From a "Lord Of The Rings" wiki:
Thorin and Company was a group of thirteen
Dwarves, the Wizard Gandalf, and the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins that were led by
Thorin Oakenshield.
Their purpose was to regain the lost Dwarven kingdom of
the Lonely Mountain (Erebor) from the Dragon Smaug. Successful at the conclusion
of the Battle of the Five Armies, the group paved the way for the future defeat
of Sauron and the restoration of peace in Middle-Earth.
The formation of the group grew out of a meeting Gandalf had with Thorin in Bree which led to his interest in recapturing his long lost family inheritance. Remembering that he had once known an adventurous Hobbit on his travels in The Shire, Gandalf decided to add Bilbo to their company because he knew that stealth and cunning were preferable to force. The superstitious Dwarfs also considered thirteen to be an unlucky number of persons, and as Gandalf had planned to leave on other business, needed an additional man to fill their party.
The deeds of Thorin and Company led to the restoration of the dwarvish dynasty in the Lonely Mountain, the Kingdom of Dale, the rebuilding of Lake-town and restoration of peace and prosperity in the immediate area for many years. In the long term, the journey of Thorin and Company and the situations it created led to the Council of Elrond and the formation of the Fellowship of the Ring many years later. It also depleted the forces of evil so that later Sauron would have less of them to call upon during the War of the Ring.
