Part 2/8:
To understand the conflict involving dark dwarves, we must first contextualize it within the broader narrative of Middle-earth. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men took place during the prologue of "The Lord of the Rings," where Sauron was ultimately defeated, resulting in the severance of the One Ring from his finger. This war was not merely a battle between the forces of good and evil; it depicted a world divided among various factions, including some dwarves who allied with Sauron.
