Bard is one of those characters that comes and goes but is an important character at just the right time. I'd like to hear more about Bard and his family. Live in Erebor or Dale, tough one. I think Dale but with access to Erebor. Both are a wonder.

You'd have to plant Meadows of snowbell flower, that's white flower black root. And baby's breath, is the other seedling you saturate the Meadows with. The easiest way to do it is you a map The thermals of your stratospheres, then you build a gyrocopter you welded together with your 2-in copper pipes and a two-stroke dirt bike engine and then you pull up a 16 kilo bag 16 ft above the proper thermal that you want to drift through and just slowly release the pressure of the seating and you saturate the whole valley at the right point on the right day. About 45 minutes from beginning to end and you seed the whole valley.

According to the elves they returned to the earth and rock they were created from. The dwarves believe that they return to their creator, Mahal, and will be kept safe by him until the time of the Dagor Dagorlath, the final war against Morgoth that breaks the universe. After that they will help the Valar rebuild the world. I prefer the dwarven belief, personally.

If I'm not mistaken and it's possible, they stood in the halls of the Mandos to never leave.

I've gradually formed a theory about how the races of elves, dwarfs and hobbits "faded." Rather than becoming extinct, they gradually interbred with humans. Aragon and Arwen's union is one example: their children were elven and human. I'd find it hard to believe that they were the only example of an elf and a human marrying. I don't think unions between dwarfs and humans is unlikely, and hobbits were the most humanlike of the other races. I always remember how Merry and Pippin became exceptionally large for hobbits after drinking entwash; who's to say they or their descendants didn't marry human women?

In ancient Egypt (primarily during the Old Kingdom era), dwarfs were often known for their skills as master-jewellers and highly sought after. Not only that, but their jewellery was believed to possess magical qualities. Coincidence? Somehow, I find it highly unlikely. Does anyone know where Tolkien found inspiration when he created dwarves? I would hazard a guess and suggest this is precisely where he found his inspiration.

@slinky6481 2 жыл бұрын

That sounds exactly like the dwarves from Norse mythology, where he got most of his dwarf inspiration. They made, for example, Freya's magical necklace, Brísingamen.

@bullzdawguk 2 жыл бұрын

@@slinky6481 Thanks for replying. Interesting. What I find particularly interesting is how dwarves are looked upon in the same way in a totally unrelated culture. Not only that, but the Norse are later in history, which suggests they did not influence each other somehow. Funny, I never considered the Norse myths. That said, it seems fitting that he got his inspiration from the Norse, since they have more of a Middle Earth vibe, in comparison to the ancient Egyptians.
