epic - what are some of your favorite nuggets that are not known by most enthusiasts

One of my favourite tidbits was that the dwarves were actually created by a different creator to the humans and elves. Can't remember if that's noted in the main trilogy or just silmarillion.

Enthusiastic about web3 domains. Imported a web2 DNS address into ENS and voila, got my grail domain, Jack.top

sooooo was he a dwarf? getting some hephaestus vibes

Definitely some overlap—though there was a lot more even with the Sons of Ivaldi of Norse myth

It’s unclear if he was meant to be dwarf-like as I recall—one of those details Tolkien left ambiguous

I always imagined Aulë that way though
