Dude, I always cry when I hear Gandalf say Fíli and Kíli fell defending Thorin -- with shield and body. And although Thorin died in the end, when one considers that, if Thorin had not survived the battle, would there have been a timely sure-footed man calling out to Bilbo when he woke weakly, sick, and alone at the top of Ravenhill? It was only the fact that someone was trying to find him made Bilbo realize he was wearing the ring, and that moment was the first that brought to mind the ring's drawbacks. What might have become of him if he'd tried to stumble down off the cliff with it on, I don't like to think... And if Bilbo hadn't heard Thorin's parting words, how different might the years afterwards have been? Bilbo's choice to relinquish the ring was such a near thing, one wonders if things might have gone very differently after all, if not for the heart shown by those two little blue cloaked fiddling sons of Dis...

I think Brand's death might have hit him the hardest. Bard was a grown adult who Dain expected to fight and yet made a friend while each other re-established their respective kingdoms. So there were definitely a lot of tussling back and forth as each other's interests could be in conflict. Bain was already born by the Five Armies, and was growing into the system already established by Bard and Dain, so things might have gone much smoother and they might have been friendlier. But Brand was a fresh start, the first king of Dale born in the restored kingdom with a neighboring Erebor. I can definitely picture Bain presenting Dain with a baby and having the Dwarf King act as an old grandfather figure to the boy as he grew up, teaching him and playing with him and beaming with pride as he became a man, and seeing that man die in front of him. I can imagine that grief was a major component of the vigor with which he wielded his old axe. The First was a colleague, the Second was a Friend, the Third was a Son.

For example, the music you used in this video reminded me of Jim Kirkwood's King of the Golden Hall. The guy is a legend of dungeon synth (among other things). Artists of all kinds really help you form a more magic bond with Arda... especially musicians. For example, when I was first reading the Silmarillion, I descovered Blind Guardian's album - Nightfall in Middle-Earth... a masterpiece that combined with the book made a teenager back then forever belong with a good part of his soul to Tolkien's world.

Do you think Sauron’s promise of returning Khazad Dum to the dwarves is something he could’ve kept? If I’m not mistaken NotR discussed in a previous video that the Balrogs (specifically in this case Durin’s Bane) didn’t necessarily hold any loyalty to Sauron and seeing that the Balrogs, the Istari, and Sauron were all Maiar, and Durin’s Bane still even ended up taking Gandalf with him as he fell, Sauron might have been able to handle the balrog but would that be a guarantee?
@Dinoman9877 Жыл бұрын
Deception is one of Sauron's primary weapons after all, and Dain himself can see the deception in this when he says he must consider what the message means 'under its fair cloak.' Sauron wouldn't be concerned about having to uphold his side of the bargain. Should the ring have been returned to him, the free lands of Middle-Earth would have fallen under his dominion, and Moria would have been the least of the dwarves' problems when they had brought about their own downfall, should they have accepted and given away Bilbo's location before Gandalf had become aware of their search. I also don't see it as entirely impossible that with the ring, Sauron's power may even have outstripped the Balrog's. He was Morgoth's chief servant after all, even over Gothmog, the lord of balrogs and likely strongest amongst their number, and this was long before Sauron had forged the ring to augment his strength. Sauron needn't have concerned himself with Durin's Bane until he was ready, and by that time his power would have matched if not eclipsed the Balrog's, so it would either submit to his rule, or succumb to his wrath.

Smaug differs a bit from the others due to the simple fact he possesses a driving trait Sauron could have used to gain his cooperation or even an alliance: draconic greed.
