Before the First Age, the father of the dwarves, named Durin, woke by a lake in the Misty Mountains. This lake, called Mirrormere or Kheled-zaram, was later a revered place among dwarves. Nearby, Durin first began his city, which was called Khazad-dum by the dwarves and also Dwarrowdelf by men and Hadhodrond by elves. Afterwards, other rulers of Khazad-dum were sometimes named Durin, who the dwarves believed came to live again among his people. |

In the Second Age, the Dwarves of Khazad-dum forged a friendship with the Noldorian elf realm of Eregion - but this friendship ended in disaster with the forging of the Rings of Power, the rise of Sauron? wielding the One Ring, and the destruction of the elven realm. Then Khazad-dum was closed, and Sauron could not enter it. |
