    Between playing Deep Rock Galactic and rereading The Hobbit, I have been kinna obsessed with Dwarves here recently. 😅
    I was already planning on going to my local games store this afternoon to see if I can find some dwarf minis to paint.

      @thearthritisgamer946 the kinna thing I'm looking for is something similar to the Dwarf Soldiers in The Battle of the Five Armies movie. I wasn't a big fan of the movie, but I loved those Dwarf designs.

      Tbh dwarves are my favorite fantasy race, even more than the elves. My father was a blacksmith and a craftsman, while i am not a blacksmith myself i do know a thing or 2 about crafting. I like most attributes of the dwarves, i like their strength, power, physicality, unrelenting nature and loyalty. I also happen to like the dwemer from skyrim thou they at best are only dwarf in spirit and mentality but still Mer (elf) if i were to pick a fantasy race i were to be a dwarf as i like their hobbies, out looks in life. they are good craftsmen and can forge anything. Thou personally i would not like to look like them and be at their height lol.

    The Dwarves will expend any amount of blood, treasure, or lives to ensure even in defeat that the enemy knows forever more. The Dwarves will never give in, and they will never give up.

    Far over the misty mountains cold
    To dungeons deep and caverns old
    We must away, ere break of day
    To seek our pale enchanted gold
    The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
    While hammers fell like ringing bells
    In places deep, where dark things sleep
    In hollow halls beneath the fells
    For ancient king and elvish lord
    There many a gleaming golden hoard
    They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
    To hide in gems on hilt of sword
    On silver necklaces they strung
    The flowering stars on crowns they hung
    The dragon-fire in twisted wire
    They meshed the light of moon and sun
    Far over the misty mountains cold
    To dungeons deep and caverns old
    We must away, ere break of day
    To claim our long-forgotten gold
    Goblets they carved there for themselves
    And harps of gold, where no man delves
    There lay they long, and many a song
    Was sung unheard by men or elves
    The pines were roaring on the heights
    The winds was moaning in the night
    The fire was red, it flaming spread
    The trees like torches blazed with light
    The bells were ringing in the dale
    And men looked up with faces pale
    The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
    Laid low their towers and houses frail
    The mountain smoked beneath the moon
    The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom
    They fled their hall to dying fall
    Beneath his feet, beneath the moon
    Far over the misty mountains grim
    To dungeons deep and caverns dim
    We must away, ere break of day
    To win our harps and gold from him
    Far over the misty mountains cold
    To dungeons deep and caverns old

    Just started the video, but wanted to say that the Dwarves are the most under utilized army in LoTR. Especially in the 2nd Age. They should have been at their peak and had Mithril by now. I loved how they depicted them in The Hobbit. So picture that times a 1000 and that's what Khazad-Dum should been like. But theybkinda helped Celembrimbor, then holed up in the mountain and didn't do shit while Sauron took over all of Middle-Earth before the Numenoreansbhad to kick his ass for the first time.

    It's interesting to me that in addition to Tolkien's Norse influence for the Dwarves, there was also the Jewish people. (Wandering, self-isolating, resilient and obsessed with accumulating wealth.) He wrote that his presentation of Dwarves in The Hobbit expressed negative Jewish stereotypes, so, he wrote the Dwarves differently in LOTR to correct his error; yet, keeping their Norse essence. JRR was a good man. And to W&W, good drop. I've watched a few times now.

    If there is one idea that rings of power did right on thinking about, it’s including the dwarves into the second age story. The execution of it is questionable, but the concept of showcasing them more is sweet. I wish Tolkien went more in depth into the different Durins and how they played roles during the second age, including their contributions to the Northmen alliance, Eregion and the other elf realms, numenor and the Dunedain, and what role they played in the war of the last alliance. I’m not saying everything about the dwarves Needed to be know, as they were a secretive race. Durin the third is secretly very important for his alliance with Celebrimbor and the fact he received the most notable dwarves ring. I’ve found it a cool theory that Durin the fourth fought alongside Gil-Galad and Elendil, wilding their respective axe, sword and spear, commanding the Free People’s effected by the different rings of power. Heck, maybe Durin the fourth also fought with Sauron in that duel on mount doom, dying alongside the two other high rulers of the west. The Last Alliance of Elves, Men and Dwarves should have been its name. Wizards and Warrioris, if you ever cover the war of the last alliance, I would love you to have these thoughts in mind. Also I believe ents and eagle played a role in the Last Alliance too.
