I think that because of that you get to know and like Balin in The Hobbit films (with Ken Stott's portrayal of the wise and lovable dwarf), The finding of his tomb in Moria makes it even sadder and feel for Gimli when he cries at the tomb (as I get that they were close being his dad's cousin).

Balin's ultimate end is such a damn shame. He was one of the few dwarves to have more of a role in the narrative of The Hobbit , the fact that he was the one who truly befriended Bilbo, which of course the movies play up even more.

The opening lines were the saddest lines I read in the whole LOTR. Hard to believe that Dain would ever give permission to Balin and Company to re-enter Moria, but he did so reluctantly, as reported by Gloin at the last and greatest Council of the free races in Middle Earth. Dain must have surely informed Balin of Durin's Bane and Balin under the allure of the rings, foolishly ignored the warning to him and his followers doom. Good one Yoystan, as always. My weekly fix of fantasy.

@valen123456 6 лет назад

The Book version implies that Balin "listened too long to the whispers" about Moria and resolved to go and eventually persuaded Dain to let him. Since Balin was a relative of the royal line (and a lord in his own right) he would have had the claim and authority to do so. I think i prefer the movie depiction of him as a wise and gentle councillor, and in line with this I suspect he volunteered to lead the expedition in order to keep the peace and prevent the real hot-heads who wanted to leave from causing problems that an outright refusal on Dain's part might have caused. In this depiction he would have been just as unwilling to go, but went anyway to keep his people safe. And unfortunately it still did not work and he was the first to fall. Which makes my idea even more tragic really.

After watching The Hobbit movies then after the fellowship it made balins death even more sudden and sad when they realize he's not alive when they go into Moria .

@mystiquemage8814 5 лет назад

great explanations in the video! I've got 2 bones to pick: - why Balin, of all dwarves, would want to go on such foolish quest to claim Moria? seeing he was the wisest of them and not swayed by riches, as portrayed in the hobbit when he tells Thorin that it wasn't necessary to reclaim Erebor. - if the dwarves of Moria had been mining Mithril, how did they not make freaking mithril armor and survive the onslaught?? ok rant over.

@georgiilkov9915 4 года назад

Mitril is a very rare material

@tomaskops7119 4 года назад

First one - Homecoming and maybe some power of lost Dwarwen ring can call tham to claim Moria. Second one - Mining is hard, but much easier than made all necessary equipment to forge it. But only my opinions

@tonyaxis3063 4 года назад

Balin lost his hope when Thorin died and didn't want to dwell in Erebor without him.

@michaellam8899 4 года назад

The only mountain in middle earth that had mithril was Erebor

@SantomPh 4 года назад

Balin heard whispers that Moria was safe to return to (probably spread by Sauron's agents) and was excited to claim it. He had a strong bloc of support so Dain Ironfoot reluctantly let him go. All Dwarves ache to return to Khazad-dûm,even those that had never been there. Dain was wiser to ignore the whispers. Mithril is found very deep in the mines, deeper than Balin and his company had ever gone. It is also very rare, and even rarer when found in large amounts. Frodo's mail-shirt is one of the few mithril items made for the full body, and a very kingly gift from Thorin-implying that even the King didn't have mithril armor. In fact until the end of Return of the King, the only known mithril apart from Frodo's coat is the mithril helmets of the Tower and Fountain Guards, as well as mithril woven into Aragorn's flag.

God! This epilogue is, for the most part, a happy one (except for Balin's end. That Dwarf, above all the rest, did not deserve the ending he got). It just makes me want to cry listening to how all the Dwarves finished their lives long after the Battle of Five Armies depicted in the final Hobbit film. Brings tears to my eyes, in fact, because the story of these twelve Dwarves is really the story of your average Military Veteran in real life. Sure, we're all heroes in our own way... but many of us simply... fade to nothingness, and wind up forgotten in history. From that standpoint, I'm sure JRR Tolkien, with personal experience, knew exactly how that emptiness felt. I will watch this video again on Veterans' Day.

In the time Balin and his company held the 21st hall of Moria, they also held (for a short year or two), the 1st hall located at the eastern edge facing Lothlorien which included the region where the still intact bridge of khazad dum was. If Balin might have had more time more dwarves may have come to support him. This is speculation on my part of course but it is safe to assume given more time Moria could have been filled with dwarven soldiers. Eventually they would have been faced with the balroq themselves and likely had to abandon the quest anyway.

@SantomPh 5 лет назад

The Dwarves were mostly skeptical about Balin's recolonization and likely did not want to join him there. Dain himself warned Thror that another power other than the Dwarves would have to free Khazad-dum. Gimli says the messages came and went from Moria for a while but after they stopped no Dwarf wanted to investigate.

Yep. If Balin and his group had just waited, they could have reclaimed Moiria after the War of the ring cause the Balrog was destroyed by Gandalf and the only ones left were those pesky orcs.

I'm glad that you made this... but that doesn't mean that I'm not sad now. RIP Balin

Bluefax is doing " the quest of Erebor " . If you haven't heard he has done the most excellent reading of the hobbit, it's magnificent and must be listened to Search BLUEFAX for Tolkien as it should be heard

Bombur giving moral support? nah, they'd probably use him like a giant boulder to crush swathes of enemies with

Very well made video man! I really enjoyed all the video I've seen so far. Just as much as the movies.

I know it's not that big a deal, but it's my 'curse' to notice things like this ... on the map at 3:00 (not sure where the map comes from, although it does look a lot like one I bought from a bookstore in my college town years ago) - to the right of the red circle, Dimrill Dale is misspelled as Drimrill Dale. Like I said, no big deal, but I can never not say anything about stuff like that. It doesn't detract though from your video, which is very interesting, I must say - and since odds are you didn't make the map, I shouldn't really care anyway. Thumbs up for the video and its excellent content!

Do you mean he deserved his fate there? Or that he deserved to reclaim it successfully?

@gobigblue6782 6 лет назад

Great video. I didn't know Balin was in Moria for 5 years err he fell. I cried at the death of Thorin in the hobbit. Also, never read about the age of Gandalf. You out did yourself once again. Can't wait until next video.

Gandalf is Maia so he is probably old as the whole wolrd.
