When news came of the great victories in the South, then Sauron's northern army was filled with dismay; and the besieged came forth and routed them, and the remnant fled into the East and troubled Dale no more.
Seven Dwarfs
They sent their ambassadors to the crowning of King Elessar; and their realms remained ever after, as long as they lasted, in friendship with Gondor; and they were under the crown and protection of the King of the West. We discover that messengers have come also to King Brand in Dale, and that he is afraid. We fear that he may yield. Already war is gathering on his eastern borders. Aside from that, they are not mentioned because Dale and Erebor are not on the way to Mordor and are uninvolved in the Quest.

In the book, Sauron does also send emissaries to Erebor to seek for Bilbo and the Ring. The Lord Sauron the Great, so he said, wished for our friendship. Rings he would give for it, such as he gave of old. And he asked urgently concerning hobbits, of what kind they were, and where they dwelt.
The Lonely Mountain and the dwarfs are mentioned on the Lord of the Rings book but not shown in the movie. Peter Jackson has altered the story quite a bit, but also the movies couldn't be 10 hours long each; he had to cut some stuff out.
The Court Dwarf Served in a Pie to a King
He told the emperor that little people were his subjects rather than slaves and should be treated as such. Wu Di was moved and released the dwarves. Yang Cheng was deified and worshipped by some of their families. Yang Cheng's image was worshipped for centuries. The practice of keeping court dwarfs persisted as well.
Chinese emperors were able to import dwarfs via the Silk Road. This practice persisted at least until the Tang Dynasty. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

While none in the Fellowship were particularly keen on passing thorough Moria, Gimli at least was eager to learn what may have happened to Balin. Unfortunately, while in Moria, Gimli discovered Balin's tomb, as well as evidence that virtually all of the Dwarves who had attempted to retake Moria had been slain years prior. However, there was some tension regarding Gimli's being in the Wood, and his Elven escorts wished to blindfold him for the journey.

Gimli staunchly refused until Aragorn decided that all in the Fellowship should be blindfolded to make the Elven demand more equitable. While in Lorien, he accompanied Legolas on many walks through the wooded city, and the two became fast friends.

When the fellowship departed, he was given a strand of Galadriel's hair, though when he asked for one, he was given three, which would lead to his name in later years of "Lockbearer", given to him by Galadriel. Eventually the three were reunited with Gandalf , and became more involved with the war. Gimli played a critical role in the defeat of the forces of Isengard at Helms Deep , where he was separated from Aragorn and Legolas and driven into the caves which he would later become Lord of.
He fought his way out alongside Eomer when the forces of Isengard were driven from Helm's Deep. His skill with an axe led to his winning, by one orc , the friendly contest he and Legolas held over who could kill the most Orcs, despite starting with a disadvantage.
Gimli then accompanied Aragorn and Legolas through the Dimholt in an attempt to recruit the Army of the Dead. After being victorious at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields , Gimli accompanied Aragorn and the remainder of the Gondor and Rohan armies to the Black gates. After the War, Gimli led a large number of Durin's Folk south to establish a new Dwarf kingdom in the Glittering Caves , which were located behind Helm's Deep where Gimli was trapped during the battle , and he became the first Lord of the Glittering Caves.
The Dwarves of the Glittering Caves, led by their Lord Gimli, would repair much of the physical damage that was incurred during the War of the Ring.
Most notably, they rebuilt the Great Gate of Minas Tirith with a new one made of Mithril and steel , as well as improving upon the existing layout of the entire city. Gimli was years old born in of the Third Age when the Fellowship of the Ring set out from Rivendell , making him 52 years older than Aragorn. His date of death is not known, and according to the Red Book of Westmarch , he is said to have traveled with Legolas into the West, thus becoming the first dwarf to visit the Undying Lands.

Of this possibility, Tolkien wrote that it would be strange indeed, that any Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of the West should permit it, but that it is said that Gimli went not only because of his great friendship with Legolas, but also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and that she, being mighty among the Eldar, may have obtained this grace for him. He was never seen again in Middle-earth. As a Dwarf, Gimli enjoys the great brawn and stamina typical of his race.
