Iarwain, that's why I left the 15,000 years in between...so LotR and the real world wouldn't become too mixed with each other.

The HoMe book with the Dagoroth legend was Volume IV, The Shaping of Middle-earth, pp. 89-91.

The "End" of Middle-earth (or indeed of Arda) is actually a new beginning, in which the Two Trees are rekindled and everyone who ever existed comes back to life (talk about overpopulation). Melkor is finally defeated once and for all, and everyone is happy (especially the Dwarves, who get to help their own creator rebuild the world).

As for a civilization that this would be representative of....I have no freaking idea (pardon my "French").

I have seven degrees in Tolkienology!
