There are no greater craftsmen than the dwarves, and no greater forges than those found in the depths of Khazad-dûm. For ages, the dwarves of Khazad-dûm mined and wrought mithril in their great craft-halls, shaping great works until Durin VI delved too deep and awoke his bane, a Balrog of Morgoth.
For centuries afterward, the forges of Khazad-dûm lay silent, crumbling from disuse. The Orcs and goblins who came to infest the darkened halls knew not the ways of their use, and stole the valuable metalworks of Durin’s Folk. So the forges remain, awaiting the day when dwarves once again kindle their fires – if such a day ever comes.

The forges of Khazad-dûm are a location created by the designers at Turbine for The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moria™, expanding upon a landmark sure to exist in the halls of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Moria.
