Not only for the natural building reasons of: lots of dwarves are going to be living here, but, dwarves love to build and are going to do it as much as they can. It does seem sensible that Aule would pass on his love of building to the dwarves. The dwarves also seem like a proud race, perhaps they were trying to show off their skill and how beautiful they could make things. As far as how the dwarves replaced the oil in chandeliers...um...maybe a really really huge ladder? Either that or they got their buddy and pal the balrog to do it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
