Summary: Dwarves like to play with fire

---

Dwarves have understood principles of explosion, combustion, calcination, and all sorts of things having to do with fire and rapid interaction of volatile materials mineral, chemical and aetheric. Fire is one of their most well used and respected tools, and they enjoy playing as well as working with it. Durin's Day is a fire-festival, though among the Dwarves of Erebor and Ered Luin, once of Khazad-Dum, that is a more solemn feast these days than once it was. Maker's Day, heralding in Summer, remains an occasion of fireworks and fire-dancing and all manner of fiery exuberance, squibbing not the least.
