Just wanna say. I always go back to your channel when I need more lore videos on Tolkien's world. I love your lore and the way you explain them. I have wanted to know more on the Blue Mountains!
This is a first for me: I don't think I have seen a new video within one minute of it being uploaded from any of my subscriptions. Great work, as always!
I've always loved the dwarves of the ered luin, ever since reading the silmarillion, playing lord of the rings online, and playing the medieval two total war mod divide and conquer. I even played an ered luin dwarf in a middle earth D&D campaign. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you for covering Dwarf history. I find the dwarf realms fascinating. Given the elf-centric nature of the Silmarilian we have a lot less about dwarves so I like to take in all the info I can. Is there more about the four clans in the mountains of Rhun?
Good job! I've always been interested about the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains. Didn't know it was the Valars that unintentionally made this mountain range upon pushing Middle-earth further away from Valinor.
Tolkien was the best! I've been reading alot of fantasy lately (book two of the Wheel of Time currently), and his influence is EVERYWHERE. Makes me happy to see the wonderful places his legacy has gone.
I am still disappointed there are no Purple Mountains in Middle Earth. There are blue, red, white, gray, and yellow mountains, so why not purple mountains?
I think Mindolluin (behind Minas Tirith) could count as one. It is described as having a snow-capped peak and high glens which cast deep purple shadows in the morning light. 💜😊
14:44 at this time any idea what the population of Lindon is? They don't really seem to play a role in the War of the Ring, at least they didn't send any troops.
I have been followinhmg this channel forever. I don't think I ever have not heard a thank you to Tomdabombadill19. This must be one if the biggest Tolkiens fans around! I like to express my personal thanks to this legend as well.
i love the dwarves just as much as the elves. when watching & listening to the stories told of the books i get an understanding that the dwarves get asked to create something for the elves & then the dwarves refuse to give them the crafted item resulting in war & hate between the races. tragic they could be astoundingly strong allies if these things didn't happen.
Wonderful episode as usual Matt. 👍 I do have a question maybe someone can help me with as I'm not well read in the deeper lore. If Illuvitar is the only one who can bestow the spark of life, how was Melkor able to give life to the Dragons? Unlike the Dwarves pre Eru, they are capable of independent thoughts and action. Thanks 🇨🇦✌🖖
Azaghâl sure proved that the dread Glaurung can bleed, and if anything can bleed, it can also be silenced for good, and the later Turin Turambar made sure of that. 11:17: Horrifying, to say the least. Curious what made the Ents become involved in this. 18:27: Did they have brick toys? Tolkien could have at least acknowledged the LEGO precursors once in his writings. 18:45: Kind of a wasted opportunity not making even at least one of the dwarves be one of Thorin's journeyfolk. Say, what became of the Blue Mountains in the purported Seventh Age a.k.a. our modern Earth?
When Thorin met Gandalf in Bree, was he traveling alone? The King of the Longbeards traveling alone! For only becoming King because his father was snatched during HIS travels, I hope Thorin was in Bree with a sizeable guard.
Sometimes I remember that all of Tolkien's dwarves were spawned from only 7 couples, and it makes me a bit uneasy 😅 Did Tolkien ever comment on that? In his works or in any of his letters?
They way you tell this makes it sound as though the Dwarves are clearly the initial instigators for the tension between themselves and the Elves. Am I hearing. this correctly?
@ , sounds like a bad rebranding scheme the elves got away with. Guess Tolkien never established the Middle Earth equivalent to copyright infringement or patent laws.
@HuginnHufflepuff In the movie? The truth is that Aragorn wielded Anduril, which, in fact, was an Elven blade, remade ftom a broken Dwarven blade. So that would have been lore-accurate
Thorin's Halls, Now We Need the Iron Hills
And the other mountain ranges too!
Very true
Any Orocarni vids? (aka Red Mountains)
So much mystery surrounding these little guys. I need more!!!!
Tolkien seems to have endless content
The depth of his world is crazy!
Endless farming!!!
It's 1 months to April, but wouldn't the Ring be safer with Barliman Butterbur and then completely forgot about it?
Endless content, and yet ROP still feels the need to make up their own terrible story 😭
@@isamerryfellowExactly they could have just used some of tolkien’s actual work

