Dwarves (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fundin was killed beneath the East Gate of Khazad-dum in the climatic Battle of Azanulbizar during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Náin son of Grór was killed at the Battle of Nanduhirion, and the rule of the Dwarves of the Iron Hills passed to his grandson, Dáin II Ironfoot. He once referred to dwarves as "a piece of private bad grammar" (Letters, 17), but in Appendix F to The Lord of the Rings he explains that if we still spoke of dwarves regularly, English might have retained a special plural for the word dwarf as with man. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Thorin_I   (2102 words)

Races of Middle Earth Dwarves persist elsewhere in Middle Earth, in the Iron Hills and in the Blue Mountains, but they are not numerous.

Beleriand MUSH - Dwarves As the children of Aulë, Dwarves are naturally attracted to substances, to the depths of the earth, and to crafts; they are great miners and craftsmen and work wonders with stone, metal, and jewels. The Dwarves of the two great mansions of the Blue Mountains are called the Great Dwarves, as a comparison to the other sub-race of Dwarves in Beleriand: the Petty-dwarves. The language of the Dwarves is Khuzdul, Dwarvish, which was taught to the Fathers by Aulë himself, whom the Dwarves name Mahal. beleriand.mux.net /dwarves.html   (1030 words)

Mountains of Middle-earth The Dwarves abandoned the Grey Mountains and dispersed to the Lonely Mountain and the Iron Hills. During the War of the Dwarves and the Orcs (2793-2799), the Dwarves assailed and sacked the Orc stronghold at Gundabad. Irensaga was the northernmost, near the mouth of the valley; the Dwimorberg - where the entrance to the Paths of the Dead was located - was in the middle; and the Starkhorn was the southernmost, near the head of the valley. www.tuckborough.net /mountains.html   (6332 words)

One Risus to Rule Them All... Dwarves and even orcs may also consider many of their craft works similarly “magical”. Similar too are the works of dwarves who are themselves “blessed” creatures of a sort. This is based on the idea that even a master craftsman would only make a certain number of truly spectacular artifacts in his or her lifetime. mmkurko.home.att.net   (2510 words)

Dwarves t is told that in their beginning the Dwarves were made by Aulë in the darkness of Middle-earth; for so greatly did Aulë desire the coming of the Children, to have learners to whom he could teach his lore and crafts, that he was unwilling to await the fulfilment of the designs of Ilúvatar.... Dwarves have an origin different from any other race in Middle-earth. But Ilúvatar had compassion upon Aulë and his desire, because of his humility; and the Dwarves shrank from the hammer and were afraid; and they bowed down their heads and begged for mercy. fan.theonering.net /middleearthtours/dwarves.html   (531 words)

Objects of Middle-earth Before the Dwarves could act, an army of Goblins and Wargs led by Bolg arrived and the Dwarves, Elves, and Men had to join forces to defeat them in the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo justified his "burglary" by telling himself that the Dwarves had said he could pick his share of the treasure, but deep down he realized that the Arkenstone was exempt from this and that trouble would come of it. Sauron promised to return the three remaining Rings of the Dwarves in exchange for the One Ring found by Bilbo Baggins, who was known to the Dwarves. www.tuckborough.net /objects.html   (5649 words)

Middle-earth Tolkien's mythological tales of Middle-earth are meant to be taken, fictitiously, as an ancient history of the Earth, particularly of Europe, from several thousand years before the lands took their present shape. It is consistently misspelled as 'Middle Earth' by journalists. These are the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game from Decipher Inc.[?] and the Middle Earth Role Play game (MERP) from Iron Crown Enterprises. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/mi/Middle-Earth.html   (692 words)

Music in Middle-Earth Concerning musical instruments in Middle-earth, the Dwarves play "little fiddles," "flutes," "clarinets," "viols," "drums," and a "harp." In "Frodo's Song at Bree," a cat plays a "fiddle." "Durin's Song" mentions "harps" and "trumpets." In the Middle Ages, the harp was a basic instrument that was strummed between lines in Germanic lays. The evolution of poetry and song in the Middle Ages was away from unrhymed rhythmical alliterative songs toward the metrical rhymed lines of modern poetry and music. Exceptions are the music of the Dwarves in Bilbo's house in The Hobbit (which may be a pre-LOR carelessness) and perhaps the music in Rivendell, especially the "Song of Earendil," though it may be an example of standard Germanic chant. www.cas.unt.edu /~hargrove/music.html   (1749 words)

IGN: Battle for Middle-earth II - The Dwarves The Dwarves are the tank faction in Battle for Middle-earth II. The Dwarves are a hardy race that live under the mountains of Middle-earth.

Chronology of Middle Earth In the north of Eriador, the power of Galadriel (with the use of Nenya-the second of the three Elven Rings) kept L?rien free from the Enemy's attacks and help heal some of the ravages to Middle-earth, but to the Men of Rohan and Gondor, she seemed mysterious and dangerous. The dwarves were soon captured too when they tried to discover what had become of their hobbit friend. A major battle between the elves and men on one side and the dwarves on the other appeared imminent when Gandalf came to warn of a greater disaster at hand: an army of orcs was bearing down on them all. lotrscrapbook.bookloaf.net /ref/synopsis.html   (7364 words)

The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Khuzdul - the secret tongue of the Dwarves Then the Dwarves actually "were not unwilling to teach their own tongue to Men with whom they had special friendship, but Men found it difficult and were slow to learn more than isolated words, many of which they adapted and took into their own language." (PM:303. The Dwarves were descended from Seven Fathers and were divided into Seven Kindreds - and as we know, dwarfs (sic!) are still associated with the number seven even in very late and very childish Mannish mythology. However, the Dwarves did not feel that it was improper to reveal the names of places. tolkien.cro.net /mearth/tolklang/khuzdul.html   (3983 words)

Them Dwarves, Them Dwarves! Hence, Elrond and the fall of Gondolin intrude into Bilbo's business with the Dwarves, and later on there is an obscure reference to Thingol's mysterious conflict with a family of Dwarves not related to Thorin Oakenshield's people. Interesting suggestions are made here as to the actual “birth” of the Dwarves that are perhaps along the same line of th... But it's important to understand how Tolkien's conception of the Dwarves evolved, for as his ideas changed so did their imaginary history. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/tolkien/28918   (498 words)

The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Magic in Middle-earth Dwarves, men, hobbits, orcs, and the other races of Middle-earth are seemingly devoid of "inherent power", and can not perform magical effects. The Númenóreans created swords with spells on them, and the dwarves made the Helm of Hador and used runes of power. They certainly could perform supernatural feats, but this power should be considered as "divine power" and not magic. tolkien.cro.net /mearth/magic.html   (716 words)
