Gandalf II wrote: Thindithron the Great wrote: [...] However, one cannot study the secrets of, say, the Dwarves without being a Dwarf. [...] So what about Eöl ? He is an elf, but learned from the dwarves. If he could do so, why could not a human do the same ? That was long ago, in the First Age. They have become more secretive and less open since then. Even Eöl was only taught some metal-working, not the deeper secrets, and he was an anomaly. You don't see Dwarves teaching their greatest allies, the Men of Dale, in the Third Age.
