ord of the Dwarves of Belegost in the First Age. Azaghal ruled the city of Belegost in the Blue Mountains on the eastern border of Beleriand. The Dwarves of Belegost and the neighboring city of Nogrod were craftsmen of great renown.
Around the year 260 of the First Age, Azaghal received the Dragon-helm from Telchar, a smith of Nogrod. The Dragon-helm was made shortly after the first appearance of the fire-breathing Dragon Glaurung. The visor on the Dragon-helm shielded the wearer from the Dragon's fire and enthralling gaze.

Azaghal was waylaid by Orcs while traveling along the Dwarf-road in East Beleriand. His life was saved by Maedhros, an Elf who was one of the sons of Feanor. Azaghal gave Maedhros the Dragon-helm in gratitude.

    How Does Bilbo Baggins Trust The Dwarves

    The dwarves have to trust Gandalf’s decisions. Bilbo Baggins doesn't look much like a burglar, so I understand why the dwarves doubted Gandalf's words on him.

The dwarves have to trust Gandalf’s judgement about Bilbo so the quest will go smoothly. Of course, Gandalf was correct in his judgement, Bilbo was an essential part of the endeavor.…
