The Joy of Battle is an aptly named text, written by a great dwarf-champion during the height of Durin's reign in Khazad-dûm. It is no simple treatise on the art of battle, as so many texts are. Rather, it is a philosophical tract that describes the author's outlook upon warfare and battle, and how he came eventually to seek it out as a meditative and even transcendant experience that he was unable to experience in any other setting save the midst of clashing blades and the cries of battle. It is not a text for the faint-hearted or the meek, but it seems oddly lofty and its tone does not reflect the maddened bloodlust that one might have expected given the title.

Alas, the long years have been rough on your copy, and there are a number of pages torn or missing from it. Gimli the Dwarf might have some insight into the missing knowledge of The Joy of Battle, since it was written by one of his forebears in the depths of time.
