Title: Dwarves...
Post by: Shedara on October 08, 2007, 03:35:33 PM

I remember reading somewhwere that from the Hobbit, the Dwarves names came from the Norse Roll of Dwarves. Any idea if a copy of this exists on t'internet, and if so, where? I've googled to no real effect, and just thought I'd ask here before going really disturbingly intense on it. (or, if you know of a book it's in, that would do just as well.)

Ta :)
