"And they call it a mine... A Mine!" 😂

[chuchulainn]

The world was young the mountains green.
No stain yet on the moon was seen.
No words were laid on stream or stone,
When Durin woke and walked alone.

Never realized how much warhammer fantasy took after Tolkeins work with the naming of their cities and the use of Long Beards

I absolutely love this type of content, I could get lost in it happily for hours. Keep up the good work man it’s truly truly incredible.

It is crazy to think that before the Silmarils, before the founding of Doriath and Gondolin, while conflict raged in the west between elves and Morgoth...there was Kazad'dum flourishing far in the east.

[Keaggan]

Another reason why Dwarves don't like elves. They had to sleep even though they were first.

[Wanderer_Rogue]

So you're telling me that Durin was a morning person?

[Rock-Child]

Middle Earth is itself a mythology, it reflects many old myths and legends

[DezDies]

This makes me want to immediately go play a strategy game as dwarves.

[SamBourgeois]

Lombards (aka Longobardi, "long beards") Alpine Germanic people that conquered Italy after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

[Enerdhil]

You could have mentioned something about the reincarnation of Durin through history, Durin I, ll, lll, lV, etc

[Karmasu_L]

🎼 No words were layed on stream or stone, 🎵
🎼 when Durin woke and walked alone. 🎵

[TheZapan]

Best rendition of Song of Durin is found on Clamavi de Profundis channel.

[henrikloeffler]

Also durin kinda came back through reincarnation like 6 or 7 times

[timberwolfdan]

The Iron Hills dwarves were also longbeards.

[ZENIGMATV]

Don’t we wish Tolkien’s beautiful world was real?

[rouninpanda]

Why did the Dwarven Fathers have to wait for the stupid elves?

[dylansearcy]

Ain't nobody waking up till the elves wake up first

Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority? For thy hast for me as a gift thy own being only, and no more; and therefore the creatures of thy hand and mind can live only by that being, moving when thou thinkest to mood them, and if thy thought be elsewhere, standing idle. Is that thy desire?

I did not desire such lordship. I desired things other than I am, to love and to teach them, so that they too might perceive the beauty of Eä, which thou hast caused to be. For It seemed to me that there is great room in Arda for many things that might rejoice in it, yet it is for the most part empty still, and dumb. And in my impatience I have fallen into folly. Yet the making of things is in my heart from my own making by thee; and the child of little understanding that makes play with the deeds of his father may do so without thought of mockery, but because he is the son of his father. But what should I do now so that thou be not angry with me forever. As a child to his father, I offer to thee these things, the work of the hands which thou hast made. Do with them what thou wilt. But should I not rather destroy the work of my presumption?

Then Aulë tuck up the great hammer to smite the dwarves; and he wept. 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. And the voice of Ilúvatar said to Aulë: " thy offer I accepted even as it was made. Dost thou not see that these things have now in life of their own and speak of their own voices else they would have not flinched from thy blow, nor from any command of thy will

I love all of the direct references that Tolkien constantly made to actual European history. Longobards… long beards
