[@reaganhayden5165]

Hey why not you can do the chronicles of Narnia since C.S.Lewis is great friend of J.R.R.Tolken

[@CivilizationEx]

I haven't read it unfortunately, so I'm not familiar with that universe.

[@wowjack8944]

The petty Dwarves had all the reason in the world to be mad at the Elves. The Dwarves did not even get compensation after the Elves found out they where sentient and then took Nagotrond from them...

[@Mateo-oq7ui]

Genocided peoples rarely get much compensation other than someone saying sorry

[@RandomVidsforthought]

Nargothrond not Nagotrond

[@concept5631]

*sapient

[@tarjacob2293]

I find it funny that the elves thought the petty dwarves were animals and hunted them. Like you really couldn’t tell that they were sentient, so you just start hunting.

[@noahmiller8042]

thats such a bs excuse too, like dude their usisng tools and weapons

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

Yeah also, like, how often do you hunt animals towards near extinction, elves of Beleriand?

[@concept5631]

**sapient,** not sentient.

[@noahmiller8042]

@hunter christensen so what your saying is the race of elves are a bunch of sociopaths/psychopaths? like even if you couldnt understand them the fact they were clearly speaking, using tools and most likely walking on two legs means oh thats clearly an animal lets shoot it with an arrow?

[@ByzantineDarkwraith]

Petty dwarves: *exist* Elves of Beleriand: “so I started blasting…”

[@thanosandnobill3789]

I sympathize with petty dwarves. Hunt you like an animal, for who knows how many centuries is a good excuse to be angry with the elves.

[@guilherme5094]

Same.

[@kauetadaieski3131]

They were hunted because they kept ambushing the elves.

[@MrRemicas]

Tbf, if Elves used to hunt my race (and what did they do with their prey? Did they eat them?) I'd be petty too, dwarf or not.

[@e.m.p.3394]

I've been interested on more specifics about them.

[@shinsenshogun900]

When you combine a curse of a petty dwarf with the oath of a violent elf, it hinders the Children of Iluvatar and aids Morgoth's warpath to vanquish Beleriand's finest heroes

[@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55]

Fuck communism

[@ranfan1820]

Petty Dwarves, eh? Must be particularly petty since a lot of dwarves are somewhat petty. This somewhat reminds me of the warhammer fantasy dwarves.

[@lisboah]

In the end, Mim had his vengeance. Doriath, the greatest realm of the Sindar, the people that nearly led his people to extinction, was sacked and left in ruins. And the descendants of the Dwarves that banished his ancestors that took the Nauglamir were hunted down by the Elves, just like Mim's people were. It is ironic that there was so much suffering and tragedy detailed in this video, and yet Morgoth, the epitome of evil in Tolkien lore, played little to none role in it, at least directly.

[@kauetadaieski3131]

Mim and petty dwarves are not meant to be victms here. They were the first to ambush the Sindar.

[@Zorokthegreat]

Awesome as always

[@htl_gaming]

Great work as always my friend. Keep it up, i cannot wait for the next lotr video!

[@irhamzin1680]

The Dwarves!!! Du Bekar!!! Baruk khazad!!! Khazad ai-menu!!!!

[@MasterLordNikesama]

Perfection I'm always enjoy watching your channel my friend, :)

[@hughgedney3393]

A very extremely great video as always CivilizationEx.

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Good informing🔥🔥🔥 👍

[@Crafty_Spirit]

The ramifications of Mîm's murder are not petty at all. It's gruesome how the injustice he suffered would get back exponentially at everyone close to the cursed loot, even mixing with the Silmaril's curse 💣💣💣

[@guilherme5094]

Great story.

[@HeartlessRandomguy]

Aule: Stop! Hammer Time! Fathers of the Dwarves: Yeah! Seriously! Stop the Hammer Time now!

[@SHARKVADERS]

CivEx!!!

[@quintin.p3]

can we have a video on khand??

[@CivilizationEx]

At some point I probably will.

[@quintin.p3]

@@CivilizationEx yayyy🥺

[@krystianklima2503]

Well done 👌

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

Wait, was that the end of that specific Silmaril? I thought it was the one that ended up in the sky... must be remembering wrong or different books/sources with different Tolkien ideas?

[@CivilizationEx]

That wasn't the end, the Nauglamir was lost but that Silmaril was recovered by Ulmo, who then gave it to Earendil, so it did end up in the sky with him.

