| The Battle of Nanduhirion, also called the '''Battle of Azanulbizar''' after the [[Khuzdul]] name, was fought in the year 2799 of the [[Third Age]] at the eastern gate of [[Moria]] between the [[Dwarves]] of all houses, and the [[Orcs]] of the [[Misty Mountains]].
| |
| | |
| It was the greatest battle of the War of Dwarves and Orcs, and was a decisive victory for the Dwarves. However, the battle had claimed the lives of many; including [[Frerin]] the second son of [[Thráin II]], and the younger brother of [[Thorin Oakenshield]]. His kinsman [[Fundin]] also fell. Náin son of [[Grór]] was slain in a fight with Azog the [[goblins|Goblin]] right outside the East Gate. [[Azog]] was then slain by Náin's son [[Dáin II Ironfoot]].

| | |
| Thráin II, heir of [[Durin I]], wished to enter and reclaim Moria after the War. However, the Dwarves of [[Durin's folk]] were too few and the Dwarves of other six houses refused to get involved with [[Durin's Bane]].
