I wish the Hobbit trilogy ended with Balin visiting Bilbo and given a monolog of what happened to Dale, Erebor, and the elves. It could have also ended with Balin expressing to Bilbo his desire to reclaim Moria in the near future.
Man, it would've been interesting if Thorin survived the battle of Dale. He would've discovered the truth about Bilbo carrying the One Ring. Plus, he would join the council of Elrond. I can imagine the conversation he would have with Gimli.
@@MarcRitzMD when the Balrog was awakened, the Dwarves were in a golden age, and their numbers were far greater than they are now, yet they still weren't able to fight off the Balrog.
You are so good at finding those little touches Tolkien wove into his stories with such poignancy. That image of Bilbo, 60 years after the adventure that defined him, reaching for his old dwarven cloak and hood, is something I will remember better now because of your video.
Thorins last words always give me pause every time i hear them, they are words of one who has seen everything the world has to offer and also one who has been struck with greed no matter how you look at it, the world would be a much happier place if we saw more value in food and cheer.... the hobbits live just a gentle life they can live so many life times and never once wonder about the horrors of war or the greed of man one of the biggest reasons i love Tolkien and his works is that i can go on so many adventures, i personally think he had more adventures he wanted to take us on, i wish we got to see more of his world
@sleevyy during the battle of azanubilzar thrain II wanted to enter moria after besting the orcs outside, but dain stopped him because he saw the balrog in the dark when he neared the entrance
I can't help but imagine Bombur, who was unwilling to refuse the call of battle as any dwarf would do, going to the battlefield in some sort of combat wheelchair, taking advantage of his weight and body mass to knock out and roll over the easterlings like rag dolls.
Grond but it's Bombur laughing maniacally as he lops off heads from his combat chair. The chair isn't mobile though - it's his normal chair being carried around by those previously mentioned poor young dwarves. He has an alternate six who swap out every few minutes to maintain efficiency.
Their feet ruffled among the dead leaves of countless other autumns that drifted over the banks of the path from the deep red carpets of the forest. Still Bombur slept and they grew very weary. At times they heard disquieting laughter. Sometimes there was singing in the distance too. The laughter was the laughter of fair voices not of goblins, and the singing was beautiful, but it sounded eerie and strange, and they were not comforted, rather they hurried on from those parts with what strength they had left. - The Hobbit - Chapter 8- Of Flies & Spiders.
You guys rock this. You know that you really bring it to life. I can't imagine a better storytelling voice or a better story to tell. Thank you so much!
I’ve always pictured Minus Tirith being a place after Sauron’s defeat. As a place that could become a multi race city. To have men dwarf elves hobbits and others living there. Rebuilt then expanded. Having other cities built onto the mountain face like the first to both sides. As well as having large caverns built inside the mountain for protection if needed. This place could become the hub of all middle earth. Becoming a mega city mountain. Where the riches of the mountain shared among those that actually live there and not passing through. Man if it was like this Sauron’s orgs wouldn’t never have breached the gates. Having Men Elf & Dwarfs working together as one force.
If you have seen the fellowship of the ring you would know Bilbo wanted to visit the elf city and Erebor/Lake Town again one last time before he grow too old.
This is an especially excellent presentation for me. Who doesn't love the dwarves through all their quirks and follies. Even though I've read the series six times, I still feel your presentations add depth to my understanding. Thank you!
Harkens back to the early vids of the channel with the vids of some of the dwarves of the company. Whatever is said of the Hobbit trilogy i will give it credit for fleshing out this group a whole lot more.
Agree. The "we don't belong anywhere" scene still makes me cry to this day. Especially when you know how often the dwarves have been kicked out of their homelands.
It would be nice if they made a movie covering the battle between the men of dale/dwarves of Erebor vs the Easterlings. It’d be cool to see those members of Thorin’s company again on screen.
Thank You! Recently stumbled upon N.O.T.R. This channel might easily be thee most comprehensive in depth study! Great art and overview. I like some of your "What if..?" approach. I look forward to future episodes. Thank you again
I really find it great that at the end when you say all the names that the last one is always "Debbie" after the all the strange, fantasy names, there's a Debbie at the end. The most normal sounding one of the bunch
Thank you so much for sharing this, I know there's previous video of 'What If' Thorin is still alive after the Battle of Five Armies and the impact or how it would affect the future towards the event of LoTR. I hope if you could make another 'What If' Kili and Fili survived the BoFA and how would they rules Erebor and the impact after the war and towards the event of LoTR. Or what if one of the brothers remained alive after the BoFA and what would be the differences between one another. I am quite new to your channel so in case if you already had made those vids hope you can share the link(s), but if not hope that you can consider this, thanks once again.
