Stop saying the dwarves of Khazad Dum ‘dug too greedily and too deep’ DWARVES DIG. IT’S WHAT THEY DO. I did’t see any of you popping over to let Durin VI know that he’s on top of a Balrog, how was anyone supposed to know! Saying it was ‘too deep’ or ‘too greedy’ is just Sindar propaganda, as if yall weren’t super content to sit pretty and huff weed in Menegroth while everyone else did the heavy lifting. Maybe if you’d done ANYTHING during the first age there wouldn’t BE a balrog under there in the fIRST PLACE!!! EVER THINK OF THAT? CELEBORN?

Dwarves were CREATED by the god who MADE mountains to DIG in those mountains! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 

Also mithril was in high demand by other races at the time and they didn’t seem to be in any rush to tell the Dwarves to stop mining it…
