| | Dwarves (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The dwarfs in the earth, as Durin said. | | | 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. | | | Fundin was killed beneath the East Gate of Khazad-dum in the climatic Battle of Azanulbizar during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. |

| | Similar too are the works of dwarves who are themselves “blessed” creatures of a sort. | | | Dwarves and even orcs may also consider many of their craft works similarly “magical”. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Ilúvatar forgave Aulë for his presumptuous imitation, seeing his sincerity and true desire, and He gave the Dwarves spirits of their own and blessed them. | | | Now, while less great than the Great Dwarves, the Petty-dwarves are still very proud and possess their own dignity. |

| | There in the darkness the Dwarves delved too deep and awoke the Balrog that had lain hidden there since the fall of Morgoth at the end of the First Age. | | | The colony lasted only five years before the Dwarves were overcome by Orcs and other evil creatures. | | | Thror's grandson Thorin Oakenshield returned to the Lonely Mountain in 2941 with twelve other Dwarves and a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. |

| | 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 Khuzdul word Khazâd, "Dwarves", was adapted to Quenya as Casar "Dwarf" and to Sindarin as Hadhod (the Dwarvish race being called Hadhodrim, WJ:388). | | | Conversely, the Dwarves seem to have borrowed at least one word from Sindarin: kibil "silver" must be related to Grey-elven celeb. |

| | Them Dwarves, Them Dwarves! |
| | At first Tolkien tried to explain away the names as an "editorial concession": "These dwarves are not quite the dwarfs of better known lore. | | | 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... |

| | Flags of Middle Earth |
| | Many years ago, I read and became quite fond of the stories by J. Tolkien of a place called Middle Earth. | | | In 1978, I concieved of an idea of producing a Middle Earth Flag Chart. | | | His works, The Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the other ancillary books about elves, dwarves and especially hobbits, are filled with the languages, customs, lore, and especially the emblems of this mythological realm. |

| | 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. | | | But the dwarves and Bilbo weren't much concerned with that; their own predicament was more than enough to think about. | | | Invisible, Bilbo made his way out of the mountains and astounded the dwarves by appearing again in their midst. |

| | 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. | | | Thrain was tormented and the Last of the Seven Rings of the Dwarves was taken from him by Sauron. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Nearly all have pauses, caesurae, near the middle of each line, even when they are fairly metrical otherwise. |
