The Dwarves of Durin's Folk (later joined by other clans) who mined and worked mithril for long ages in the halls of Khazad-dûm, and who had the friendship of the Elves of Eregion during the Second Age.
Notes
1 |
After the inundation of Beleriand at the end of the First Age, the Dwarf-clans of Nogrod and Belegost left their ruined cities in the Blue Mountains and migrated eastwards, and many of these migrants settled in Khazad-dûm. Those clans are not named in canonical sources, but the essay Of Dwarves and Men (in The History of Middle-earth volume XII) identifies them as the Firebeards and the Broadbeams.
