: Is there anything anywhere about dwarven settlements in the : Grey Mountains prior to the fall of Khazad-Dum ? I dimly : remember Gundabad as being a Khuzdul name, did Tolkien write : anything about it ? Hope this has not been discussed too often : :) (I have been through all the Archives available to avoid : too nuch repeating...) : Frederic In THE PEOPLES OF MIDDLE-EARTH there is an essay (very long) called "Dwarves and Men". There it is stated that Gundabad was originally a Dwarven city where the seven Houses would hold conclaves, a sort of international capitol for the Dwarves. Thus its occupation by Orcs really incensed them. However, no other communities are named. ------------------ Parma Endorion: Essays on Middle-earth, Revised Edition |