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

@@CivilizationEx aaahhhhh ok ok I was not remembering that Ulmo passage, in my head/memories it was like directly from the necklace to Earendil Thanks for answering, and by the way I always enjoy your vids on the series/books that I am passionate about, very nice job in giving all the infos always :D

[@CivilizationEx]

Thanks! :)

[@Crafty_Spirit]

Excellent video. Where is it actually written that the petty dwarves migrated from the far East and that they were hunted by Elves? A version of the Children of Húrin or The History of Middle-Earth series?

[@CivilizationEx]

It's from the Silmarillion: "For Mîm came of Dwarves that were banished in ancient days from the great Dwarf-cities of the east..." "Before the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost came west over the mountains the Elves of Beleriand knew not what these others were, and they hunted them, and slew them; but afterwards they let them alone, and they were called Noegyth Nibin, the Petty-Dwarves, in the Sindarin tongue."

[@Crafty_Spirit]

@@CivilizationEx Thank you so much :-) I have to reread this jewel soon.

[@rayleigh8]

They were not small in their beginning, they shrank when Aule tried to destroy them.

[@CivilizationEx]

The Silmarillion states they shrank from Aule's hammer in fear, but as far as I know that doesn't mean they physically diminished in size. I thought it meant they simply ducked low and bowed their heads. I've never heard or read anywhere that it meant they became smaller. Do you have some source for that? Here is the quote: "...and the Dwarves shrank from the hammer and were afraid, and they bowed down their heads and begged for mercy."

[@rayleigh8]

CivilizationEx that’s the only source I got and I interpreted as in a physical sense

[@CivilizationEx]

I suppose it's open to interpretation.

[@rayleigh8]

CivilizationEx you know that we are dealing with basically gods or at least very powerful beings whose will and emotions can manifest physically somehow. I thought that his will power or intentions shrank them.

[@WongaCoup173]

Wait, how did 7 male dwarfs start 7 clans? 🤔

[@nobleathenian3945]

At least six of them were placed with their wives.

[@MrBigCookieCrumble]

They had wives, ya dork! xD

[@Crafty_Spirit]

@@MrBigCookieCrumble Dwarven wives or perhaps some left over Silvan elves and Avari? 🤣

[@HeartlessRandomguy]

Gimli: Dwarven women are so alike to the men in face and voice, that some people even believe there are no dwarven women. Aragorn: It's the beards

[@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55]

I love the Children Of Hurin

[@xShadowsaur]

"Mim gained a small following" A small following comprised of which race/s? As Mim is the last petty dwarf, it couldn't have been other petty dwarves, and I doubt elves or dwarves would follow him.

[@CivilizationEx]

That part is not completely clear cause it comes from Tolkien's alternative versions of the story, where he expands on what we know. But he mentions it was the lowly people who lived in the area, mainly orcs and fallen elves, but possibly some dwarves and primitive humans too.

[@xShadowsaur]

@@CivilizationEx Ah, a reply from the illustrious CivilizationEx! Thank you for answering my question as best as one can! I imagine that the most likely would be primitive humans, especially with the theory that orcs may have slain Ibun would likely remove the chance for Mim to work them willingly. Additionally, I can't imagine with his hatred he'd want to work with even fallen Elves, nor do I think Dwarves would want to associate with him. But, of course, this is all just speculation. Thanks agian!

[@ByzantineDarkwraith]

@@CivilizationEx fallen elves? Did Tolkien speak of fallen elves anywhere else in his writing? (besides perhaps when describing one possibly origin for the orcs). Fallen elves sound very interesting

[@CivilizationEx]

@@ByzantineDarkwraith Yes he did, many of the Elves captured over the years eventually fell to Melkor's corruption. Originally that meant being turned into orcs, but later those Elves were used as spies, infiltrators and informants. It was still rare, but by no means unheard of. Maeglin of Gondolin is an example.

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

Yeah I would be pretty angry if someone hunted my race into non existence

[@Yusa_Beach]

So it was the Elves fault

[@Shaden0040]

Aule made the 7 dwarven fathers. Did Eru make the 7 dwarven mothers so the race could continue?

[@Crafty_Spirit]

I think it was written that the 7 dwarves woke up next to their wives, but it's not clear who created them. My guess is Aule designed them and Eru gifted the imperishable flame.

[@cpegg5840]

Mim is one of the villains I most hate from the First Age

[@theunknownspeedrunner276]

He is not a villain, the elves were the villains of the first age, be careful, the petty dwarves gang is coming to kill you
