The seven Rings

[Ståle]

What was the names of the dwarven tribes then?

 

[Snaga]

Welcome Taranir!

Scatha didn't get one of these Rings cos' The Ring of Durins folk wasn't in that dwarven kingdom. It was held by the king of Erebor.

Maybe you are confusing Smaug with Scatha. You're right that Smaug didn't consume the ring given to Durin but I thing it is a possible that Scatha got a different one. Why? Because supposedly each of the 7 rings was supposedly the foundation of a great hoard of dwarf treasure, and Scatha is known to have destroyed a dwarf colony and got their hoard. That's only inference though.

I agree with your assertion VoK. Surely the hoard of Scatha the Wurm had a Dwarven Ring in it. But of course, he melted it down for the gold!!

 

[Snaga]

Well he couldn't get it on his finger could he? There's a scary thought: an invisible dragon

Scatha and Smaug

I'm not confusing these two drakes. there was only one Ring in each tribe and the kingdom Scatha destroyed was one of Longbeards' kingdoms. The ring was in Erebor at the time! And the treasure on Scatha wasn't big enough to be understood as one of these seven treasures.
Ståle: Where did you get those names?

Sorry

I ment Pippin, not Ståle.
