Durin’s Story Explains Why The Dwarves Hate Elves In Lord Of The Rings

Warning: Spoiler for Ring of Power Episode 7 where Durin III describes dwarves ring of power In episode 7, he also implicitly explains where the whole feud between elves and dwarves originates. Lord of the Rings we go here. It is well known that the elves and dwarves of Middle-earth have an eternally cold relationship. finished Everything that happens between the elves and the dwarves is always tense and hostile – as seen in the beginning Lord of the RingsLegolas and Gimli.The working relationship between Moria and Eregion ring of power are rare exceptions to the rule.

ring of power In Episode 7 (“The Eye”) Durin III tells his son the story of the Dwarf’s creation, how the Valar known as Aulë created the Dwarf from fire and stone. Although the King of Moria tries to teach his son a lesson here, he also teaches the audience how the feud between elves and dwarves begins. Eru Ilúvatar – the mythical god JRR Tolkien – is the only entity capable of creating life. Auri breaks this rule by creating dwarves, but Eru sympathizes when the disobedient Vala prepares to throw her chubby stone man into the recycling bin. After accepting Auri’s illegal side job, Eru allows the dwarves to exist and grants them the ability to live.

Why do dwarves and elves really hate each other

However, Eru has a rule. He asserts that since the dwarves are not true descendants of Iluvatar, they must lie still until the elves wake up. Eru also issued a decree, “There’s always a dispute between you and me. At this time, a chaotic war between elves and dwarves was formed. Elves forever view Auri’s children as inferior, while dwarves consider elves arrogant and arrogant, thereby nurturing their own unyielding pride. It’s equally important that the dwarves of Middle-earth see it that way because Auri isn’t entirely sure how her father’s elves and humans will develop.

Another major reason for the feud between elves and dwarves in The Lord of the Rings

Finrod in Rings of Power

Interracial quarrels in Middle-earth would inevitably arise over how the elves and dwarves were created, but significant events fueled their feud. By far the most important is in the first era of JRR Tolkien – even before ring of power happen. The dwarves made a beautiful necklace called Nauglamir for Galadriel’s brother, Finrod, as their relationship with the elves had not yet deteriorated and Finrod was not as friendly as the elf ruler. After the kingdom of Finrod fell, Nauglamir finally went to King Thingol of Doriath, who asked the Dwarf to add to his jewelry collection the precious glowing Silmaril. The dwarves agreed, but like many before them, were captivated by their wondrous creation and asked to keep it. Thingol responded with harsh reprimands, leading to many bloody battles and deaths on both sides. The Dwarves present at the time also had an unfavorable outcome in the Naugramir affair, which further fueled the hatred of their loved ones.

Elves and dwarves had a good relationship before their rift with Thingol, but their quarrel over Nauglamir marked the beginning of a century of distrust, fulfilling a prophecy Eru made when Aulë reveals her secret creation for the first time. Only in rare cases (Moria & Eregion in ring of powerLegolas & Gimli at Lord of the Ringsetc) Will the two races really join forces in Middle-earth?
