I don't think he knows about second breakfast.

Ok, so I was reading up on norse mythology (as you do) and there is this epic poem called Voluspå, which most of it is based on. After explaining who Odin and Thor are, it names all the dwarves who were helping them out. And, guys, LOOK AT THIS!

THEY’RE ALL HERE! EVEN GALDALF IS, ACCORDING TO A 1000  YEAR OLD LEGEND, A DWARF! WHO WERE CHILLING OUT WITH THOR AND ODIN! 

And just to top it off, the last one, Eikinskjald, translates into ‘oakenshield’.

That is all. Now I shall spend the rest of time imagining Thor and Thorin arm wrestling and getting drunk in Valhalla. 

ALSO

Fundin - father of Balin and Dwalin

Nali, Frar, Loni - listed in the Book of Mazarbul as killed in Moria

Nain - Dain’s dad

Dain - Obvs.

Nar - in the Appendices, listed as Thror’s great friend, who followed him into Moria.

   That’s because LotR was meant as a way to revive norse mythos for the modern era.Go read Volsungsaga. That’s where you...

    Tolkien did not remotely hold back on his love of Germanic history, Norse polytheism and linguistics.
