| ==History==
| |
| | |
| After the [[Dwarves]] had been driven out by [[Durin's Bane]] in [[Third Age 1981|1981]] of the [[Third Age]], it was not used for hundreds of years, until the colony of Dwarves by [[Balin]], arrived in [[Third Age 2989|2989]], which secured the gate from the [[Goblins]] that lurked in Moria. Unknown to the Dwarves, a creature called the [[Watcher in the Water]] lurked in the lake in front of the gate. It killed [[Óin son of Gróin|Óin]], who was one of the thirteen Dwarves who went on the [[Quest of Erebor]]. After five years the Dwarf colony was destoyed, and was not used for fifty years when [[Fellowship of the Ring]] used it to get to the East side of the [[Misty Mountains]].
