The life length of Men is perhaps the most complex to interpret. To give a complete picture they have been separated by Age and and into Men of Nmenorean blood including descendants and regular Men. Since the Nmenoreans were blessed with long life their average life length was well beyond years. Their descendants shared the same blessing although the life-length decreased over the years. Life-length distribution by race.
This graph shows the distribution of character ages for Hobbits, Men and Dwarves. It is important to understand the underlying data and the characteristics of each race. There are very few Dwarves with known age at the time of their death and most of the ones that are known died in battle. The longest living Dwarf was Dwalin who lived to become years old, 80 years older than the second oldest Dwarf.
Hobbits lived a very quiet and uneventful life compared to other races and since they had the habit of drawing their family tree their age distribution is fairly narrow. Men show some interesting characteristics suggesting that there are three different mean ages. One for regular men close to 80 years, one for Nmenoreans and their descendants at about years and finally one for the Nmenoreans of royal blood close to years. Elros who lived to become years is not included since he is a Half-elf.

In hobbit communities, birthdays are a cause for massive celebration. There is of course a meal and parties and lots of cake, but there is also a sweet tradition that makes birthdays extra special. For your birthday, instead of receiving gifts, you give them. Stay with me here, because this really is awesome. Instead of getting gifts once a year on your birthday, if you were a hobbit you would get gifts all the time!
That sounds like a good plan to me. If you ever want to make the change to hobbit living the library has all the information you need. I was wondering how long do dwarves live. I know they live over a hundred. BlackCaptain Vast Menace of Despair. Aragorn21 On fire. About as long as men? No, longer than men, even men with Westernese blood.
As I try to come up with a more exact life expectancy for Dwarves , I can't remember any specific passage, but for whatever reason the number keeps coming to mind. I know that they live over a hundred. Mirabella Daughter of Gerontius. Looks like the average life expectancy of dwarves is years. Dwarves average from years of age. But of course there are exceptions to every rule. Dwalin for instance lived to the extaordinary age of Dwarvish Mortality Though they live much longer than Men usually around years , Dwarves are mortal creatures.
What happens after their death, though, is a mystery. The Elves have said that the Dwarves return to the stone from which they were made, but the Dwarves have a different belief. Ithrynluin seeker of solace. From somewhere I remember that was a very respectable age for a Dwarf to reach, and therefore an approximate limit to their life. As always, there are exceptions to the rule. You must log in or register to reply here. Those Dwarves had been exiled from their homes during the Peace of Arda and were the first Dwarves to enter Beleriand.
Durin I enjoyed a very long life and lived through most of the First Age. Occasionally in the following ages, a Dwarf was born of this line so resembled Durin that he was considered to be Durin reborn. Prophecy told that Durin would be reborn seven times, and that the coming of Durin VII would mark the decline of the Dwarves.
Durin II was born in the Second Age. He was gifted with the most powerful of the Dwarven Rings of Power. It was the Elven smith Celebrimbor and not Sauron who gave him the ring. The only apparent effect of the Dwarven rings was that the Dwarves became more greedy with gold lust, but they were not turned into wraiths like men.
Sauron subsequently tried to recover the rings. Two he reclaimed fairly soon and four ended up in dragon hoards. In of the Third Age , after centuries of greedy digging for mithril and other minerals, the Dwarves woke a Balrog that was sleeping in the deeps of the Misty Mountains since the First Age. His son Thorin I later relocated to the Grey Mountains.
For more than years the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains prospered until the dragons in the far North started to gain strength.
There, they prospered for over years until the dragon Smaug descended in TA The King and his company went in exile South, while most of the survivors went to the Iron Hills. Thus began the War of Dwarves and Orcs , in which the Dwarves destroyed all the Goblin strongholds in the Misty Mountains culminating in the great Battle of Azanulbizar.
The Goblin hosts issuing from Moria were strong and relentless until the arrival of fresh Dwarves of the Iron Hills. The Battle ended with the victory for the Dwarves, but at great cost. The Dwarven clans however were unwilling to repopulate Moria as Durin's Bane remained inside.
Thorin gathered around him twelve dwarves , mostly from his own line, and was joined by Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins. The Quest of Erebor ended with the death of Smaug. After a quarrel with the Men and Elves over the unguarded hoard, the Dwarves - assisted by those from the Iron Hills - united with the Men and Elves to fight the attacking Goblins and Wargs, in what was called the Battle of Five Armies , where Thorin was killed.
The Dwarves and Men of Dale stood for three days against the Easterlings, and once the news of Sauron's death spread to the Lonely Mountain the Easterlings retreated. During the Fourth Age , which began after the destruction of Mordor and Sauron, Dwarves and Men re-forged their friendship. During this time, Dwarves from the Lonely Mountain helped rebuild cities in Gondor and the fortress of the Hornburg , and some went to the newly established Dwarven realm of the Glittering Caves where Gimli was lord.
Gimli was thus the only Dwarf to ever be permitted to cross to the Undying Lands. Dwarf-lords raising their rings. Dwarves were a short, stocky race, a little taller than hobbits but much broader and heavier.
Most Dwarves had thick, luxuriant beards in which they took great pride, and often forked or braided them and tucked them into their belts. They seem to have favoured simple durable clothing, coloured hoods and heavy cloaks for travelling, and belts of gold or silver. For battle their soldiers would have elaborately crafted armor and helmets, bearing various angles and styles that were trademarks of Dwarven crafting styles.
Their armor was masked with symbols after the manner of those used in forges for shielding the eyes that were hideous to look upon. Dwarven women were alike in manner, voice and appearance to their menfolk. They were few in number, less than a third of all dwarf-kind, and they were seldom seen outside their own halls, often not venturing far due to their duties as caretakers and crafters in Dwarven society.
