Text of the page (random words):
with remarkable continuity and there is a clear tendency to remain as close as possible to the direct line of descent from the founding ancestor in the case of the longbeards this is the line of durin himself a lineage so central to their identity that it is remembered preserved and reaffirmed across generations this suggests a system comparable to what is known in human terms as agnatic or semi agnatic succession in which inheritance follows the male line but may extend across branches when the direct line fails such a system ensures both continuity and stability preventing fragmentation of kingship while maintaining its grounding in ancestry it also explains why despite the existence of multiple realms and centres of power there is never more than one true king within a clan kingship cannot be divided because it is not tied to territory but to a single continuous line and title iii multiple realms within one clan the political structure of the dwarves becomes clearer when examining how their realms develop over time the history of erebor when placed in its proper context provides a key example tolkien makes clear that the lonely mountain was not an ancient or continuous dwarven political centre but a location that rose in importance over time thráin i a fugitive from moria is said to have come upon erebor and established a realm there for a while this marks the first clear attestation of erebor as a royal seat rather than its first possible use by the dwarves it is not unreasonable to assume that the mountain may have been known and perhaps even used on a smaller scale in earlier ages erebor lies along the natural route between khazad dûm and the iron hills and would have been a prominent landmark visible from afar its position combined with the presence of fresh water and access to nearby peoples for trade would have made it a logical point of passage provisioning or temporary occupation such use however should not be confused with the establishment of a realm the account of thráin i describes not a return to an existing centre but the elevation of erebor into one that early settlement was not permanent and the longbeards later abandoned the mountain moving further north before returning after the defeat in the war of dwarves and dragons in t a 2590 under thrór erebor was re established and elevated into the primary royal seat of the longbeards the account of thráin i discovering the lonely mountain as stated in the history of middle earth should in my opinion not be understood in the absolute sense of first encounter given erebor s position along the route between khazad dûm and the iron hills and its prominence as a landmark visible from afar it is highly unlikely that the dwarves were previously unaware of its existence it would have been passed observed and likely used in some limited capacity for generations rather the term discovered is better understood as marking the moment at which erebor was first recognised and established as a centre of settlement and rule it signifies not the finding of the mountain itself but the decision to make it a dwelling place and for a time a seat of power erebor stands as the primary royal seat yet it does not exist in isolation at the same time the iron hills function as a major dwarven realm inhabited developed and capable of fielding substantial forces of their own these are not rival kingdoms instead tolkien s terminology reveals a clear hierarchy the ruler of erebor is styled king under the mountain while the ruler of the iron hills is styled lord of the iron hills even where both are described geographically as kingdoms this distinction in title is consistent and meaningful it indicates that the king of erebor stands above the lord of the iron hills what emerges is not a system of competing sovereignties but one in which multiple centres of power coexist within a single lineage erebor functions as the central authority of the longbeards while other realms operate beneath it retaining their own leadership but not independent kingship a brief linguistic note reinforces this distinction in neo khuzdul both lord and king are rendered by the same term uzbad meaning one who rules the distinction between them therefore is not carried by the word itself but by the position that ruler holds within the wider structure with this in mind referring to the territories of both as kingdoms is understandable though the term should not be taken to imply equality between them iv persistence of lesser centres this layered structure is not limited to the major realms other dwarven centres persist alongside the primary seat thorin s halls in the blue mountains likely continue to exist after the reclamation of erebor albeit in diminished form and aglarond founded by gimli becomes a recognised dwarven domain yet in all such cases the ruler is styled lord not king this produces a consistent pattern new halls may be founded old halls may decline but endure but none generate new kingships at this point a distinction must be made not all subordinate centres are equal in scale or function realms such as the iron hills with their population resources and military strength may be described as kingdoms in a geographical or practical sense even while remaining subordinate to the king of the clan lesser halls by contrast do not carry the same weight and remain more clearly defined as lordships all however remain tied to the same structure whether great or small they do not form independent lines of kingship but remain subordinate to the single royal line of the clan v local and legal authority lines representation and judgement beyond kingship and the hierarchy of realms the internal structure of dwarven society must be understood at a lower level within the clan itself though tolkien speaks primarily of clans it is evident that each clan would have been composed of numerous lines or families varying greatly in size and influence some would consist of only a handful of dwarves others of many dozens or more with certain lines rising to prominence through craft wealth or reputation while others remained humble and labour bound yet all shared a common foundation among the longbeards every longbeard dwarf was held to descend from durin himself a belief deeply embedded in their history and identity this creates a structural condition unlike that of most human societies however great the disparity in wealth or influence each line participates in the same ancestral framework and cannot be wholly disregarded this does not create equality but it prevents disregard in such a society local authority is unlikely to have rested solely in the hands of appointed lords rather it would have been exercised through the recognised leaders of these lines whether defined by age mastery of craft or established reputation authority in this sense is not granted from above but acknowledged from within a useful structural parallel may be found in the old norse assemblies where leading figures spoke on behalf of their households and kin a similar mechanism is highly plausible among the dwarves matters of law dispute and judgement would not be imposed unilaterally but deliberated collectively with the heads of lines representing their people such gatherings comparable to the old norse ting assembly had as their function to settle disputes determine compensation and uphold the shared traditions of the clan within this framework even where a king grants a dwarf