Meet the great dwarf smith Narvi, who will be played by Kevin Eldon.

But the elves werent the only people of that fantasy continent to get rings of power.

The rings certainly have an effect on the king, and therefore the entire kingdom, really.

We see the positives of the rings, but Durin certainly also feels the negative aspects of them.

Hes only mentioned in Tolkiens appendices, and hes described as a great craftsman.

As well as being this fantastic architect, we see in season 2 that hes an adviser as well.

Hes a right-hand man of King Durin.

And King Durin III needs friends.

At the end of season 1, the dwarven royals were at each others throats.

After a blow-up fight, King Durin (Peter Mullan) disowned his son.

So where does that leave the dwarven prince when we next see him?

Not in a good place, to say the least.Hes on his knees, Arthur says.

Everything hes known in his life has now been stripped away from him.

The only thing that stays constant is his wife and his kids.

So we certainly see Durin on the backfoot.

I dont think he can get any worse than when we see him at the beginning of season 2.

But a king can only expect his orders to be obeyed if they make sense.

These rings are getting under his skin; hes becoming less logical and showing signs of madness.

He gets to a point where he has to leap one way or the other.

Im not going to tell you what he chooses, but its certainly a dilemma for him.
