Half of Mordor, all of the White Mountains, and everything south thereof was split from the main land during the cataclysm. As was most of Rohan and everything west of the Misties.

Glosur's Dwarves were in the White Mountains, yes? So they went with the White Mountains. The Blue Dwarves went with the Blue Mountains. Durin's folk was crushed by a huge influx of men and Orcs trying to get at their riches. The Orocarni Dwarves were luckier because they were less well known. There are almost no Elves, they all sensed the impending disaster and left. There are maybe 5 left, all in the Iron Kingdom, as they control most of what was once Mirkwood.

Also, chain mail is worn by very few. Only high-ranking people and elites in the Iron Kingdom have it, and only the luckiest among the lucky from other nations have it. Just pointing that out. Leather armour is the most common, sometimes studded leather for the more advanced people. Some use scale-mail, but that's not common. Shields are usually wood or hide, or both.
