The OP clearly states that armies really only use roads and there is no purpose in veering off of them even cutting off a few miles for a journey. I am sure heroes are not bound to this rule or the things that try and stop them, nor are some creative movements and the orders that stop such movements, nevertheless, we should just assume that an army is crossing a road at all times.
From this mock map I've created, from the original map, these are the only two routes out of the Dwarvish realm into the realms of men. The north crosses into Harlond, and north of it is Mithlond, it also crosses back into the other route, which has an elven army station over the border crossing.
So it is without doubt that if the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains wish to make any military movement, they must engage in cordial relations. They may be their own realm but greatly reduced they are, and just as well if they wish to use Lindon roads, they can at least contact their administrator or they are welcome to build their own.
Yeah, my excuse is my guy is supposed to be wrathful, and hates orcs/hill men. If I got my second or third choices (dwarves) I would probably just chill under mountains. For a while.
King Dain is so close to not caring and rolling his eyeballs at his kinsman's "over-reaction" that it isn't funny. Honestly, the only thing that would actually make him sit up is if Rivendell collapsed since history in LOTR is a litany of human realms rising and falling.
Rivendell besieged would actually get Khazad-Dum's attention. It turns what is a "silly human civil war" into something very different. No human claimant to a throne would attack an Elven realm unless something strange is going on (why waste civil war troops on a non-claimant?). Granted, Rivendell and Khazad-Dum don't really have much in the way of relations at this time though.
I mean, some upstart Noldor could claim to be High King of the Noldor but it'd be universally ridiculed and mocked what with no descendants of Feanor remaining in Middle Earth except a certain mournful bard who may or may not still be alive.
If you pay me, you won't see my wrath anytime soon. :lol
I don't really know LOTR lore that much, give me five minutes and I can edit the letter.

Edit done. Thanks for the lore heads-up.
I mean there's plenty you could do.
Who are you playing as? Cardolan right? If so, your kingdom is on the verge of collapse.
As Skrev is fine with it, you can take over as Prince Ruthron.
Thank you, the OP tells me what I have, yes?
Correct, your troops (minus the one under Tharbad's control) are show on the map and the writeup and gives you a look at your situation.
You can make armoured wagons, yes.
