Khazaddûm, or Moria, was the greatest dwarf kingdom in the history of Middleearth. Today, we cover it's entire history, from its founding by Durin I, to its reclamation by King Durin VII long after the Return of the King. It's doors were made by the greatest craftsmen of the Second Age the dwarf Narvi and the elf lord Celebrimbor. It would rise to incredible heights until the awakening of the Balrog of Morgoth, Durin's Bane.
