MS593 Bogatung needs only a little assembly for her arms. Gloin does not need any assembly. If you are wondering what the Fellowshup Club is all about, then read up on it here and sign up so YOUR idea may become reality. Its a unique club that gives all its members the opportunity to have their ideas turned into genuine Mithril miniatures, if they win the monthly vote. Simple and elegant in its service, Mithril has run this club for over 8 years with great success.

Gloin was a Dwarf of Durin’s line and was part of Thorin Oakenshield’s famous expedition to retake the mountain kingdom of Erebor from the worm Smaug. After the re-establishment of the kingdom under-the-mountain, Gloin became wealthy and was later sent together with his son Gimli to represent the Erebor dwarves at the council of Elrond in T.A. 3018.

Bogatung was the oldest resident of Laketown with a fearsome reputation for magical power and a daunting physical presence. Years before she had been a priestess of a local Esgaroth cult but now, despite her great age, blindness and hunched appearance, struck awe and fear in those who encountered her. She had a great reputation for foretelling the future.
