'''Returned to Stone''' is a concept from [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s [[The Silmarillion]], referring to what [[elves]] thought happened to [[dwarves]] after death.<ref name="quenta">"Aforetime it was held among the Elves in Middle-Earth that dying the Dwarves returned to the earth and the stone of which they were made; yet that is not their own belief." ''Quenta Silmarillion'', chapter 2, "Of Aulë and Yavanna".</ref> Originally, its use in fanworks was almost always as a poetic device to refer to the death of a dwarf, especially [[Thorin Oakenshield]] and/or his nephews [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]]. It is also sometimes used in contrast to what happened at the battle of [[Azanulbizar]], where the dwarven dead had to be burned instead.
