<p>Osric: </p> <hr /> <div>The Arkenstone was more important to Thorin than all that gold -- and that was a lot of dwarvish gold 'pepped up' with dragon-sickness to which Thorin was clearly not immune. <br /> <br /> What can be so important about it? [[User:Osric|Osric]]</div>

<p>Osric: Lifespan comment</p> <hr /> <div>There needs to be a history of the Dwarves on here.<br /> <br /> Yes. I suggest you register and help create it. Dwarvish history is large enough it deserves its own article, yet small enough that it wouldn't be so long as, say, an Elvish history article, which would practically be an article on the [[First Age]], and a little on the Second and Third ages. We should probably write a chronological article and then place a timeline at the bottom. I don't have time at the moment, but I hope to get to it tomorrow. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 22:49, 18 August 2006 (EDT)<br /> <br /> Lifespan 250 years is particularly closely adhered to in the timeline/genealogies (and sons born at father's age either 101 or 102!), but this is for the Longbeards who we are told to be the longest-lived of the Houses.--[[User:Osric|Osric]] 12:43, 14 November 2006 (EST)</div>

<p>Osric: Etymol.</p> <hr /> <div>Tolkien explicitly stated that it was in origin a Dwarven name. Since we also have &quot;Felagund&quot; from Kh.: &quot;felak-gundu&quot; or hewer of caves, the &quot;Gunda-&quot; part of the name must refer to the caves within it.<br /> <br /> I'm sure someone ought to be able to nail the name completely.<br /> <br /> --[[User:Osric|Osric]] 12:38, 14 November 2006 (EST)</div>

<p>Osric: Strategic signif.; Etymol.</p> <hr /> <div>Gundabad is mostly associated with the Orcs, and would have been important for the Enemy to hold, being in a commanding location on the supply route (and reinforcement route) to Angmar from the more eastern lands where Darkness held sway.<br /> But Tolkien explicitly stated that it was in origin a Dwarven name. Since we also have &quot;Felagund&quot; from Kh.: &quot;felak-gundu&quot; or hewer of caves, the &quot;Gunda-&quot; part of the name must refer to the caves within it. <br /> I'm sure someone ought to be able to nail the name completely. ;-)<br /> --[[User:Osric|Osric]] 12:36, 14 November 2006 (EST)</div>
