KHAZAD-DÛM

Deep in the darkness of Khazad-dûm, beneath the Misty Mountains, an ancient demon of the Elder Days lurked in shadow. This fearsome Balrog, a fire-spirit of Morgoth's armies, brought doom to the greatest Dwarven kingdom of Middle-earth, slaying King Durin VI and driving the Dwarves from their ancestral halls of Moria. For a thousand years, it ruled the blackness beneath the mountains, until its fateful confrontation with Gandalf the Grey upon the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

A treasure beyond measure, this legendary Dwarf-forged mail shirt of pure silver-steel from the mines of Khazad-dûm protected both a burglar and a Ring-bearer. Worth more than the entire Shire, this princely gift from a dying king became one of the most valuable artifacts to pass from under the Lonely Mountain into the hands of Hobbits.