Love your videos man. There are quite a few people who cover LOTR lore but I enjoy yours the most. Thank you for what you do. I love learning more about this stuff 🙏
Dwalin was always my favorite dwarf because he had a 'BlueBeard' bluebeard. Bombur was next then Balin Oin Gloin Dori Nori Ori Thorin Bofur Bifur Fili and Kili. Also I like Bungo andFolco Boffin (who went home after lunch). Samcho Proudfoot seems nice too. All the Bree hobbits (with their 'botanical' names) are just stunning (Rhudhaur Hobbits). The North Kingdom was in 'ruin' for most of The Hobbit and Lord of The Ring time frame but the dwarves still made use of it. The Hobbit mentions a few detours at North Kingdom inns. So alot was occurring. Where did Grip Fang and Wolf (and Fatty Lumpkin too) come from? Throughtout The Hobbit the dwarves largely ignore Bilbo while in the North Kingdom. But Bilbo says they still saw other dwarves ('ambling by on ponies'). But Thorin in a fit of rage calls Bilbo 'a decendant of rats' which is beyond profound.
Völuspá ("Prophecy of the Seeress") is the first poem of the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems. It is preserved whole in two manuscripts, the Codex Regius and the Hauksbók, and partially in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda. J.R.R. Tolkien was influenced greatly by the saga, most obviously in the fact that most of the names of his Dwarves were drawn from it. Almost all of the names of the Dwarves of Middle-earth, as well as Gandalf's, are taken from a section of the Völuspá called the Dvergatal (the "Catalogue of Dwarves"). The Dvergatal is contained in stanzas 10-16:
I love how in a lot of sketches of Bilbo, fanmade or otherwise, he looks akin to Tolkien himself. I feel as though if any character in middle Earth were a self insert, it would be Bilbo
This line of thinking causes wild speculation: We don't know if Tolkien want this to be complicated (Merry Brandybuck) for us or simple (Eru Illuvatar or Samwise) for us to figure.
@@monacoandsiammonacoandsiam2674 to be honest, i was thinking more along the lines of fan art/ Jackson trilogy. There, Bilbo is depicted as poring over books and scrolls, being raptured in whatever histories he could find, as well as writing his own stories. As Bilbo made his mark upon Middle Earths history/ literature, so did Tolkien upon our own contemporary history
I have also heard theories that Tom Bombadil is a "self insert" for Tolkien, though I find this hard to believe, as Bombadil is portrayed as a happy-go-lucky type fellow who aids the four Hobbits, while Tolkien (in universe, as he "found" these ancient texts then translated them) is more of a scholarly influence on our understanding of his legendarium
It makes for an excellent storyline, but I hate that Thorin, Fili & Kili all die. That would've probably made a huge difference in the events in LOTR. Had they survived I bet Balin's quest and outcome would've been better, I also bet that Thorin, would've been the last to die given his bloodline being so rich.
Can you tell what music did you add between 0:00 to 0:59 i love this moment music in The background and i was wondering where i could find so i could listened in audio
playing minecraft i can see so much of the inspiration coming from lotr and i just wish it had dwarves or something like them. dwarves are definitely my favorite of all the races in lotr
Fascinating that Sauron knew Bilbo had the ring a few years after the Smaugs defeat. Does that imply Gollum was interrogated in Mordor earlier than indicated in "the Two Towers"? Were Lake Town and Erebor untouched by violence while Sauron and Saruman Attacked Gondor/Rohan?
It is rather impressive how long Dwarves live. Not endless like the elves, but they live far longer then men or hobbits do. Even of the numenoreans only those of the royal line lived up to 500 years, the average lived to 210, meanwhile the dwarves all can live very long, and no distinction seems to exist between the royal and non royal lifespans, because Dwalin lived to 340 years which is closer to Durin the first's lifespan then other dwarves.
I like the little added lore in Lord of the Rings Online, where Dwalin becomes ruler in the Blue Mountains. Seeing him again in the dwarf starting area put a smile on my face and it wouldn't even be to non-canon, since from this video I get the impression, that after the events of the Hobbit, only his date of death, not his whereabouts is known.
Great question! Those are the 2 most popular options. I think most people assume Nazgul, as Sauron only trusted them with the errand of reclaiming the ring.
I know Dain wasn't part of the Company but it seems jumping in to defend a fallen loved one runs in the family. Fili & Kili did it with Thorin during the Battle of the Five Armies while Dain jumped in to defend the body of King Brand during the Battle at the Gates of Erebor during The War of the Ring
What’s sad is, there hasn’t been new stories or movies that can reach the caliber of Tolkiens work or CS Lewis. We are sadly missing that gift in our time.
