I'm so thrilled that I'm (hope hope) going to get to meet you in person! What a treat! :D

No kidding! I already feel like I really know you, but seeing someone face-to-face really makes the puzzle pieces fall into place, doesn't it?

The Celebrimbor bio should be of interest to you. Unfortunately, I won't be filling in a lot of detail on the Dwarves (having to do the reading though, so we can talk more about that!)--more generalizations about the similarities between the Dwarves and the Noldor.
