Today we dive into the original seven fathers of the dwarves and their respective houses: the Longbeards, Blacklocks, Broadbeams, Firebeards, Ironfists, Stonefoots, and Stiffbeards. We will also cover the Pettydwarves and their hostility toward the elves. Follow each house of the dwarves throughout their history in both Beleriand and Middleearth! We will even see some brand new information from the pages of "The Nature of Middleearth"!
