THE RING and corruption

[Dain]

You guys are doing great, but I don't have much to add to your current thoughts. We had mentioned Dwarves a page or so back, so I thought I'd pop this in, since I found it while doing work somewhere else...

Though they could be slain or borken, they could not be reduced to shadows enslaved to another will; and for the same reason their lives were not affected by any ring, to live either longer or shorter because of it.

I don't know if this means they could actually have resisted the one's other effects (I doubt it), but apparently they wouldn't have been as physically affected. Probably has something to do with being Children of Aule instead of/(as well as) Illuvatar.
