That was my take on it Faenoriel [In reply to]	Can't Post

Did he wife some of the daughters of the other Fathers? Then all the Longbeards are actually of mixed origin, and Durin himself is the only purebred Longbeard.

That he sought out a wife when the others were rather arranged by Aule. It would mean he wed later in life as well, awaiting the maturing of one of the daughters.

Is there a Tolkien topic that you have wanted to look into more deeply, and write about your thoughts on it? If so, we'd like to hear from you for the next TORn Amateur Symposium- coming in November. Happy writing!
