The Creation of Dwarves
In the Silmarillion it is said that Aule created the dwarves, and it is said that Iluvatar knew what was being done. If he knew what was bieng done then surely he shuld have stopped it. Did he maybe have a special relationship with Aule which I may have missed? I am very fond of Dwarves but surely if Iluvatar didn't want any other creatures than his own to be on Middle Earth then surely he would have stopped Aule?
