Friendly reminder that Dwalin was 21 when the War of the Orcs and the Dwarves started, and 27 during the Battle of Azanulbizar. That’s mostly likely not even close to mature or adult among Dwarves, and that Gimli was twice as old while he was ‘too young’ to join the quest for Erebor. Reminder that he saw many members of his family die there, and that those family members were most likely burned, not buried in stone. His father among them. never look at book and movie canon, or anything of the sort. So basically he, and nearly everyone else of the Dwarves we know survived that, were child soldiers, if you want to see it like that, or perhaps squires to their fathers and uncles and had to fight there (✿ಥ﹏ಥ)