@Nerd of the Rings could you please do a video breaking down the dynamics of Frodo and Sam's relationship based on the book? In the books, it seemed like they began as neighbors, and then later Sam referred to Frodo as his "Master". As far as I can tell some where that is not mentioned in the book, Sam has been tasked to look after Frodo and serve as an extra pair of eyes to back Frodo up and watch his back and assist him in the task that has been assigned to him.
Can you imagine how Balin reacted when he sees Bilbo and noticed he's wearing the same cloak he'd given him in Bag End all those years ago? I'm can imagine a bone crushing hug would be involved.
@nerdoftherings since it’s a slow time rn with LoTR content can you PLEASE make a set of videos or videos showing the exact happenings during the LoTR movies. Like overview map showing their path and like everything happening in the background. I think those would be amazing videos. Like show what the dwarves were up to and the summoning of Sauron’s armies and the fellowships path. It would be so cool to see everything but picture happening. There is so much stuff normal watchers missed in the movies I think it would be amazing
The dwarves were always going to send an Emissary to Rivendell after Saurons visit to the lonely mountain Wasnt even because of Moria that Dain sent a member of the Company off to Rivendell as they had expressly asked about Bilbo already

I'm not sure Ori was ever actually identified amongst the dead in Moria, but was presumed dead given that none were known to have escaped or otherwise survived.
The book probably wasn't as big as the movies made it. It was probably a diary-sized fat little volume. Also, in the Hobbit, it was mentioned that dwarves, even when heavily laden, can trundle along at a quick pace because of their prodigious strength for their size. (Like ants). Hence Dain's supplied/provisioned/armed soldiers reaching Erebor so quickly.
Dain. Day-in. I never liked the Peter Jackson interpretation of the name, Dane. If Profé Tolkien had not wanted it as two syllables, then he wouldn't have put a stress mark in it. Dáin Ironfoot.
Out of everything IV even shown in terms of lore there is only 1 thing that annoys me .. if erebor was attacked during lotr after the fellowship of the ring is created, why did he not join in the fight? The iconic "We are proud to fight alongside men once more"bwould have been even more perfect that what it already is but then again one 1 dwarf plays an actual role in lotr
Remember guys, in 2033 The Hobbit book enters the Public Domain. So when that date arrives, feel free to make a horror adaptations of the story! And I mean only the Hobbit book the Rankin Bass special, the 1967 short and the Jackson Trilogy will still be locked down, along with LOTR and all it's adaptations.

Was a city of Men, that's how it was intended, Elves might not want to be to close to Mordor but get where you're coming from still.
It's a pleasant thought but the Dwarves would want to be underground and the Elves a rustic folk, not enclosed by walls.

I'm not sure Ori was ever actually identified amongst the dead in Moria, but was presumed dead given that none were known to have escaped or otherwise survived.
All the dwarf bones were found lying about. No dwarf left Moria. He would have died one way or the other.
@@emilyelizabethbuchanan998 ....okay?
Did Gimli really schlep that book around with him to battles and great journeys? I’m sure he cursed it on the run in pursuit of the Orcs.
The book probably wasn't as big as the movies made it. It was probably a diary-sized fat little volume. Also, in the Hobbit, it was mentioned that dwarves, even when heavily laden, can trundle along at a quick pace because of their prodigious strength for their size. (Like ants). Hence Dain's supplied/provisioned/armed soldiers reaching Erebor so quickly.
Dain. Day-in. I never liked the Peter Jackson interpretation of the name, Dane. If Profé Tolkien had not wanted it as two syllables, then he wouldn't have put a stress mark in it.
Dáin Ironfoot.
Subscription earned. loved it, even though it made me feel melancholy.
Good Work ❤️❤️❤️
Great job like before......Keep going :)
Wait... There's a MAP of Moria?!
Huge missed opportunity on not calling this channel Lore of the Rings.
Out of everything IV even shown in terms of lore there is only 1 thing that annoys me .. if erebor was attacked during lotr after the fellowship of the ring is created, why did he not join in the fight? The iconic "We are proud to fight alongside men once more"bwould have been even more perfect that what it already is but then again one 1 dwarf plays an actual role in lotr
love ❤️ this!!!
Remember guys, in 2033 The Hobbit book enters the Public Domain. So when that date arrives, feel free to make a horror adaptations of the story! And I mean only the Hobbit book the Rankin Bass special, the 1967 short and the Jackson Trilogy will still be locked down, along with LOTR and all it's adaptations.
Dear, can you please let me know the name of the background music played in the last few seconds of this music?
