The House of Dwarves descended from Bavór the Cold, the Stonefoots awoke and made their mansions in the Orocarni. In the early Second Age under Bavór II, North-king, they joined the Blacklocks under Thrár II in settling the vale of Rûrîk on the eastern shores of Middle-Earth. Together they forged the greatest realm of the Dwarves outside of Khazad-dum itself, and the greater portion of both peoples came to dwell therein.
However, this interwoven nature would be at once their greatest strength and weakness in the Succession of Rurik, and the greater Stonefoots and Blacklocks houses became estranged, further enflamed by the manipulations of Sauron.
The Stonefoots were also known as the 'Jewel-Dwarves', for the Stonefoots were known to be carvers of incredible skill, and were exceptionally skilled in the working of jewels. They were also, oddly, known to be prolific artists in the mannish sense.
