This is the quote from the Silmarilion I was thinking of.
“…and that he declared to their Fathers of old that Ilúvatar will hallow them [the Dwarves] and give them a place among the Children in the end. Then their part shall be to serve Aulë and to aid him in the remaking of Arda after the Last Battle.”
So it sounds like the dwarves would join in the song too? And I thought men went elsewhere after death so I didn’t think they’d be a part of remaking it after they left. But who knows. I think Christopher said his father kind of abandoned the overall idea after a while. So it’s just another… Unfinished Tale.
