@@johnnyunderhillproductions8346 i most say that i feel an need to hear it again. And its all your fult so thank you very much, becuse one can never hear too many of those good songs!
"Because, Master Baggins, you should never underestimate Dwarves" I dont know why the history of the dwarves fascinates readers so much. They came before the elves but awoke after, they are niether elf nor man; they are obstinate, stubborn, and loyal to a fault. They are truly unique. One thing is certain, if u have a dwarf in your company consider yourself lucky and never with a dull moment ^_^
I loved the dwarves loyalty and courage , meat eating, drinking and smoking, making the finest metal works and there mountain architecture and giant forges I bet if smaug didn't attack erabor they could of invented the steam engine and start a industrial revolution going and with all the gold to support a very powerful trade economy building railroad s to dale, to shire, Gondor, Rohan etc getting goods and people around middle earth connecting them or at least have horse drawn wagon size railcars to use lol
I liked your comment to say the least. That's a good question. I like gimli. But I like most the company in The fellowship of the Ring. I felt sorry for Boramir because I don't think he stood a chance at least not a fair one. I have often wondered how I would do in the same position as him. I don't really seek power I seek friendship. To me that is power and the best kind
Durin the Deathless, such a familiar name. To me though one I cherish all the more is Yoystan the cause of the breathless. You are such a marvel to us all
Good video, i must say that i did learn something from this video. My knowing of all things LOTR has sadly been fading from when i could say i knew a lot more then most to where my memory is foggy and unsure of the most inportant lore.
Hey just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work. I love Tolkien and his works. I watch every video. Just would like you to know we appreciate it. Your channel is the reason I read the Silmarillon.
Durin the Deathless left a legacy and line, that endured beyond ages. Even as a shadow of it's former Moria was great indeed. Azaghâl the Lord of Belegost and Telchar the Smith among other children of Aule did great things that endured long with effects farreaching. Still it is the first who stands above all Else in memory of those who came after. Durin was one and perhaps the best example, why you should not look down on the deeds of those smaller then you. For the Naugrim where small in stature yet great in deeds. Thank you for this reminder. :)
I wish there was more about the dwarves to learn, culturally and their everyday lives. Truly the children of Aule are a reclusive and even mysterious folk!
Greatly appreciated and enjoyed this video I was wondering if you have done a video (or thought of doing) of the 2 Blue mountain cities of the dwarves Nogrod & Belegost? 🤩🤘
That was awesome I haven't been around here long but I love your story skills I love the Dwarfs and I love Gimli Lord of the Shiney Caves,Dain Ironfoot, and Thorin Oakenshield and I can't wait to learn more about this amazing world can't wait for the next video
I don't know if I have mentioned this, but in the line of Durin illustration in the appendices, the line from Thorin III to Durin VII is dotted, meaning that there may be unknown generations between Thorin III and Durin VII
I thought that Durin the first was the one that was killed by the Balrog. I didn't knew that there were more after him . Thank you so much for this information .
History: There were 8 Henry's in England... Tolkien: Allow me to introduce the Durins: Durin, Durin, Durin, Durin, Durin, Durin, and Durin!!! It's shocking how little is known about most Durins...I only know 2 well!!! Thanks, Mellon for the 7 Durins...Until your Video soon for Hobbit Day, Marion Baggins Out!!!
Speak ‘friend’ and enter! How our world has changed as well. Happy Hobbit day! Let’s all meet under the party tree for fun and fireworks. I wish. Take care and be safe.
At the 2:27 minute you mentioned a poem in old Norse language that inspired Tolkien in making durin and dwarves tales can you give me its name please(I didn't hear its name clearly (I hear it as valasba or some thing like that):) thanks in advance
2:25 - Ooouf. Actually flinched at the pronounciation of Vǫluspá there. 😅 Incidentally, another dwarf mentioned in Vǫluspá is Gandalf, whose name literally means wand-elf, so it's a tad amusing that his namesake in Tolkien's world is neither dwarf nor elf.
I'm always looking forward to Sunday nights when you post a video! My question is there were the original seven Dwarves created by Aule and hidden away for later, but if I remember correctly none of them were female? They were all the fathers of the seven Dwarf houses mentioned later in the Legendarium. Do you think that Aule or Iluvatar created more Dwarves (more specifically female Dwarves) later on so they could multiply, or am I not remembering correctly about the seven being explicitly listed as male?
Thanks so much for this explanation. The line of Durin has always confused me so much now it makes sense to me .Have you ever done a video on the Great Plague and what it may have been ? If it was similar to the Bubonic Plague or more like Smallpox in nature .I have always thought it sounded more like Anthrax in nature due to the animals dying alongside the humans also if I am correct .Anthrax would have a devastating effect on both being a zoonotic .That is just a guess on my part living on a farm something we have to vaccinate against with our horses and other farm animals .Predators though carriers are very seldom affected too badly and Tolkien does state the wolves came also during this time .This is just a guess on my part probably a bad one but what it sounded like to me .They could have feasted on both the farm animals ,deer and other prey animals with very little effect on them .It's my theory probably wrong .
What are your thoughts on two Durins alive at the same time in the ROP show? It concerns me a bit since it doesnt line up with the incarnation mythos, but maybe they will have a good explanation?
