In this episode, we take a closer look at (IMO) the most fascinating races in Middle-Earth - the Dwarves. We dive into the creation of the Dwarves by the Vala Aulë, who crafted them in secret before the coming of the Elves. We discuss the reasons behind Aulë's creation and the consequences of his actions, including the intervention of Ilúvatar. We explore the origins of the Dwarves, their unique characteristics and what happens when they die. From their love of craftsmanship to their fierce loyalty (and temper), we examine what makes the Dwarves such compelling characters in Tolkien's mythology. So grab a pint of ale or a mug of mead and join us for a casual chat about the creation of the Dwarves in "A Drunk History of Middle-Earth"!
