Sack of Moria

The Sack of Moria happened in T.A. 1980. The Dwarves delved to deep for the precious metal known as Mithril. They dug deep into the earth and awoke the Balrog Felagrog. Felagrog immediately slew those that stood before him and eventually gathered an army of orcs and trolls from the Misty Mountains. Moria would become a dark and evil place until the coming of Durin VII again.
