A dwarf as ringbearer? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Excellent thread.

The only possible downfall of a dwarven ringbearer that I can see is "the Rings weilded was to inflame their hearts with a greed of gold and precious things"

Frodo said somewhere that he goes not to find treasure but to destroy one. If a dwarf's heart was inflamed by this, the most powerful of rings, would he be able to stay true to his mission. He might be so overcome with greed that he would forsake the mission and go looking to make his fortune. And even if he did get it to the cracks of doom, would he be able to throw away this wonderful treasure?
