Jorin in fiction

• If you’re wondering why the name Jorin sounds familiar, “Lord of the Rings” could be the right answer. But not quite – one character in the popular book series isn’t named Jorin, but Thorin. But still, the name Thorin inspired many “Lord of the Rings” fans to give the name Jorin, because it has an equally beautiful sound and is not so clearly associated with the book series. The “Lord of the Rings” book series was written by J. R. R. Tolkien and greatly revolutionized the genre of fantasy. Many of today’s works in the genre still make use of Tolkien’s creations, such as the characters of the orcs and elves. Thorin II, known as Thorin Oakenshield is a member of the royal house of the dwarves of Erebor. He went to the Lonely Mountain together with the hobbit Bilbo Baggins to kill the dragon Smaug. In the film versions of the story Thorin was portrayed by Richard Armitage.
• Another fictional character is Jorin Deadeye from the online video game franchise “World of Warcraft”. Jorin is an Orc and a Warchief of the Bleeding Hollow clan.
