Brewing beer in an eggshell is also a good way of tricking changelings to reveal themselves.

German dwarves were surprisingly quick in adopting New World food items such as potatoes.

If you dig too deeply, you might reach the realms of the dwarves.

Which... probably is something you want to avoid.

More marriages between humans and supernatural beings would work out if the partners were just willing to talk about their differences.

The dwarf king Hibich was able to roam the surface near the town of Bad Grund - until Imperial forces put an end to this during the Thirty Years' War.

Just like humans, giants can suffer from the frailties of old age.

Perhaps they even suffer more than most.

On the whole, I recommend against making a business deal with dwarves.

Their omertà code can be a killer.

A count of Oldenburg once stole a marvelous drinking horn from a queen of the dwarves.

When his line died out, it was taken by the Danish crown in turn.

Astronomers have discovered a hidden galaxy behind one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. The galaxy, called NGC 253-dw2, is a dwarf galaxy that is only visible when the light from the larger galaxy, NGC 253, is blocked by dust. This finding reveals the complex structure and history of our galactic neighbourhood. https://www.livescience.com/space #galaxy #dwarf #hidden

Goblin Vs. Dwarf.

Diorama build from scratch and using 2 figures from #mithrilminiatures

Thorin Oakenshield faces the Goblin king across a small bridge, lit only by a pair of torches.

An exercise in OSL, not something I do often, but this one turned out quite fun.

#LotR #Hobbit #Dwarf #GoblinKing #Diorama #Scratchbuilt

View of the diorama from Thorin Oakenshield's perspective, with the near end in focus and with the far end in focus.
Side view of a diorama. The goblin king can be seen, lit by a torch.
Top view of a diorama. The shadows cast by the torches can be easily seen from this angle.
