Wow, I really didn't do my homework when I named the dwarf character Dwalin. It would have been nice here to have the king of the secret dwarven kingdom have a name based on the Lord of Moria from Lord of the Rings, except beginning with "Dw-" to fit in with my running joke that all dwarf names start with "Dw-". Unfortunately, that dwarf's name is Balin. And in fact his brother really is named Dwalin.

So instead I based the Lord of the Sikkret Dwarven Kingdom's name on Thorin, the king of Durin's folk and organiser of the original expedition in The Hobbit which kicks off the whole ring shemozzle. Which gives me the name Dworin.

And yes, that works out to one anvil per ten dwarves. I figure that's about the right ratio for dwarves.
