[[ Remember that the dwarves were never meant to be part of Arda.
Remember that Aule created them in hopes of having children to impart his craftsmanship and skills upon.
Remember that when Eru discovered them he commanded they be destroyed for being created before his chosen, his elves.
Remember the fact the among the first memories the seven fathers have was of their creator’s hammer, coming to strike them down.
Remember that they were forced to beg for their sheer existence.
Remember that and tell me that dwarves would share what culture they have wrought in a world that was not created for them. In a universe that allowed their survival only as an afterthought.
Tell me that they don’t deserve to be secretive. Tell me that they can’t be deeply offended when someone takes their crafts, their language, their stories and takes them upon themselves.
Tell me that the greed of the Dwarves is unjustified. ]]
–And that despite this, they choose to share their craft and language with those they trust, making possible some of the most dramatic events in Arda’s history and noteworthy objects of power.
And that even though their assistance is crucial, their collaboration with other races is also treated as an afterthought.
And their “greed”, as it manifests in its most destructive forms (the goldsickness and also the lust for the cursed nauglamir), is a sickness that was delivered by external, malevolent forces.
