| The '''East-gate''' (also known as ''the Great Gate''), was the Eastern entrance to [[Khazad-dûm]], and the [[First Hall]]. It was located in the valley of the [[Dimrill Dale]].

| In the year 2790 King [[Thror]] and his companion [[Nár]], went to [[Moria]] to see the ancient halls of their ancestors. Despite the warnings of Nar, Thror went through the East-gate. He was later captured by the Orc chieftain [[Azog]], who beheaded him. Azog wrote his own name in [[Angerthas Moria|Dwarvish runes]] on Thror's head and threw his it, and his body outside the gate for Nar to retrieve. He let Nar go to tell all the Dwarves that an [[Orc]] ruled Moria now, and so Nar did, which started the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]].

| In the year 2799 the War came to its climax with the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]], which was the largest battle of the war. After the battle [[Dain II Ironfoot]], the victor, would not allow his people to reclaim it, for he had once looked through its doors, and knew that the [[Balrog]] lurked there still.
