Moria (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien, Moria (also known as Khazad-dûm, The Black Chasm, The Black Pit, Dwarrowdelf, Hadhodrond, and Phurunargian) was a name given to an enormous underground city in the Misty Mountains of Middle-earth. He was slain by the orc Azog, an infamous murder that precipitated The War of the Dwarves and Orcs which culminated in a very bloody battle outside Moria's eastern gates nine years later. When they were stopped by snow on Mt. Caradhras, the Fellowship reluctantly agreed to journey through Moria to continue the Quest of the Ring. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Moria_(Middle-earth)   (826 words)

The term "Middle-earth" is often misspelled as "Middle-Earth" or "Middle Earth". Thus the three Silmarils ended in the sky with Eärendil, in the earth, and in the sea respectively. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Middle-earth   (5891 words)

Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library - History of Moria in the 3rd Age n the middle of Third Age Khazâd-dûm (known as Dwarrowdelf among the Men and as Hadhodrond or Moria among the Elves), the ancient settlement of Durin's folk (the Longbeards) in the Mountains, was the only of the great dwarven cities still inhabited and prospering. At any rate, Moria was ones of the largest, or perhaps the largest orcish stronghold in Misty Mountains, from which the Orcs could make raids into Eriador (even going as far as the Shire), and encumber the traffic though Misty Mountains. The records are contradictory as to when Moria was inhabited by the Orcs (Unfinished Tales suggest that it happened immediately after appearance of Balrog, while the Tale of Years gives the date 2480, III). www.lotrlibrary.com /agesofarda/dangerinmoria.asp   (735 words)

Creatures of Middle-Earth The Dwarves that reentered Moria near the end of the Third Age had dug deep, perhaps more deeply than had any mortal creature before, and uncovered this menace from its self-induced coma in hiding in the roots of Moria.

The Astronomy of Middle At this point Arda (by definition primarily the earth but also including the entire solar system) was temporarily lit with the light of two Great Lamps, one set in the north of Middle-earth, and the other in the south. Since Venus, as an inferior planet in an orbit inside earth's, can never be more that approximately 45 degrees to the east or west of the sun's position in the sky, it can never appear nearly opposite the sun in the sky, as is described here. This continued to bother Tolkien, along with the deeper issues of a flat earth (as it was before the destruction of Númenor) and the problems of creating the sun and moon in any realistic manner. www.physics.ccsu.edu /Larsen/astronomy_of_middle.htm   (6230 words)

VN Boards - Some questions about Middle Earth Most of the most powerful magic in the world of Middle Earth was accomplished through song & items: Luthien destroyed Sauron's fortress with a song, the Valar coaxed the sun & moon from the two trees with song, the world was created (or at least designed) through song. Magic in Middle Earth was never the flashy spell-slinging gamers have come to expect. Gandalf with his fireworks & smoke rings was the flashiest of the wizards, but his strongest magic was much subtler, inspiring hope & action in the leaders & pivotal characters of Middle Earth. vnboards.ign.com /message.asp?topic=62626826   (2401 words)

Marked most of all Mordor by the dread of Sauron, Gorgoroth was home only to his armies which were stationed there: where there were living things, even they seemed to reflect the hatred of the land's master- flies and thorny bushes in a barren and dry land. His dark tower itself, Barad-Dûr, was located just east of Mount Doom, on an arm of the Ered Lithui extending southward into Mordor. www.barrowdowns.com   (1043 words)
