In the early afternoon of MiddleEarth, the dwarven prince Thorin, called “Oakenshield”, of the House of Durin, and his kith Bimbur Nightwalker, Bombur the Irritable, Balin Lore-Master, sanguine Dwalin, shy Falin, Oin Wetsleeve, and Gloin the Dim were attacked by a band of orcs in the Eastern Mirkwood. During the fierce battle, the orc chieftain Datsauglibasdid sundered Thorin's stout oak shield with a mighty blow of his warhammer. The orc's backswing took Thorin directly in the crotch. The dwarf fought on, undaunted, and finally decapitated Datsauglibasdid with a great cut of his ax. After the battle, Dwarven clans hailed the prince as Thorin Oakennuts.
Later, after Thorin’s beard fell out and revealed the pale flesh of his cheeks, they called him "Snow White".
