I was reading appendix A at the back of LORT last night and came across the following passage:
Quote:
|
For the dwarves had proves untameable by this means (the rings). the only power over them that the Rings weilded was to inflame their hearts with a greed of gold and precious things...But they were made from their beginning of a kind to resist most steadfastly any dominion. though they could be slain or broken, they could not be reduced to shadows enslaved to another will; and for the same reason their lives were not affected by any Ring, to live either longer or shorter because of it.

If the dwarves could not be corrupted by any of the rings of power, why wasn't a dwarf gives the One Ring to take to Mount Doom?