Check out CK3 : LotR Realms in Exile. They are a absolute blast to play!
Lord of the Rings Online is my fav game! And Ered Luin is actually my favorite region including the music and the mystery around the dwarves
I've always wondered about the blue mountains, and the lore about them. This was a great way to spend 21 minutes of my day 👍
This was by far the best 21 mins of my day. No contest.
I want more Middle-Earth geography!!
The more, the merrier.
This presentation gives me a new appreciation of the friendship between the elves and dwarves of the First Age before it went sour.
The lack of information we have on the dwarves only adds to the mystery of their kind
I really love this channel 👌
Yay! Matt with another lore vid 😭
Thank you for covering Dwarf history. I find the dwarf realms fascinating. Given the elf-centric nature of the Silmarilian we have a lot less about dwarves so I like to take in all the info I can. Is there more about the four clans in the mountains of Rhun?
And do all of them live in the mountains of Rhûn? That seems too close to each other and too convenient.
Loved every second of this nice explaination. Thank you
Good job!
I've always been interested about the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains. Didn't know it was the Valars that unintentionally made this mountain range upon pushing Middle-earth further away from Valinor.
I have no idea where he got that from.
Great stories! The part I liked was when the Ents got briefly involved.
You mean When they yeeted the dwarves? Lol
Yea that Sounds like Ents
😂😂😂
one of your better ones. Nice work
MY DWARVEN HEART! Thanks for covering this one! Thought when will content creators cover this, and here we are.
Blue mountains in my opinion are really underrated
Even so, the Misty mountains are still my favorite.
All the dwarves stuff are underrated
Who's rating mountains in the Legendarium?🤣😆😂
The next map right after you said they created the 4 mountain ranges didn't seem to show them anymore...
Oh wow! Great history of the dwarves- thank you!
Thank you for the amazing storytelling!
Tolkien was the best! I've been reading alot of fantasy lately (book two of the Wheel of Time currently), and his influence is EVERYWHERE. Makes me happy to see the wonderful places his legacy has gone.
I love your guys content, never stop making videos pls I’ve learned so much
Love these history videos NOTR❤
Thanks so much!
So glad to be back in Middle-earth! It lifts my spirits!
Thank you for sayin that. It really lifts mine as well. 👊
I am still disappointed there are no Purple Mountains in Middle Earth. There are blue, red, white, gray, and yellow mountains, so why not purple mountains?
Maybe they are in Rhún?
I think Mindolluin (behind Minas Tirith) could count as one. It is described as having a snow-capped peak and high glens which cast deep purple shadows in the morning light. 💜😊
@@uwesca6263 Those are the Orocarni, also known as the Red Mountains.
@@nathaliemelissa96 That's part of the Edred Nimrais, the White Mountains.
How about Green Mountains? 🤪
Beautiful storytelling, Nerd. Appreciate the content - Thanks!
Another AMAZING video! Thanks Matt! ☺️
14:44 at this time any idea what the population of Lindon is? They don't really seem to play a role in the War of the Ring, at least they didn't send any troops.
Great video. Well done.

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
😂👏👏👏
...on the trail of the lonesome pine....
Dwarf Road, Take me Home,
To the Place, I belong,
Dwarf Realm Belegost,
Dwarf Road, Take me Home...
Lovin your work brother
Great video! Can we get more stuff on the dwarves?
Easily one of my “new” all time favorite episodes!!
🤘😫🤘
Love anything dwarves, been a fan for awhile. Hoping iron hills will be next?
I had forgotten. Thank you
A really great video, made my Durin saturday:)
You’re the best man🤘🏻
Great timing. I’ve been playing Return to Moria so I quite literally googled these guys last night to learn more. Now I’ve woken to this video 😊
13:53 Interesting that Dwarves also dwelled in Dunland. Did not know that.
They probably lived in the mountains.
Always love the nerd-dom.
Excellent!
Another fun upload thanks 💍I love the Art to ❤
Good work bro❤❤❤❤
I live in the Blue Mountains, they're in Australia NSW and there's a town there called Lindon just like on the map. Beautiful place too.
I dont know if its done but i would really like to see Angband. Great videos btw.
I actually just recently did a video on Angband! 😁

