DWARVEN BATTLE COMPANY

Across the length and breadth of Middle-earth, there are countless brave and powerful warriors, from the supernaturally skilful and ancient Elves to the barbarous and brutal Uruk-hai. Of all the races that share this world, none possess the tenacity and stoicism of the Dwarves. The line of Durin has survived despite the efforts of Orcs, Goblins, and Dragons. While the axes of the Dwarves remain sharp and ready, their line will continue.

At the time of the War of The Ring, the main Dwarven strongholds were Erebor (The Lonely Mountain) and the Iron Hills. Famed for their hardiness, the Dwarves of the Iron Hills waged a war of extermination against the Orcs and Goblins of Middle-earth that ended only after the recapture of the Lonely Mountain from Smaug the Dragon.

Traditionally, the homes of the Dwarves are mountain holds — nigh impenetrable to all foes, dug deep into the roots of the mountains themselves. There, they can withstand almost any assault by simply barring the doors. Despite this penchant for isolation, Dwarves make good neighbours and better allies and take the duty of fighting the Evil races of Middle-earth very seriously. Often, groups of Khazâd will set out from their cavernous dwellings and patrol the surrounding areas. Such companies soon earn renown and prestige as they return to the halls of their liege with tales of battle and adventure. For just as every Dwarf loves gold and good food, so too do they love songs that tell of daring deeds and mighty battles.
