At the height of Durin’s power in Khazad-dûm, the Halls of Crafting were the home of the greatest dwarf-craftsmen in the history of Durin’s Folk. While not as powerful as the Heart of Fire, where mithril was refined and forged, it was the most prolific of the dwarf-forges of Khazad-dûm. When Khazad-dûm fell to the onslaught of the Balrog, Orcs swarmed the Halls, and they were lost forever.

Now, the Orcs of Mazog have rekindled the ancient forges to produce arms and armour for their hordes as they muster to repel the return of Durin’s Folk and mount an attack upon the Elves of Lothlórien. Only the Halls of Crafting contain the facilities necessary to outfit the legions of Moria.
