GLASS. The leader who sits on a throne of glass values honesty and integrity. They rule their kingdom democratically and will uphold justice at any cost. Their intelligence and perception is unrivalled in any of the surrounding lands. They will always be transparent with their views, and be true to their people and what they stand for. However, it is unwise to lie to a ruler of glass - they can see right through any deception, and believe dishonesty to be the most severe of crimes.

Thorin was closest with his mother, and admired her the most growing up. Yes, he obviously has tremendous respect as well as affection for his father and grandfather; they were strong and fair leaders, and they loved him dearly. But there was still a measure of distance there, as they were both his father/grandfather and his kings. His mother was the one who got him into blacksmithing and taught him for years, who always listened to his worries and complaints, who would share her dessert with him at dinner (something he then did for his siblings later), and who always kissed his forehead after he’d volunteer to bring her lunch in the forges (before he was old enough to start learning the craft). ]
