But it would really fit Dain's slaying of the great goblin Azog! Dain he was a very young Dwarf at the time (only 32, while Dwarves reach maturity, or "battle-readiness" at the age of 30), and it was heralded as a magnificent feat.
I call myself Groin because I typed it wrong on the keyboard. It was suppose to be Gróin Redbeard, but I messed up and I don't know how to change it.  Incidentally, Gróin was Gimli's grandfather. |
That's funny, Mr. Groin.
Can't you PM an administrator and ask to have it changed though?
And yeah, I suppose that song is more fitting for Dain's life, not his ending. Then again, his ending wasn't described as tragic, rather triumphant. To paraphrase Gandalf: it was amazing he could still swing his axe with such vigour at his old age (or something like that)...
