dwarves

We all find out that the elves leave middle earth and sail west, but happens to dwarves? How do they disappear? And wahat happens to Hobbits as well, I've been told that they evolve with men.

I know the Eagles are not partial to any one race, but help out where they can. However, the following lines perplex me a bit: So, do the Eagles not like Dwarves for some reason? Or am I just reading too much into it?

one who finally dared... Traitor I am and always be. Even most precious gem could not save me from vengeance hunting me... Gather around me, lads (lasses can come, too, if they're not scared, of course;)), gather around me... for I give you The Tale of Mîm the Petty-dwarf Who were...

In "The Gathering of the Clouds," Thorin says to Roac: I was always under the impression that at the time of the Battle of Five Armies, the only dwarf-settlements in the West of Middle-earth were in the Iron Hills and in the Blue Mountains. Were there other dwarves living in the Grey...

From "Flies and Spiders": Assuming that "they" indeed refers to the Woodland Elves, does anybody know when they might have warred with dwarves?

Aragorn tells Gandalf that he fancied the 'Ents' were a myth or a Rohhiric invention. Yet, presumably Aragorn knows all of the Tale of Tinúviel. It was of course a 'Númenórean' tale (M.T; HoME 10) and thus Aragorn should have been told _all_ of it, at Rivendell (Elrond would have known the full...

If I understand correctly the whole of the Dwarf population fled from Khazad-dûm because of one Balrog. Surely they would have been able to kill it ? Dwarves might not be as powerful as High Elves but surely a few hundred Dwarves must have been able to kill one silly Balrog if Elves could slay...

If Aulë only made male dwarves then how were more dwarves meant to come into the world without any females?

I'm really shocked by the dwarves indifference with the war of the ring and the fate of ME. After all they were invited to the council, being one of the most important free people in ME, which would suffer its fate and were bound to the ring's fate then. Sending Gimli doesn't represent ANYTHING...

I know this may seem silly, as most people will stand by the fact that the Elves are the oldest race in middle-earth, but I just want to suggest something. In the Silmarillion we are told of one of the Valar, Aule, creating the Dwarves out of a desire to have learners whom he could teach his...

Hi all! I havent read LOTR for a good few years now and dont have my book with me here (it is at my house at university). But even so, i havent yet read any other tolkien works besides Hobbit and the first few pages of The Sil. So i just wondered, as far as i remember hearing, Middle Earth is...

Gnomes have been mentioned many times in HOME. Were Gnomes the name of dwarves before tolkien decided what he wanted?

well elves have married men, and vise versa. But have dwarves ever married an Elf or Man. thats just been something i have been wondering.

Yet men do not. Pointy ears. Why are men the only ones without them? It is not because they are mortal, because hobbits and dwarves have them. So... WHY?? Gah, it's been bothering me forever!!! Somebody help me!!!! Perplexed.

What is your most favorite, exotic food that reminds you of Middle Earth? At Mapleside Farms they're hosting "Wild Game Night" tonight and tomorrow, and I had the grand pleasure of attending the feast tonight! :) For atmosphere, the inside resembles a Dwarvish Hall ... dimly lit in a...

here's a new thread for you Hobbit scholars out there. Gandal arrives in Hobbiton one sunny day in May, chats to BIlbo, who invites him to tea. Gandalf arrives, but so do 13 dwarves, who have been led to believe - by Gandalf no less - that they are going to a prearranged meeting with a...

I was thinking about Dwarves and Galadriel tonight and female dwarves having beards and Gimli thinking that Galadriel was so beautiful. . . Wouldn't somone whose mother was bearded have a different standard of beauty? Or do all dwarves secretly wish their women looked more like elves?

Another topic taken from the Debate-Tournament. I really wondered where this should be posted, but I ended up here. Will the inborn greed be the downfall of the dwarven race? Enjoy:)

As I am making my way through BOLT 2, I am noticing some interchangeability between the references to dwarves and orcs. It is as if JRRT at some point considered them to be one and the same. A clear example of this is found in "Turin and the Foaloke" where the famous Mim the petty dwarf from...
