Without the sun of my life
Honestly I just think of Eru as the author. In universe their abilities and intervention in the story are almost the same.

And thus the first kingdom of Dwarves and Orcs was born.

Makes sense because both were created in disobedience to Eru.

So we are best at... talking to people. Sauron is both confused and jealous I bet.
Huh.
So we're effectively going to play a superpowered Ex?-Balrog Diplomancer who moonlights as Beatstick when necessary and also dabbles (relatively speaking) in other aspects of statecraft?
...
I'm ok with this.
Also question: how are you roughly rating/interpreting our statnumbers IC?

Your kingdom is not great but from humble beginnings can arise the mightiest empires. Still it is unprecedented in all of Arda's history. The first time where the Children of Melkor and the Children of Eru abide in peace with each other. Even if that fails, you know full well you have won a great victory as the Dwarves not only accepted your offer but abided by it, not without some grumbling but with all the good will they could muster. They have reclaimed the rich mansions of Khazad-dûm where their fathers ruled until you awakened and intend to keep it.
As they are not enough, not enough by far to take all the mines for themselves, they are content to occupy the higher levels and some rooms of historical or symbolic importance. They are still more numerous than the Orcs who were devastated by the battle and are reduced to some villages in the depths near what you called your home. You judge yourself lucky for the low number of Dwarves. Knowing their familial habits, you reckon they would take centuries to have the population necessary to fill the ancient city. More than enough to you to accomplish whatever projects you have.
Actually what do you want exactly? You promised Nienna you'll bring the Orcs back from the darkness you helped to plunge them so long ago. How to attain such a goal now your charges are secure. A choice lies upon you to take them and leave for some climes to raise them in seclusion and teach them at your leisure, or to try to cohabit with the Dwarves who have pledged to support your experience.
