The Seven Houses of the Dwarves | Tolkien Explained

Today we dive into the original seven fathers of the dwarves and their respective houses: the Longbeards, Blacklocks, Broadbeams, Firebeards, Ironfists, Stonefoots, and Stiffbeards. We will also cover the Petty-dwarves and their hostility toward the elves. Follow each house of the dwarves throughout their history in both Beleriand and Middle-earth! We will even see some brand new information from the pages of "The Nature of Middle-earth"!
