GAEA Mobile acquired the game, along with some other titles in mid-2016. As the license was soon to expire, The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth has gone lost in history on June 30th, 2017.

Erebor in The Lord of the Rings With the restoration of the Kingdom under the Mountain, the area becomes prosperous again. Dale is rebuilt under Bard's leadership, and Dwarves and Men reforge their friendship. Some of the Dwarves, led by Balin, leave Erebor to reclaim the ancient Dwarvish Kingdom of Moria.

The reasons for the Elves inviting him are clear given his destruction of the One Ring and Sauron, but Frodo's reasons for accepting are less so. Ultimately, it was the injuries that the ring-bearer Frodo endured on his journey that pushed him to leave Middle-earth.

Dáin They all united against the common enemy, and so was fought the Battle of Five Armies in the valley of Dale. Thorin was killed in the battle, as were his sister-sons Kíli and Fíli. As his "rightful heir," Dáin succeeded Thorin as King under the Mountain, and King of all of Durin's folk.

It is said that Frodo experiences pain from his injuries on every anniversary since he received them. Metaphorically speaking, Frodo says this because he feels he can never truly get over the events of The Lord of the Rings and move on with his life.

Frodo was so wounded/hurt/damaged/ptsd by the terrible burden of the Ring, being wounded by the Witch King's cursed blade, and poisoned by Shelob, that he could not live a "normal" life in the Shire anymore. He was allowed to go to the Undying Lands to find peace and healing.

Dáin II Ironfoot Azog was an Orc-chieftain of Moria, who started the War of the Dwarves and Orcs when he slew Thrór. He was himself slain by Dáin II Ironfoot in the Battle of Azanulbizar, and was succeeded by his son Bolg.

2931 years old In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers.

Fíli, born in T.A. 2859, was 82 years old at the time. Kíli, born in T.A. 2864, was 77 years old at the time. The age of Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori and Ori has been left unknown. However, we know that Balin was the eldest of the Dwarves after Thorin and that Fíli and Kíli were the youngest “by some fifty years”.

At the end of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo sets sail for the Undying Lands, which implies that he will live in peace and harmony for all eternity. This is where the immortal Elves come from (most recently) and where they return to when they find that their work in Middle-earth is done.

Lord of the Rings did not have a purely happy ending. Sauron was defeated yes, but Frodo failed in his quest and succumbed to the Ring's temptation. He was also so full of pain that he had to leave his friends and his home. Middle-earth was not necessarily better at the end than at the beginning.
