The Ents and Dwarves both fought on the side of the Free Peoples against Sauron, but they also fought each other, and had ideological differences. Today we explore this conflict between these mighty beings! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
