YURRI: Reforged
"Yurri? Why, he's the sweetest young dwarf anyone could ever hope to meet! He holds dear a kind heart and gentle soul, and all he wants to do is laugh and drink with that travelling circus of his. He has a strong work ethic, and he doesn't waste a day!" - Hadhilda Firebeard, T.A. 2766.
"Once I were in a sorry state - my daughter was running to and fro about the streets of Dale, and sure enough she tripped and made a nasty gash on her knee. I told her it would be so! But sure enough, standing near was Yurri, wearing his winning smile. He broke off from his other business once spotting the accident, and consoled my daughter with me until her pain subsided. He even gifted her a toy from the market here, before heading on his way! I hope to see him again to thank him proper, but it's been days!" - Jane Powell, T.A. 2767.
"Delicious, scrumptious, and truly flavoursome to the core- hm, sorry? Oh, Yurri? I thought we were discussing cake!" - Hroldr Foulwind, T.A. 2767.
"Yurri! Awww, why he's wonderful so he is! He's so well-spoken, I do love that deep, rich voice of his. Big arms too, it's clear that he's an active, physical sort! And sometimes when you look into his green eyes, you can't help but feel this sensation of peace wash over you..... I'm sorry, what were you saying?" - Agulfa Hardhand, T.A 2768.
"Speak his name, and you can't help but smile! Yurri's a rather splendid sort, if you're asking for the truth - and it gives me great pleasure to share it with you! He's always lending aid to dwarves and men alike, and very few that meet him can resist his charms. Unfortunately, his father Turri thinks rather little of him..." - Rhyga Ironarm, T.A. 2769.
"My wee laddy Yurri, brings great shame to those o'Erebor! The Dale folk take most kindly to him, and he spends more time in the settlements of men than he does here, with his own people, under the mountain! A company of actors has tainted my boy, and robbed him of courage and good sense both!" - Turri Bronzebreaker, T.A. 2769.
"Yurri?! Bargh! Agh! Yurri! Fall back! Yur-...argh! This wretched inferno has parted us, but for nay much longer than this dragon would deem! Get Hadhilda and her line out of here, and then -agh-, come back for me! Do you hear me boy?! Come back for me!" - Turri Bronzebreaker, T.A. 2770.
"The fire serpant... it burnt it all down. It's all gone. All of it. Our homes. Our families. It's all ashes! We've drifted without end since then under the leadership of Thorin, son of Thrain, taking work wherever we may. I fear greatly for Yurri... he hasn't said a word in weeks." - Hadhilda Firebeard, T.A. 2770.
"Has anyone seen Yurri? Might you have seen Yurri? Yurri? Yurri?! Please return to our company! Your father wouldn't want you to be out in the wilds alone!" - Hadhilda Firebeard, T.A. 2770.
"Yurri? Never heard of him. I did see a dwarf pass through here though, down by Grimslade. About two weeks past it was. He left an awful mess he did - body parts of orcs there were, all scattered around the plain and gruesomely disassembled. I despise the orc-kind, but even so... what a way to go. Still, what business could a stray dwarf have in Rohan? Should I alert the thane, you think?" - Yogunheim Barthollowmew, T.A. 2775.
"Aye, I saw a dwarf alright, lurking about the ruins of Esteldin. Drank all my ale, barely said a word that wasn't a curse or insult of some kind. Told him to be on his way and he broke my damn leg by way of response. If you do find him, I wouldn't cross him." - Skeeter Blackburrow, T.A. 2888.
"Yurri's dead. Leave me alone." - Hadhilda Firebeard, T.A. 2900.
"In truth, no dwarf took Erebor's fall as hard as Yurri. That dragon snuffed out his spirits at the first he descended on the kingdom breathing his fire. Dead now, of course, but Yurri's still... well, Yurri. I heard he survived that battle of those five armies too. But with the loss of his king and all else that's happened... well, one wonders if there's any way back from all that misery." - Radbram Steelseeker, T.A. 2941.
"Yurri? Don't talk to me about Yurri. I spit at mere mention of his name. The day that old dwarf arrived in Bree, all our spirits did sour. Now leave me alone, hm? I won't spend another word on him.... I might if he pays me the silvers he owes, though!" - Hemling Welter, T.A. 3014
"Oi! Oi! Fellows, look! Old Yurri's arrived at The Prancing Pony tavern once again. Let's watch Barliman's face for when he sees him! Wait for it... wait for it... hahahaha! Oh dear, look, his colour has completely gone! Never has a Bree-Lander look so dismayed!" - Tidbo Huckleberry, T.A. 3016.
"Just don't look at him, and maybe he'll leave us be- YURRI! How wonderful to see you again, my dear friend!" - Ramsy Huckleberry, T.A. 3016.
"My nose! My nose! Someone lend aid, Yurri has broken my nose... again!" - Roger Loughhead, T.A. 3017.
"That dwarf is responsible for a great many of my woes, and I've jailed him more times than I can count. I were the one that saw him arrive here in Bree. Standing at my post I was, looking out eastward from the gate. Saw his horse keel over, dead - he'd pushed it too hard, you see. I tell you, if I knew then what I know now... I would have turned him away at the first." - Constable Comstock Shelley, T.A. 3018.
"You know? Yurri's not so bad. He's angry, he's rude, he's juvenile... but somewhere in there, there is a noble and proud dwarf indeed. It'll take some work digging it out, but there's glimmers of hope." - Mr. Nobody, T.A. Never Happened.
"Bugger off, yer wee gits! Leave me ter me drink, or I swear yer'll feel righteous dwarrow fury!" Yurri, T.A. Today.
