Azaghal Broadbeam is one of my favorite characters in the entire Legendarium. The dwarves might actually be my favorite race because of the scene when Glaurung slays Azaghal, and his warriors bear him out of the battle on their shields, singing a low death-dirge so intimidating that no enemies would dare attack them as they bore their fallen king away from the battle.
I'd say Gimli because when he went to Valinor with Legolas, he may have met Aule. What a meeting that must have been!
I'd be pretty certain that he did.
And considering the belief of the dwarves that they will assist Aule in rebuilding the world, yeah that must have been an INSANE moment for Gimli.

Dwarves are some of the most heroic & fiercest warriors.
True, but I never understood why the entire Moria Dwarven guard were slaughtered by one Balrog, when single Elf warriors and Men were successful against Balrogs...strange...
@@harrykadaras9459 dwarves already have the best weapons,armour, tactics,and weaponry ,it would be foolish to have them any more well rounded ,what would even be the point of battle if they were any better? They have to have some kind of weakness as warriors and there's is really only dragons or Balrog..and I don't remember to many Elves or men killing Balrogs I know a few wizards have......
@Hailey N I'm not sure what you're meaning. Have you read the books by chance? According to Tolkien's LOTR series and the Silmarillion, the only 'Wizard' to have killed a Balrog was Gandalf (and he died as well). From the Silmarillion, there were several Balrogs killed by individual Elves and men in the 'Fall of Gondolin' chapter (Glorfindel, Ecthelion, and Tuor, who was a man all had victories against single or multiple Balrogs). So my point was that I thought it strange that the Dwarves had not accomplished that, either in single hand combat or Durin's entire Moria host, that fought the awoken Balrog had no chance. Yes, Dwarves are known to have excellent armor and weapons (including Mithril), plus their natural resistance to fire, and from those advantages, plus their great numbers in Moria, you'd think that they would have killed the "Durin's Bane" Balrog, even if he awoke and took them by surprise.
@@harrykadaras9459 Balrogs were not as strong at first, Tolkien powered them up later.
Also, some Elven Lords or Men from the first age were stupidly strong.
The power scaling is not that accurate in all Tolkien works, Durin's Bane would be probably much stronger than any Balrogs slain before.
@@harrykadaras9459@harrykadaras9459 tolkien writing many times uses battle measured as some kind of courage or authority. like , the evil demons cant easily kill the old elven lords cause they were talking with the gods etc. Dwarves initially were great craftsmen, They could ignore or hardship, but not exactly fearless when facing a demon.
Tolkien had a principle : the older one is, the more powerful one is. That is borne out by Azagal being the only dwarf who could seriously wound a dragon by himself.
As a kid I never liked dwarves so much, but when I've read about Azaghal, about their aid to Elrond in the 2nd age snd about batlle of Dale they became one of the most badass and bravest of all peoples in Middlearth.
As always another great video from this great channel cant wait for the live stream!!!!
In my opinnion Azaghal is Greatest Dwarf that ever lived...2nd and everyone's favorite is Gimli.....on the 3rd place are Dain Ironfoot andThorin Oakenshield....the rest of the dwarves-they all share 4th place😁
*Face us on the battlefield*
*You will meet your doom*
*We do not fear what lies beneath*
*We can never dig too deep*
Durin's Bane: Challenge Accepted!
the clear answer is Dáin II Ironfoot, lord of the Iron Hills, king of Erebor, leader of Durin's Folk, slayer of Azog and lord of the Deep
Totally agree! Dain Ironfoot is awesome!
I thought Thorne killed Azog.
@@robinchurch3595 that's only the movie adaptation lol.. since the books is the source material Dain's the one that killed Azog.
@@robinchurch3595 in the books Dáin beheads Azog at the steps of Moria
Yup,he killed azog easily
Telchar!⚒
Nothing stands taller than the might of the Dwarves
“Let’s get building” or “built with dwarven skill”
@@Alex9971000 lmao
@@Alex9971000 BFME 2 😂
Dwarves were actually one of the stronger armies that can match the armies of mordor due to them haviny war machines too
@@gregloenz It's not canon,the war machines.
1. Durin
2. Dain
3. Gimli
4. Thorin
5. Balin
6. Azaghal
7. Telchar
8. Dwalin
Thats my list keep up the good work
You have 3 dwarves from the lonely mountain company?
