin's Bane between 1981, III, and 3018, III, and the witness was young Dáin Ironfoot, later the king of Durin's folk, who saw the Balrog through the gate of Moria where he slew the great goblin Azog during the Battle of Azanulbizar.

They remained hidden, and the whereabouts of two were not revealed until the end of the Third Age, after the One Ring was destroyed, and the Dark Lord Sauron was overthrown (Galadriel reveals her posession of one of the rings to Frodo in Fellowship of the Ring).
Sauron gave the Seven Rings to the Dwarf-kings (although according to Dwarvish tradition the Elves gave one of them to the Dwarf Durin III) and the Nine Rings to Mortal Men.
