Well I'll be... wasn't expecting to recieve a wiki notification ever again.

Well, nice to see you're all still enjoying yourselves. I might just out in a post's worth of input and be on my way again

In terms of dwarves with ships, well I daresay one or two dwarves might have hopped aboard Numenorean ships or airships at one point or another but I doubt a large scale dwarven migration would ever occur. Tolkien effectively wrote a history for all of Dwarves from their creation to the early years of the fourth age. With the possible exception of some petty dwarves no dwarven people seem to have had use for sailing at all.

On the other hand the Darklands could have been the ancient source of some of the hobbit's more exotic myths (dumblebdores, mewlips and fasticalons) or one could easily populate these lands with some of Tolkien's discarded ideas. The Kaukareldar- as relayed in the Book of Lost Tales: decievers and spies created by Morgoth (presumably by corrupting elves but in a slightly different manner) Or perhaps Oarni- supposedly servants of Ossë these similarly forgotten creations of Tolkien occupy a similar position to merfolk in other fictions. Perhaps an Oarni kingdom under the sea could provide some much needed entertainment whilst travelling to the Darklands in game.
