Ai, ai, Kuruharan, you should have opened up something named "concerning dwarf-friends' not getting those bearded shorties onto noble "big brother' related discussion
Well, Alaksoron, you really make it sound like "big brother is watching over you"
I never intended to sound like I thought anyone were obliged to serve elves. On the contrary, the fact of service provided when such is not requested may make elves feel grateful and so give out such a title as of an elf-friend. Indeed, it was the case of great wonder to elves of Beleriand, that short lived men gave up their really precious lives for elves, in a war, which, technically, had nothing to do with them. Really, why should Three Houses care for some jewels Morgoth and Noldor were quarreling over?
As for the purpose of Having both men and elves around rather than starting it all over again here at the spot, I better readdress you to the
following thread
Enjoy.
Ah, and yes, welcome to the Barrow-Downs
