Song of Durin | Performed by John Rhys-Davies

The Song of Durin, performed by John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) with musical accompaniment composed by @ClamaviDeProfundis and performed by @Cellofrag. On a recent livestream with @NerdoftheRings to promote the new Return to Moria game where he returns to voice Gimli, John Rhys-Davies was kind enough to recite the Song of Durin. This poem was sung by Gimli as the fellowship traveled through Moria. It recalls the splendour of Khazad-dûm and the dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf in its prime.
