Hey! we seem to be forgetting the many other dwarves that are mentioned within Tolkien's writings!
What about the 13 Dwarves that took Mr Bilbo Baggins on his first big adventure to the lonely mountain to overthrow Smaug the golden?
Thorin Oakenshield
Balin
Dwalin
Dori
Nori
Oin
Gloin (Gimli's Father)
Fili
Kili
Bifur
Bofur
Bombur
Or am I just going a little bit over the top with the details here?
They do seem to be less of the mentioned in convo's about LOTR. They'll hopefully be wider know when/if "The Hobbit" comes out in the cinema.
