dwarves

Something for our eventual games forum: Paint 'em and put 'em on your table, or leave them as is to decorate your Tolkien bookshelves. From here: https://achesoncreations.com/index.php/products/masters/dungeon-worlds-figure Note: NOT made of mithril.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for anyone who can tell me how to write my son's name, Thorin, in Dwarven Cirth Runes. Specifically the Mode of Erebor. From what I've seen, different dwarven clans used different versions of Cirth for themselves and Im looking for the Mode of Erebor since Thorin is an...

And what are their names?

In my research on the Dwarvish City of Belegost or Gabilgathol, I have repeatedly found people saying Belegost wasn’t destroyed. They part of the unfinished tales where he mentions there were dwarves still in Ered Luin. WELL OF COURSE THERE ARE. There was Forbelegost, and several others. It’s...

Seven was enough for the Brothers Grimm and they knew how to tell a tale or two. Having just finished reading The Hobbit it occurred that not all the dwarfs have fully fleshed out characters and it can be difficult to remember who is who. Do we know why Tolkien chose thirteen?

Alright, so if you've read the Silmarillion than you know that Quendi and Atani, Elves and Men, are the Children of Iluvatar, the personal creations of Eru during the third theme of the Ainulindale. Dwarves are what may be called Aulehini, the Children of Aule. Dwarves are generally not regarded...

This is a Dwarven War Cry I never knew I needed. CL

From what I understand, Melkor aka Morgoth lost a lot of his power as it was dispersed into his creations. This is from Morgoth's Ring: So Aulë created the dwarves. Did he have to disperse some of his power in order to create them too? I know that Eru was aware of their creation and adopted...

Are the 7 dwarf rings destroyed by Smaug. I remember that they said that the rings could only be destroyed by dragon fire and mount doom so were the rings destroyed.:confused:o_O

Hi there. Please forgive me if I am mistaken in anything I say but this is how I remember it. In the chapter "of aule and yavanna" dwarves are made by aule and then allowed to come to life (only when the elves do) but then also yavanna is allowed the Ents, but she doesn't literally create them...

I've always wandered about this and I've done a lot of research and I just posted my first video on LoTR vs WoW dwarves because these are the fantasy worlds I know most about. My opinion is LoTR dwarves would win 1v1 combat and prolonged war, while WoW dwarves would win single battles between...

So I'm looking to get a tattoo in Dwarfish, just want to make sure I don't have it wrong first :P I'm wanting the numbers "4 8 15 16 23 42", this is what I've got so far:

Dwarves are known for their craftsmanship, therefore they can build great siege weapons catapults, ballistas, etc. to take down these creatures. Dwarves are naturally more resistant to fire than other races and are superior in crafting armor and weapons. Morally and physically they are great...

If not, why?

...I predict that Legolas is going to help the Dwarves somehow. After all, he's a "good guy." ...But how would that explain the Gimli grudge?:*confused: If not Legolas, then it shall be the lass Tauriel that shall "do and dare" for the Dwarves "in durance vile.":*D We shall see. We...

In the Hobbit movie - part 3; When Roac (chief of the raven of the Lonely Mountain) sent some messengers (fellow and much younger and also probably talking ravens just like him) to the Iron Hills to carry Thorin's request for Dain to send some reinforcement, surely we will see PJ's...

I understand that there have been a couple of topics discussing the anatomies of Tolkien's races, including Dwarves. However, one detail still escapes me that I've been trying to determine from Tolkien's writings, and that is the general estimation of the Dwarves' height. Many sources, including...

Ever since I read a posted question on one of Prince of Cat's threads concerning Thrain, and his resistance to Sauron. This post got me thinking a lot about dwarves. This lead me to think about the characteristics of dwarves. One thing that stands out to me is how irregular Gimli is for a...

So, I'll admit I've been a bit of a grump about "The Hobbit" movie, grumbling about dwarf character designs and harboring my doubts about splitting the book into two movies — added bits and all. But then I saw the latest production video and I went a little bit gooey inside...

Okay I know that there were 7 fathers of the dwarves. However, I am unsure where they lived and who the others are. Off the top of my head I am aware of: 1.) Durin's line (Khazad-dum) 2.) Belegost 3.) Nogrod 4.) Petty Dwarfs (Nargothrond) Does anyone know about the other 3?
