Battle of Khazad-dûm
In SA 40 after the fall of Beleriand in the War of Wrath and the Dwarves of Nogrod had left Middle-earth, the city was enriched in numbers, smithing, crafting, and masonry. These factors ever strengthened Khazad-dûm and brought prosperity to their city.
With the fall of Beleriand in the north, the Ñoldor looked for a new land to call home. They founded the land west of Moria, Eregion. A rare friendship sprang up between the Elves and the Dwarves of this new land, and they each aided each other in constructing the magical Western-gate of Moria, and went so far that they even presented King Durin lll with a lesser Ring of Power. The bond between Khazad-dûm and Eregion suddenly came to end as, in SA 1697, the Dark Lord Sauron corrupted the country of the elves, and despite the best efforts of the Dwarves to help them, he succeeded in destroying the fair land driving away all the elves. At this time the Doors of Durin were flung shut and sealed against Sauron's forces, and Khazad-dûm began a long seclusion from the outside world. It was at this time that the Orcs invaded Mount Gundabad, taking it from the Kingdom of Durin for themselves.
Their seclusion was broken for a time at the beginning of the War of the Last Alliance. Led by Durin IV, the Dwarves fought alongside the Elves and Men in their campaign to defeat Sauron for the last time. Winning the battle, the Dwarves returned to their long seclusion from the world inside Moria.
Throughout the beginning of the Third Age, the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm expanded its treasure, but its numbers began to dwindle. The majority of their wealth was based on their hoards of Mithril of which they mined in their deepest tunnels, and as the centuries went by the Dwarves delved ever deeper for the precious metal.
In TA 1980, King Durin VI had reports that the miners had opened up a new cavern system in the caverns below....Strange noises and drums were heard in the deep,scouting parties are sent to the deep,but none return...Several weeks later when receiving a trade delegation from the elves and men...2 massive armies of orcs and goblins moved to besiege the great dwarven fortress blocking both exits .....The dwarves readied there defences and called for more troops from the outer caverns and asked for aid from the elfven & men delegations...but still the goblins and orcs did not attack.....when suddenly there was the sound of drums from the deep, and some of the orc armies started to move....
