Does Tolkien have any writings about what happened when the dwarves dug too deep, or is that just a side note mentioned to explain why things are found that way? Gandalf had heard some rumors, but wasn’t sure if they were true. That would have been an interesting documentary of first hand “oh shit! RUN!”
The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin’s Bane.’ (Gandalf)