2 3 4 5 are weaker then 6
Awesome video!!! Gimli was a true empathic heroe, and that is no small feat for a dwarf. And yes, we guys would like to request a full video on Dain! :)
Yes. He might have been the only empathetic dwarf full stop.
A video on Dain Iron foot? Absolutely! A must.
I'm interested in seeing a full video about Dain Ironfoot. I didn't know he died in battle.
I would love a video about Dain Ironfoot. My favorite dwarf is definitely Gimli. Although there are so many cool dwarves in the Tolkien lore. Gimli will always be special. I always loved the friendship between him and Legolas.
Always love me some more dwarf lore.
The Return of the King video game, Gimli was 1 of my favorite characters to play as. He was such a bad ass with his Axe.
Really enjoy your viewpoint. This is such a very complicated and fulfilling subjects.
Dwarves are my favorite. I wish there were better depictions and stories centered around them.
Agree. Tolkien built the dwarves up to be amazing hewers of caves and craftsmen of war gear, unwaivering fighters, and the best ally to have in times of war. We only see the potential for a friendly and open-minded dwarf in Gimli. The rest of them mostly seem to be boring and xenophobic.
Great video, guys!
Legolas and Gimli. I love the Ending but I like to belive that Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo, Samwise, Legolas and Gimli just lived on forever together in Happiness, remembering the Heroism of The Fellowship, drinking and smoking in Valinor
I would love seeing a full video of Dain.
Fun Theory here, on Durin´s Axe: In the fellowship (movie), Gimli doesn´t start with his twobladed axe! the rest of the movies, he carries it on his back, but not at the beginning! The first time, he uses it, is after the troll destroys Balins tomb. Maybe this is durins axe, and gimli found it in the coffin!!!
A good what if video would be if erebor was never taken back. How would it affect all future battles and surrounding lands? From mirkwood to Dale to the war of the ring.
Didn't Gandalf already address that question?
Love these videos so much, my favorite tale is the battle of Sauron and finrod, keep up the amazing work.
9:14 One thing! I don't think Feanor was at the Battle of Unumbered Tears. He died just after he arrived in Beleriand from Valinor in a duel with Gothmog. Apart from that, fantastic video!
I thought of the same thing when mentioned.
I would love a video on Dain Ironfoot! I've always found him to be a fascinating character.
I'd love a series of The War of the Dwarves and Orcs.
The gift of Galadrial's 3 hairs to Gimli was VERY significant, because the "great" Faenor sought and begs her for a single strand of hair. He said he could have created something great and marvelous with it. She always said no because his heart wasn't pure. I think it was because her hair had the light of the trees in it or so he thought. Something to do along those lines, so for her to go e a mere dwarf what she denied Faenor is a big deal.
Great video! 😊👌🏻
Would love a Dain video! Keep up the good work.
I would like to see a video on Dain Ironfoot.
Solid list... except you'd think a list of Dwarves would give a little more love to the smiths! Maybe not Narvi, but give my man Telchar some love!
52k subs already! Niiice
😁😁😁
Please do a list about the 7 dwarven rings of power
Always love me some Dwarf content!
Ok lol
Till durin wakes again from sleep.
At 7:56 the subtitles are in romanian:)) what a coincidence, I'm from Romania and seeing it just got me triggered and had to point it out :)) Letting this aside, great video guys, wish you all the best, cheers !
Yes full video on Dain 😊
I really enjoy these tells because I have always loved this style of telling about the Lord of the rings and the hobbits
loved the vid Jake as the dwarves of middle - earth are favourite race looking forward to the next one and yeah that would be awesome Jake to do a vid on Dain Ironfoot he's my favourite dwarf in Tolkiens Works
Yes a video about dain
Balin is my favorite dwarf, if I ever were to play in a pen & paper rp campaign set in Middle-Earth I would ask if I could keep Balin from leaving Erebor when he did, stall his departure, and/or prevent his murder.
It actually would be cool if Thorin's death could be prevented, as he probably wouldn't have children anyway, Dain II. would still eventually become king and thus history wouldn't be changed too much.
If Thorin were still alive when Balin sets out on his quest to retake Moria it could lead to a very different conclusion and even change the course of events during the Ring War.
Do a video on the line of kings!