the right to found a hall or govern a domain thereby raising him to the position of lord that authority does not extend to absolute legal control the lord governs and leads but does not solely determine law legal authority remains distributed it is grounded in tradition in inherited custom in oath and in obligation and it is sustained through the collective judgement of those recognised within the clan thus while the king stands at the head of the clan and lords govern its various realms the administration of justice and local governance is likely rooted in the lines themselves expressed through forms of assembly and shared deliberation it is worth noting that this structural idea has perhaps unsurprisingly found its way into modern interpretations of dwarven society within roleplaying communities of the lord of the rings online gatherings known as a dwarrow ting have been organised explicitly inspired by the concept of an ancient assembly in these meetings all dwarves present are given the opportunity to speak and offer counsel regardless of status while such practices are not themselves evidence for tolkien s intent they reflect a natural reading of the material dwarves do not decide matters by rank alone vi military authority training structure and command the military structure of the dwarves is not an isolated institution but an extension of their society shaped by lineage obligation and long standing tradition it is therefore best understood not as a professional army in the mannish sense but as a system in which the capacity for war is embedded within the people themselves it is reasonable to assume that military training formed a structured and deliberate part of dwarven life in halls of sufficient size dedicated training environments whether described as schools or academies would likely have existed to prepare younger dwarves for eventual participation in war this conclusion finds strong support in tolkien s own chronology at the battle of azanulbizar in t a 2799 dáin ironfoot slew azog before the east gate of moria an act recognised as extraordinary not only for its significance but for his age dwarves are not considered physically mature until around the age of forty yet dáin was only thirty two at the time even allowing for the natural strength of his kind such a feat strongly implies prior training and preparation the presence of glóin at the same battle reinforces this conclusion at only sixteen years of age he would still have been far from physical maturity and likely still in training that he was present at all suggests that in times of great need even those not yet fully battle ready could be called upon this in turn indicates that martial training must have begun well before full adulthood likely as soon as a dwarf was no longer considered a child it is important here to avoid direct comparison with men a dwarven youth of sixteen or even thirty two does not correspond to a mannish equivalent but remains within a prolonged period of development a training span roughly between the mid teens and the approach of maturity fits both tolkien s descriptions and the historical cultures that informed his work when war arises the dwarves do not draw upon a narrow warrior class but upon a broadly prepared population those who labour in peace take up arms in war and the distinction between craftsman and soldier becomes secondary this creates a force that is not only numerous but cohesive as those who fight together are often already bound by work kinship or shared training the organisation of such forces further suggests a structured hierarchy beneath the king at the battle of five armies dáin ironfoot is said to have led five hundred dwarves a number that corresponds closely to common military divisions in many historical cultures within a dwarven context such a force would likely be divided into smaller companies each led by experienced figures and composed of groups that retain internal cohesion more on this topic here given the cultural importance of the number seven among the dwarves even these smaller formations may have reflected such structuring principles from this emerges a layered military hierarchy with the king or uzbad at its head supported by recognised leaders at each level alongside fighting units the dwarven host would also include those responsible for provisioning engineering and support reflecting the broader organisational strengths of their culture vii lineage over land a structural comparison at a glance the local and regional structures may resemble feudal europe with a king presiding over subordinate lords and multiple territories however the resemblance is superficial feudal systems are land based and contractual defined through grants and obligations tied to territory the dwarven structure is different it is lineage based inherent rather than granted and persistent regardless of territorial change a closer parallel can be found in the ancient israelite model where kingship is tied to lineage and identity and authority exists over a people rather than merely land the king of the longbeards functions in this sense as the head of a people composed of multiple internal realms this reading is further supported by the movement of the broadbeams and firebeards after the destruction of their blue mountain halls at the end of the first age many are said to have settled in khazad dûm yet the story of the seven rings centuries later indicates that they retained their own kings this suggests that they did not merge into the longbeards but continued as distinct clans within the same physical space khazad dûm may therefore for a time perhaps even millennia have housed multiple kings each ruling his own people yet likely not as complete equals more on that here the longbeard king as lord of khazad dûm itself would have held senior authority while the others remained kings in their own right but in a subordinate position within that shared realm such an arrangement would likely have made matters of rule and law more complex with multiple kings governing their own clans within a single domain authority could not have been exercised in purely territorial terms but would instead have required coordination negotiation and recognition between the ruling lines yet it appears to have functioned nowhere does tolkien suggest that the broadbeams and firebeards withdrew from khazad dûm and later evidence points to continued mingling of the clans among the company of thorin oakenshield several members such as bofur bombur and bifur are said to be of moria yet not of durin s royal line this indicates that dwarves of other origins lived alongside the longbeards for generations retaining their identity without dissolving into it what emerges is a model in which kingship remains tied to lineage not land even when multiple clans occupy the same space their identities and lines of rule persist while hierarchy between them is maintained viii obligation tribute and material flow a further point of comparison with the ancient israelite model discussed earlier lies in the question of obligation between central and subordinate authorities in israelite practice subordinate rulers paid tribute supplied goods and resources and acknowledged the authority of the king through both material and symbolic means a similar mechanism is not explicitly described by tolkien for the dwarves however the internal logic of their society strongly suggests its presence the longbeards are for t...
