The Petty-dwarves of Middle-earth were enigmatic Dwarven outcasts from the seven clans. While they played important roles in the Silmarillion, they were ultimately wiped out. They present an interesting moral quandary in the lore, which we will dive into! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on this folk in the comments below! 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!
