I have a soft spot for the early mentions of dwarves in the book. Early dwarf culture > late dwarf culture Smile

The part about how Thingol paid for the carving of his halls, "Menegroth: the Thousand Caves", in part with pearls from Cirdan. The dwarves who aided him had never seen such things before and prized them greatly. Pretty cute.

Yes, true, but they paid the price for their greed!

I wonder if any petty-dwarves will appear in this new Amazon show...