What-if video idea for you to do:
What if Gandalf never fell at the Bridge of Khazad-dum and continued with the fellowship to Lothlorien and forward?
What of the great dwarven smith Telchar??? Creator of Aundruil, the Dragon Helm, and the Nauglamir.
Love the Dwarves! Thorin is my favorite!
Not Legendary for his skill in battle, but Telchar of TumunZahar / Nogrod should be in this list too: the legendary Smith forged Narsil, Angrist and the Dragon helm!
8:47 - _"...still Morpheus, than most."_
I did not know that!
I WANT A VIDEO OF DAIN IRONFOOT
I would like a video on Dain
Dain deserves a video of his own.
Love the Dwarves !
That had to be so awesome for gimli. All the most legendary dwarves and he's the only one to see valinor and meet Aule their creator.
IRONFOOT IS HEREEEEE!!
Please do the complete history of Morgoth.
yo! I've been doing some research on Azigal myself! I remember about 1-3 years ago i saw a video where they talked about azigals battle with Glaurung. In the end of the video the dwarfes carry their lord and sing some sort of song/Eulogy but i can't find the video! Does any1 know what i'm talking about?
Full dane video would be cool
I’d like to watch a video on Dain Ironfoot
If we go back to the older meaning of "great" as only referring to size and not quality, then Bombur is the Greatest Dwarf of All Time.
Please do a video on Dane
Video about Dain, yes yes yess..
pls do a video about dain hes by far the best dwarf to ever exist
Balin looks lot alike Gwildor from He-Man and Masters ! 😉😁
What about Telchar of Nogrod? He may not have won renown as a warrior but as a smith he forget weapons such as Narsil, later Anduril, and many others.
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned Telchar. Like you said not a renowned warrior, but massively influential to the dwarf culture and to the world with the weapons he created
@@petehaines Never did learn whether Anduril glowed blue when Orcs lurked nearby. Is that only elvish swords?
@@santyclause8034 To my knowledge and all that I have read, only elvish swords would glow blue in the presence of orcs. And it was never mentioned that Narsil/Anduril had a glow. My theory is though reforged by the elves, it was the elves of the third age, possibly some of the "magic" of the elves smithies could have been forgotten over the ages. Second and most likely the sword was crafted Telchar, a dwarf.
Im gonna go for Durin here, just because he's so iconic
Full video on Dain please
I know the hobbit is nothing like the books but I loved that movie so much, when thorin, Fili, and Kili die it hit me so hard lol.
Yes one vote for an iron foot video. If not already created
i would add Thror to the list. he made Erebor a strong and very wealthy kingdom of the dwarves the most powerfull after khazad dum
I have a question that’s been bugging me. How old was Bard during the battle of Five Armies, and how old was he when he died during the Battle of Dale? Was he of noble blood and gifted with long life?
To the first question: I don't think we know. Bard's date of birth is not given anywhere as far as I can remember. What is certain ist that he reigned for 33 years until his death. Now if you assumed that he died of old age somewhere around being 70 or 80 years old, that puts him around his 40s when slaying Smaug, give or take a few years.
To the second question: The king of dale who fought and died side by side with king Dain II in the Battle of Dale was actually Bard's grandson Brand, as Bard has already been dead for more than 40 years at that time and his title as King of Dale passed down his line.
Actually Bard died in 2977. His grandson Brand fought and died in the Battle of Five Armies. We have no idea of knowing how old he was when he died.
Full vodeo of Dain Ironfoot please.
Your mum is vodeo
Full video on Dain!!!!!!
Thorin fought and won against Dragon Sickness and ancestral proclivity for greed. He's the strongest, period. His Valor and resilience is legendary.
One ring to rule the race of dwarfs
4:47... the axe is so crooked that id bet its possesed by sauron
Dain is by far my favourite dwarf
The life of Dane I would love to see it
VIDEO ON IRONFOOT!
Since Tolkiens world honestly never REALLY lends itself well to measure power levels based on combat skills, (See f.i. King Eanür vs. Meriadoc Brandybuck who both fought the witch king but despite Merry "winning" would we really consider him more powerful than a high Dunedain king? Even if you picked Eowyn instead point still holds) this is a great idea of how to make such a video. Good job.
I cant really put out an complete ordered list because as you say, its nearly impossibly, but I WILL make a top 5:
Durin I: For quite obvious reasons.
