I have been doing some Spring cleaning and came across an old notebook with some anagram work and old notes. Dwarf facts come first, followed by a portion of a short story I wrote about Dis, this all was about ten years ago, hard to believe. For whatever it is worth:

Towns would not permit us to camp too close, in case Smaug was trailing us. We would camp miles outside of a town and a few of our men would go into the town to see if there was work, food or other supplies to be had. It gradually became easier for our men to work because Smaug never came back and Dwarvish men are very skilled at working metal and stone,
The survivors of Erebor gradually split-up, wandering in smaller groups. Some settled in the Iron Hills. We settled in the Blue Mountains. I love the Blue Mountains. I was very happy there for many years.
My favorite Moon is the Crescent Moon three days before the New Moon. When I watched this Crescent Moon rise over the mountains in a dark azure sky, I felt that there was hope for us, that we could be healed.