Wish he wrote more about the 4 clans of the east.
There are four dragons out there, too. How convenient....
Love me some good dwarf lore!
Did we ever get a full review of "war of the rohirrim"
well that just leaves two things: the iron hills, and...
*deep inhale
BROTHERS OF THE MINE REJOICE.
Wonderful episode as usual Matt. 👍 I do have a question maybe someone can help me with as I'm not well read in the deeper lore. If Illuvitar is the only one who can bestow the spark of life, how was Melkor able to give life to the Dragons? Unlike the Dwarves pre Eru, they are capable of independent thoughts and action. Thanks 🇨🇦✌🖖
Matt definitely made a video about dragons that addresses your question. It was in regard to Glaurung and his ability to communicate.
@Enerdhil Ah, ok. I binged the channel a few year's ago and must have forgotten. I'll go back. Thanks so much 👍
I think Lord of the Rings Online does a great job at representing the Blue Mountains, Thorin's Hall and Ered Luin region in general
It was a nice one but what do i need to have a list of requested videos done?
Could you do a video tracking the importance of the anduin or other rivers? 🙏🙌
Azaghâl sure proved that the dread Glaurung can bleed, and if anything can bleed, it can also be silenced for good, and the later Turin Turambar made sure of that.
11:17: Horrifying, to say the least. Curious what made the Ents become involved in this.
18:27: Did they have brick toys? Tolkien could have at least acknowledged the LEGO precursors once in his writings.
18:45: Kind of a wasted opportunity not making even at least one of the dwarves be one of Thorin's journeyfolk.
Say, what became of the Blue Mountains in the purported Seventh Age a.k.a. our modern Earth?
Where can i get that map ?? It looks so amazing and detailed
1:18 That map places Belegost all the way to the south...
Is there a whole book out there solely dedicated to dwarf lore? I'd read that from cover to cover!
It is 4 1/2 pages long.😂
@Enerdhil Ah man. But there's so much history and lore!
@turboking9238
Yes. Do a video on Rhûn, the Lake and area surrounding it. Especially the story of Boromir's horn.😁👍
The Valar inventing plate tectonics
When Thorin met Gandalf in Bree, was he traveling alone? The King of the Longbeards traveling alone! For only becoming King because his father was snatched during HIS travels, I hope Thorin was in Bree with a sizeable guard.
I would love to see some First Age Dwarves in a Silmarillion series.🙂
Makes me want to reinstall and play Dwarf Fortress
Sometimes I remember that all of Tolkien's dwarves were spawned from only 7 couples, and it makes me a bit uneasy 😅 Did Tolkien ever comment on that? In his works or in any of his letters?
Ahhh my favorite of the dwarf realms. REMEMBER BELEGOST
I always found interesting the dwarves would seemingly leave some mountains and settle others. Why not setting multiple.
They way you tell this makes it sound as though the Dwarves are clearly the initial instigators for the tension between themselves and the Elves. Am I hearing. this correctly?
What about NIM? After all it was he that clad Turin Turambur in dragon fire resistant armor!
We NEED a vid abt the RED MOUNTAINS
That would be a 4-5 sentence video.🤣
True xddd
when did the dwarve fathers ever awake with spouses? is it a new rendition or interpretation?
It is never said directly, but it makes sense. How else would the 7 Fathers of the Dwarves have reproduced to form kingdoms.
No spouses, no new dwarves.
@ I thought they just popped out of the ground
Thumbnail castle is a different dwarf hold from witn
What if the Blue Mountains got the One Ring?
🤠👍👍👍
I’m confused; why is Narsil called an elvish blade if it was forged by a dwarf?
In the book it mentions elven
Sheath but that the blade was made by telchar.
@ , sounds like a bad rebranding scheme the elves got away with. Guess Tolkien never established the Middle Earth equivalent to copyright infringement or patent laws.
Anduril was absolutely an Elven blade because the Elves reforged Narsil, but Narsil itsrlf was not. Who calls it an "elvish blade?"
@@Enerdhil , I just remember the Mouth calling it a broken elvish blade before Aragorn kills him.
@HuginnHufflepuff
In the movie? The truth is that Aragorn wielded Anduril, which, in fact, was an Elven blade, remade ftom a broken Dwarven blade. So that would have been lore-accurate
So the dwarves were originally Androids that came to life....
Respectfully, it's re-kwi-ted (long i) as in quite... requited, not quit. Great video!!!!
Dwarves the unofficial firstborn Pinocchios who actually became real people but with little lore about them what with their introverted culture.
Die Blue Mountains 😅Valley of darkness to middle earth wow.
I would find your narration so wonderful if you did the bible
😮😮 🏔
Still Misty Mountain is the best
The home of Durin's Bane.
I feel like you should just direct the movies and shows since you keep the stories so interesting and then they could actually stay true to the books
The Petty Dwarves were definitely exiles of Nogrod or Belegost. They deserved at least a mention.😠
I wish somebody did the Bible like this I swear the battles in the Old Testament were epic and dope even angels of God intervened 😅

Second

No one cares bruv
How is it in Canada?
