	War of the Dwarves and Elves - Tolkien Gateway
		The war climaxed in 2799, when a final battle was fought in the valley outside the eastern gates of Moria, the Battle of Nanduhirion.
		After the battle, Thráin II son of Thrór wanted to enter Moria and reclaim it, but the Dwarves not of Durin's folk refused, saying they had honoured Durin's memory by fighting, and this was enough.
		It is probable that without this War and the final slaughter of the Battle of Nanduhirion, the later War of the Ring would have been lost in the north, and the Ring-bearer might never have made it south to Mordor.

	The Last Alliance
		After years of steady skirmishes and minor battles, the Orcs were able to wear down the defences of the dwarven stronghold, in part because the Dwarves had no access to reinforcements from southern Khazad-dûm, and, ironically, the Dwarven forces defending Mt. Gundabad had been cut back in order to bolster the Dwarven army in Khazad-dûm.
		Gundabad was besieged and stormed, and every Orc-keep in the Misty Mountains was cleared when the decisive Battle of Nanduhirion with the remaining Orc-forces took place in TA 2799.
		The events that led to the Battle of the Five Armies at the feet of Erebor are detailed in 'The Hobbit'.
