History of the Dwarves

Here follows a history of the Ravenbeards, as far back as the founding of our name. This chronicle is in story format because that is easier to read and understand than trying to make the reader sort through diaries, old family tales, interviews, and various miscellaneous documents. That is my job as a Scholar - to make our history accessible to future generations.

Always, has the knowledge found in books, interested me. To sit, and read, and learn, it is a bliss of unknown nature. And thus, I shall note down the extended histories, in their most complex, yet simple controversially - state, of the Munár dynasty, of the lore of Garmorn, and Harkmorn, and Argmorn, Rukhmorn, and other notable characters - Such as Tórunr.

The top paragraph is written in Khuzdul, yet below are a few sentences in the Common Tongue:

These are the writings of Balgolin of the Blue Mountains, traveler of Endor, written in the Third Age. They contain knowledge on the Dwarves of Endor, their demeanor, their culture, and their kingdoms. It is written in the common tongue and respects the laws of our people.
