Tolkien *rampant bias*

Khuharan, I can't imagine why the species you selcted to favor was the Dwarves.
They are portrayed by the honorable professor Tolkien (and, incidentally, Mr. Jackson as well) as greedy, crude, self-centered, savage, selfish, barbaric, and almost as a rule always concerned with nothing other than personal gain. Also, the honorable professor Tolkien was not the only one to portray them so. If you read other mythological writings (i.e. Chronicles of Narnia) you will find that this is a rather common opinion. The Elves can hardly be blamed for their obvious comtempt for the Dwarves. Elves tend to be magical, mystic, wise, and laid back, concerned with the higher arts. They are the opposites of the Dwarves. However, perhaps it is only my *rampant bias* only vice versa, fiercely and fanatically in the of Elves and the honorable professor Tolkien.
