But in the actual account, Thrain didn't just go missing one day. It is actually a very creepy tale

Of who he and his companions, setting out for Erebor, were pursued by evil wargs and wicked birds, and by ill fortunes, throughout wilderland, until a fierce storm forced them to camp under the trees of Mirkwood. . . and that in the morning, Thrain was gone. It is a much more errie tale, though I will admit, Khazad-Dum was always intriguing as long as a Balrog held dominion there.I expect it's supposed to regard events prior to the Hobbit. Rather than Thrain just going missing one day and taken to Dol Guldur, he tried to take Moria (a disaster from which Balin escaped) and was captured by Sauron's agents. A minor change. "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

I wonder if it won't be the Balin connection.

I am one of those "purists" though less extreme than many Lol. At least the Visual Companion does say Galadriel is the mightiest ELF

That can still be the case - it doesn't justify changing the ages. /

Yes, but Thrain doesn't just go missing one day from Moria...

Yes, weird that Ori who seems to be the youngest has more of a beard than Kili...

Thrain entering so soon after the battle of Azanalbizar would seem to fly in the face

I don't think it works as well as literary version, if this is the case

I think both scenes are very creepy and powerful in their own way, and I think both merit displaying.

The suggestion remains that Thrain was taken to Dol Guldur.
