I'm trying to create a DnD campaign where I have a place inspired by Khâzad-dum, where dwarves were driven out by a demon. I want it named "Golden hall" in Khûzdul, for its official name, but called "dark cavern" in elvish after its overthrow. Does anyone know how to translate them? Or where to go to get them translated?

There should be a dictionary, I believe I have seen one. I'll try and look it up.
If you have seen Colm Mcguiness, he sing the movie version of "Misty mountains" In Neo-Khuzdul. We know that "Dum" is hall/mansion, and according to that video, gold is either "Sigin" or "Manthr"
There are numerals in Tengwar. I have an image of the alphabet, if the stupid thing would only upload...
Ainur are divided into two groups: Valar and Maiar. The Valar are the more powerful, and there are less of them, and they each have certain offices. For example, Manwe is King of the Valar, and Aule is Valar of forging/metalworking. He is also the creator of he dwarves. They resemble the Greek and Roman gods in many ways.
As for the Maiar, they are more numerous, and less powerful. They do have magic power however, such as the Istari, or wizards as they are commonly known. Not all of them are named. Well-known Maiar include Gandalf, Radagast, Saruman, and Sauron. The balrogs are Maiar that have been corrupted by evil. Morgoth was the first dark lord, and was essentially an evil Valar.
Free translation sights? Could you please direct me to one? And yes it was sindarin I wanted the elvish translation for, like all the other elvish place names.
Tolkien didn't want it to be too depressing so that's probably why he didn't do the dark side.
BRUH- THIS IS SICK!
23/25 I missed one.
My information comes from a YouTube channel called History of the Ages. The video was "What happened at the battle of Dale"
Here is a link: What Happened at the BATTLE OF DALE? Last Stand of the DWARVES | Middle Earth Lore - YouTube
Dain II Ironfoot becomes king, then a messenger from Mordor* arrives, and says Sauron will give them back at least three of the dwarven rings. Everyone but Dain in the throne room takes a step back. Dain says: "I answer neither yea nor nay, for I will need time to think" or something like that anyway. The messenger leaves, and Dain prepares the dwarves and the men of Dale (under King Brand) for war. When Sauron learns that Dain has rejected his terms, he sends a large army of Easterlings to the lonely mountain. A fierce battle ensued outside the gate of Erebor. Brand was slain, and Dain stood over the body of his ally and defended it until he himself was slain. Upon Dain's death, the dwarves and men retreated into Erebor. And there they waited. For many days they waited. And then tidings of the fall of Sauron reached them. Seeing there enemies morale reduced, the dwarves and men charged out, and were victorious. Because of the death of the two kings, Brands son Bard II succeeded him, and as for the dwarves, Dain's son Thorin III Stonehelm became king under the mountain.
Hope this was helpful,
Yours sincerely

A physical thing you can touch and see I think is dwarven e.g. dwarven sword, dwarven kingdom, and something that you cannot touch or see is dwarvish, e.g. dwarvish language.
Isn't what dwarven?
Not natural powers like elves and Mair, but you know when Thorin says, "Balin, can you stow me some flash flame?" and Balin, Dori and Ori start pouring powder into jars? anyone can do them, but its the dwarves that first discovered and used them. (I think because no one else uses them).
But i think they can make spells.
Ya... its just a pity because the dwarves are my favourite. Im actually listening to dwarven music while im writing this.
According to History of the Ages, orcs have the same lifespan of lesser man, like 70-90 years.
Just thinking, why do most people learn elvish but almost no one learns dwarvish?
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