I love these videos, thank you so much. The issue that I have always had with Tolkien is that he never talks about female dwarves. How did they come to be in vast numbers???? So strange, but again thanks again these videos are informative and extremely helpful.
There is one female dwarf named in the entire history of Middle-earth. I'm Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings you may find Dís, mother of Fili and Kili.
You ever think that the rings "dimmed" the dwarves and they only grew hale again after their loss. And this effect gave the dwarves the right of passage into valinor as it did the elves and hobbits? And the dwarves built stone ships of a design taught to them by the bond between gimli and Legolas. And sailed them from stone docks beneath the mountains to Aules' workshop in valinor, where they lived in a separated peace.
Hey Mr. West why did Frodo and Bilbo avoid marriage and children? After their adventures I mean. It always made me a little sad that Frodo never got a wife. Bilbo too of course.
LOL thanks for that name haha! That is a great question. I might imagine it had something to do with the dooms that were laid upon them, and that their adventures changed and wounded them so much (respectively) that they may not have found any comfort or happiness in other Hobbits who knew not the outside world.
Yeah I understand. The ring left a nasty scar on both of them. Besides it’s really hard to find a female hobbit that has a love for adventure lol 😆. Also I’m sorry I forgot to mention , awesome video dude! 😁👍🏼👍🏼
In the words of Colombo: “By the way one more thing. “ I have one video idea lol 😆. What is Bilbo managed to kill Smaug. That would take David versus Goliath to a whole new level Lol 😆
Bilbo had the Ring for decades it probably influenced his desires, Frodo might've suffered PTSD carrying it while the Ring used its full influence trying to stop him.
I found it incredibly distracting and annoying after the 50+ badly rolled R's that stick out terribly in contrast to the rest of his speech. I wish he'd avoid the tryhard pronunciations and just tell the story. Literally my only complaint.
1st time commenting, great video! Got a question too: what would have happened if the fellowship took the gap of rohan rather than going through Moria?
I really wish Tolkien could have finished his story after the War of the Ring, the 4th age would have been really interesting. Supposedly the blue wizards returned as evil overlords, would have been cool.
I don’t understand why or how the Dwarves declined to extinction after the Fourth Age. I mean, they recover Erebor at the end of the Third Age, they recover Khazad-dum (Moria) in the Fourth Age, they have friendly relations with Men, so why should they decline? It makes no sense. What happened?
Completly guessing here: As far as I now, the Legendarium never was meant to be pure fantasy. It was kind of a "history book" for us, like Arda was just a Proto-Earth. So obviously, at one point everything in Middle-Earth that does not exist on our planet had to go eventually. That includes the dwarves. I read somewhere that Tolkien (or his son) once explained, that in the Fourth Age the memory of magic would fade, since all elves left ME, so it would become a very cold and sad place, without any magic or mystery in it.
@John Dupreez read the silmarillion men were created mortal elros was a half elven son of aerendil also half elven and brother of elrond the half elven were given the choice of man or elf elrond chose elf elros chose man
I agree. Today is my first time ever hearing the Dwarf race eventually going extinct at some point during Arda's history. It makes no sense for them to just die out, especially after everything they've done, been through and more. But if you think about it, it honestly sounds like something Tolkien had in his early writings that he never got around altering or altogether changing.
I wonder of those Elves of Hollin that could not either flee to Imladris or the Grey Havens instead sought refuge in Khazad-Dum, at least for the time being until they could either take safe passage into the West or settle in nearby Elven Realms.
I've always been sad to hear of the ending that was planned for the Dwarves, where they would all just gather in one place and prepare to die out, leaving (so it seems) no trace behind them. You have to wonder how they would have wanted us to remember them, and why they couldn't have been allowed to leave something for us to find . . . and perhaps, to learn from.
Durin 3 had the greatest friendship with the elves It was under him the door was made with the mightiest of the the elven craftsman and the mightiest dwarven craftsmen
So their where only 7 male dwarves in the beggining. So how did all other dwarves come to be. Is this just supossed to be myth or did a bunch of dwarves awaken, but the 7 lords first in special places?
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
He named the nameless hills and dells
He drank from yet untasted wells
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
And saw a crown of stars appear
As gems upon a silver thread
Above the shadow of his head
The world was fair, the mountains tall
In Elder Days before the fall
Of mighty Kings in Nargothrond
And Gondolin, who now beyond
The Western Seas have passed away
The world was fair in Durin's Day
A king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and silver floor
And runes of power upon the door
The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
There shown forever far and bright
There hammer on the anvil smote
There chisel clove, and graver wrote
There forged was bladed and bound was hilt
The delver mined the mason built
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale
And metel wrought like fishes' mail
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword
And shining spears were laid in horde
Unwearied then were Durin's folk
Beneath the mountains music woke
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang
And at the gates the trumpets rang
The world is grey, the mountains old
The forge's fire is ashen-cold
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere
There lies his crown in water deep
'Till Durin wakes again from sleep