Azaghal: Not just for wounding Glaurung but because in doing so he basically saved the retreating elvish and edain armies. Had this not happened they might have perished in fire and the war of the jewels would have ended before Beren and Luthien could even meet and all that brought with it. (Which is basically the entire world as we know it)
Dain Ironfoot: For saving Eriador in the battle of Dale and for his killing of Azog.
Unnamed dwarf chief of Nogrod: Leading the sacking of Menegroth eventually leading to the Nauglamir getting to Luthien and thus to Dior and Elwing.
Thrain 2: For leading the war between dwarfs and Goblins lessening the threat of the orcs in the north and allowing the northern free people to not be completely divided in the years before the quest of Erebor, maybe even allowing the quest to be POSSIBLE in the first place.
Beyond that yes. Gimli, Thorin, Balin etc etc but I cant possibly order them.
Great video guys. Really enjoyed it.
Imagine a movie called the battle of the lonely Mountain. Dain ironfoot as the maincaracter.
Could we get and elf and orc version of this style of vid too
Already have an Elf and Evil Beings version 👍
The Broken Sword Oh shit yeah my bad, just getting giddy over some good lore I suppose 😂
Yes. Dane 🤙🏼👍🏼
B’hrian Bloodaxe, hero of Koom Valley!
Azaghâl "covered the retreat of Fëanor and his sons" (at about 9:14-9:16).
Um, Fëanor dies in Year of the Trees 1497 or about 500 years (if one YT = 9.5 solar years, or about 900 years if one YT = 144 solar years) before the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
I love the dwarves, they are my favourite species
Full video on dain yes please
next video Dain Ironfoot
Doin!
"Keep themselves to themselves"
Azaghal is hands down the best Dwarf lord. No contest!!
At around 6:30, "For without him (Thorin II), Erebor 'might' not have belonged to the Dwarves during the War of the Ring, potentially making the Battle of Dale a very different battle."
I disagree with the use of "might?" Who else could have sanctioned the quest besides Thorin II? "might" should be WOULD.
One more observation: if Smaug is still in Erebor during the War of the Ring, Dale is still a ghost town; in other words, there is NO Battle of Dale.
Gimli is My Favorite. Only Dwarf who partnered up with a Human and an Elf. They became the Monster Trio.
Should do a video on the races populations!
That is a great idea, but can we know for sure? I have never noticed reading any population figures.
@@Enerdhil just a closer estimate would be cool because the figures are over the place. Just to have a more accurate view would be nice
@@nickcobb5082
Maybe The Nature of Middle Earth has the math formula for calculating birth rates for each race. I always thought Rivendell just had less than a couple hundred Elves, but actually I have no idea.
Clan Duergar has explored deeper & further than any other ancestry. Deities & their children each accompanying such treks.
Will you? ⚜️
They say there are Elves of such power and skill that even some of the Valar themselves are afraid to face them in battle. But only the Dwarves have joined a battle raging hot and fully joined. Lost a lord and were allowed to leave unmolested such was the state of their wrath. Lol that says something.
Feanor: come on, just one, it’s gonna be great!
Galadriel: nah
Gimli: uh excuse me Ma lady uh lady of white uh galadyofwhite, I ask for only one strand of hair, to make into a crystal set in a sigil of my house to be passed on for generations.
Galadriel: :] You get three!
Azaghal has the greatest feat. Then Dain Ironfoot. I suppose Gimli has the feats of killing 42 uruk hai in a single battle and resisting the Ring and Saruman's voice. But seeing how Dwarven achievements in battle are relatively unexplored rating the strongest Dwarves is tough.
The dwarves was nigh immune to the Ring of Power's seduction, not being created by Illuvatar but by Aule (an moment of innocent fancy but he did get some flak for it) their ring wielders never fell under Sauron's power like the Nine (the race of mortal men, doomn'd ta die) when gifted seven Rings (I think seven). Only other race with a similar resistance to Sauron's influence were the Hobbits, probably another Aule creation but by now his lips is totally shut (seen what trouble he would be in) and so the Hobbits are a curiosity. Hobbits got no rings at all, Sauron didn't even know the race existed, neither did the Ents get any ..no idea why. Maybe they were too slow or they had no use for craft.
Gimli #1
What about Dwalin?
We want full video of Dane
