It is said that during The Last Alliance, Elves and Men united to fight evil. Although they were the main forces, Tolkien also states that there were beasts, and even dwarves, although their numbers were few. We know that the dead Elves, Men, and Orcs could found in the Dead Marshes, decaying under the water. My question is, what happened to the dwarves? Are they hidden in the marshes? Because of their height, do they decay faster? Did they all survive and go back to their halls? What is the fate of the dwarves! And for that matter, what is the fate of all those not of Elves or Men who participated in The Last Alliance?