"Because, Master Baggins, you should never underestimate Dwarves"
I dont know why the history of the dwarves fascinates readers so much. They came before the elves but awoke after, they are niether elf nor man; they are obstinate, stubborn, and loyal to a fault. They are truly unique.
One thing is certain, if u have a dwarf in your company consider yourself lucky and never with a dull moment ^_^
And be sure not to upset them for they long bear a grudge and will pay back any wrongs they perceive
When I first read the simarilion, when I was 10(I think) I found it so cool and fascinating, I always loved dwarves, but this made me love them more
they just seem bitchy dead weight and always rubbed me the wrong way lol
I loved the dwarves loyalty and courage , meat eating, drinking and smoking, making the finest metal works and there mountain architecture and giant forges I bet if smaug didn't attack erabor they could of invented the steam engine and start a industrial revolution going and with all the gold to support a very powerful trade economy building railroad s to dale, to shire, Gondor, Rohan etc getting goods and people around middle earth connecting them or at least have horse drawn wagon size railcars to use lol

LOL ❤️
It is said the Glory of Durinn the Deathless works were renowned in Middle Earth. I wonder what Durin the First royal hall looked like in its height.
Never a dull moment when with the dwarves.
As always, well done, Mellon
Is it weird that I fall asleep watching your videos every night? You have a very calming voice.
Not at all! Thank you very much! 😀

Please make a video on Eonwe and also the Eotheod
Please my dude, tell me who/where I can find that first picture of Durin at 0:20. I'm tearing through your posted artists, but having no luck.
I couldn’t find the artist for it, but type in “Durin the Deathless art” on Google and it should come up! Enjoy!

One of the dwarves to have seen the maker and survived the scorned wrath, their memories would live on.
I don't know if I have mentioned this, but in the line of Durin illustration in the appendices, the line from Thorin III to Durin VII is dotted, meaning that there may be unknown generations between Thorin III and Durin VII

Especially how Iluvatar adopts them as his children out of love.
Any history of Telchar?
Your accent is cool when you said “Durin” it sounds heroic
I found it incredibly distracting and annoying after the 50+ badly rolled R's that stick out terribly in contrast to the rest of his speech. I wish he'd avoid the tryhard pronunciations and just tell the story. Literally my only complaint.
The moment you remember that The Hobbit was published the same year Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released: 1937.
I wish we could know more about the dwarves of the east. Dwarves that fought for the dark lords. And what lead them to do so.
Hey Yoystan! Is there some information about where the dwarves go after death?
Question : How did Frodo knew Bofur's song "Man on the Moon" in Fellowship of the Ring ?
Maybe he got that from Bilbo's book
1st time commenting, great video! Got a question too: what would have happened if the fellowship took the gap of rohan rather than going through Moria?
AWesome! I Love the Dwarves! I play a Dwarf in LOTRO! since that game started. I have a whole history of my dwarf's family! =)
What happened to the other six fathers?
I really wish Tolkien could have finished his story after the War of the Ring, the 4th age would have been really interesting. Supposedly the blue wizards returned as evil overlords, would have been cool.
I don’t understand why or how the Dwarves declined to extinction after the Fourth Age.
I mean, they recover Erebor at the end of the Third Age, they recover Khazad-dum (Moria) in the Fourth Age, they have friendly relations with Men, so why should they decline? It makes no sense. What happened?
And they had also their old cities in the ered luin
Completly guessing here: As far as I now, the Legendarium never was meant to be pure fantasy. It was kind of a "history book" for us, like Arda was just a Proto-Earth. So obviously, at one point everything in Middle-Earth that does not exist on our planet had to go eventually. That includes the dwarves.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful
How did the dwarves proliferate from the first seven of them?
Have you told the story of narvi and the elf with whom he built the gates of moria (sorry his name escapes me)?? If not, i would love to hear it :)
The dwarf in the icon looks like an angry Maltese.
I wonder of those Elves of Hollin that could not either flee to Imladris or the Grey Havens instead sought refuge in Khazad-Dum, at least for the time being until they could either take safe passage into the West or settle in nearby Elven Realms.

So where were the dwarf women when Durin awakened?
How Durin the deathless lives so long?

The seven Dwarven kings named Durin accomplished a lot more than the twenty-three or so kings of France named Louis.

Where did the female dwarves come from? Sounds like only Male Dwarves were created?
So their where only 7 male dwarves in the beggining. So how did all other dwarves come to be. Is this just supossed to be myth or did a bunch of dwarves awaken, but the 7 lords first in special places?
