This is a bit off-topic, but it occurs to me that apparently no Dwarves ever saw Númenor. Did they even know about it? Since their area of renown to Men was as warriors and weaponsmiths, would that be a reason for the Númenóreans never inviting them in the early years of the realm, when there was peace? What of the later times, in which Númenor turned to war? Did they do business with Dwarves?
I realize that Dwarves seem to have had a aversion to the Sea, so that might after all be the simplest explanation.
