Description: Many Elves and Dwarves were known to be mighty crafters in Tolkien’s world of Middle-earth, but who would we say were the best? Elves created some of the most renowned and powerful things in Arda, yet the Dwarves were known as craftsmen, and were made by the craftsman of the Valar himself. We explore my thoughts on the matter in this video! Thank you so much for watching, let me know your opinion on this topic in the comments below!
