6. The Creation of the Dwarves
If the Elves and Men are the Children of Iluvatar, then where do the Dwarves come from? And when? What if I told you that the answer is not actually that simple and kind of surprising.

Customer Reviews
Tolkien would approve!
This is best podcast ever! Robots does an excellent job making sense of The Silmarillion and now The Unfinished Tales. I love how robots possess questions for the listeners, and references to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books showings the listeners the connections. This podcast is a relaxing, fun and engaging. Amust for any Lotr fans! Keep up the great work Tom!
Excellent Lore Podcast
Robots is truly a master of the meaning behind Tolkien’s masterpieces and has studied not just a biased view Tolkien’s background but a truly well rounded view of every side of the story. This is extremely refreshing and I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to know the deeper meanings behind Tolkien’s work in a podcast that is not too hard to understand if you just put a little bit of effort into it!!! Keep on keeping on Tom!!!
Makes Middle Earth a Reality
Just… fantastic! Thank you so much for your contributions to keeping and expanding and making accessible the Lore of Tolkien. And I LOVE that you are making slight mentions of the philosophical and theological underpinnings of the Lore. KEEP IT UP!
