Elrond and Durin IV, forever and ever
In season one, Elrond (Robert Aramayo) returns to visit his old friend Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur) in Khazad-dum, requesting that the dwarf help him mine mithril, which the dwarves have discovered in their kingdom. The powerful material is needed by the elves, but the dwarves stopped mining it because of how dangerous it was. It took nearly an entire season of convincing, but Elrond managed to get Durin to help him get some mithril—however, just as they’re about to start mining again, Durin’s father (the king) stops them. He strips Durin of his title and banishes Elrond from Khazad-dum.
