#very sad rn because gimli never got to see it reclaimed :(

the sheer scale of khazad-dûm's existance is so unimaginable…! it existed longer than any elven realm in middle-earth (from what i know), it is older than the hobbits as a whole, it saw númenor rise and then sink back into the ocean. khazad-dûm was built by the literal first dwarf that awoke, it is older than the sun and moon. it encompasses nearly all of their existance. and it was brutally taken from them!! of course they want it back!!

#very sad rn because gimli never got to see it reclaimed :( #also also i so dearly wish we would know what the dwarves though of the sun and moon when they first appeared!! #song of durin sings that no stain yet on the moon was seen but he awoke in the years of the trees…i mean the moon was technically stainless #due to not being there ? #anyways the theme is in my mind it is. it is #dwarrows
