Durin the Deathless is the first of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, the first of all Dwarves. This video will examine his history, why he is called the Deathless, the nature of his return to Middle-earth, and why the mythology surrounding the beliefs of the Dwarves is arguably more fascinating than whether their beliefs are 'true'.
