moria

So, this might be a not so difficult issue to resolve but I have been thinking on how the Dwarves of Moria delved so much into the earth that they ended up disturbing a Balrog. Many questions arise: Was Angband deeper than Moria? How did the Balrog got there? How long was it there? Did it...

Gandalf, recounting his fight with the Balrog, talks about tunnels dug up by unnamed creatures that neither him nor Sauron know about. The second time I read the LOTR books (recently, with more attention) this passage legitemely sent a chill down my spine. So I wonder, does tolkien talk about...

Was it possible for the Balrog (Durin's Bane) to leave Moria?

After the snake lake monster destroyed the Mellon Gate, Gandalf said that there was only one way out, on the other side. However, Gandalf had destroyed that bridge in the Balrog fight. So how did Gollum get out?

Aragorn said he'd been in Moria once but that the memory was very evil. However, what he said when Gandalf stubborn insisted on going as the only way that could them to finish the quest in time, was that he feared that Gandalf would be most in peril if he went through Moria. While we know...

I'd never caught the possible hint at what Gloin was implying in "The Council of Elrond", but now I think I may get the meaning. Gloin: It is now many years ago that a shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. Words began to be whispered in...

The thing seems to have fled there around the time of the War of Wrath and gone into slumber until woken by Durin. However, that would mean he stayed there for the entire second age and most of the third. Why didn't the Balrog leave when, as I imagine may have happened, tidings reached...

We know that after the events of The Hobbit, Balin and a company of dwarves took back Moria and most likely it was well known, at least for a time. I'm sure considering that Aragorn hunted all the way south for Gollum, that he must have been aware of it. However, when the Fellowship was...

Well, this is something that aways intrigued me since i first read the novel, what on earth made him cross the black pit?! I mean, Gandalf have crossed before and gave his reasons, but we're left in the dark about Aragorn journey. He was probaly the best ranger of his time but yet no wizard...

In the book, the Moria chapters are probably my favorite in the entire book. Among other reasons, it's nice to see the whole Fellowship together in action and, as a consequence, it's sad to have to see them break up. This is also one sequence that didn't really need to be changed much at all...

In the book or movie (maybe both, I don't remember), when Gandalf escapes Saruman on the back of an eagle, it's said that he became 'as light as a feather'. This is probably because he faded his physical form and went nearly into pure spirit to help the eagle carry him. But why didn't he do this...

Pippin threw a stone into a hole, and it alerted the orcs down there. If he hadn't done that, Orcs wouldn't have come. .. No balrog attack. .... Gandalf wouldn't have died.

When do you think moria was taken over?Could it have been happening at the end of the hobbit?

Suppose that they HAD gotten successfully through the Redhorn Gate and gone to Lorien. This would mean that neither Gandalf nor the Balrog would have died. Would Gandalf the Grey have been able to fight off Saruman as well as the Witch King? Also, would the Balrog's survival have...

Hallo, excuse me, please, my bad English, i am from Czech republic. I have one question: Movies The Fellowship of the Ring (extended version, in time 01:59, at Dwarf Gate): When Gandalf say"What quite simple! If you are a friend, you speak the password..." and after? Can someone tell me what...

Where did gollum get in i foubt he entered with the fellowship not really a chance to before the door was destroyed

Khazad-dûm is supposed to be the Dwarves' ancestral home, founded by Durin himself in the First Age, pretty much the strongest kingdom they have. Back in the First Age elves were able to match Balrogs, one-to-one in several cases. Dwarves might not be that strong, but still, one Balrog? It...
