Question

But all that information is contained in well-hidden dwarf records, which only dwarves would be able to access, and written in dwarven languages, which only dwarves can understand! We'd have to be dwarves! (not a problem for you I guess [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). ... I think the secrecy of dwarves is probably too important for us to know these things without somehow damaging Tolkien's portrayal of them (how did he come by this information anyway? etc)

My own addition?... hmmm... maybe more about the relationship between Finrod and the race of Men. I suspect that was interesting...
