'It is up to you and your friends now. You must rally my people and coordinate the defence of Moria. We have prepared for war at three key locations: the Way of Smiths, the Deep-way, and the Twenty-first Hall; if these locations fall, we are lost.

'The defence of the Way of Smiths is in the hands of Stóthkell. He speaks highly of you, and will do as you command.

'Brogur must fight for the protection of the Deep-way. Tell him I am counting on his strength, and he will stand as long as it takes to fight back the Orc-hordes.


'Wíli will oversee the barricades at the Twenty-first Hall; he fought bravely as part of the diversionary force during my son's assault on Stazgnâkh, and... I am sorry. Wíli will do fine.

'Gather your friends and speak to these dwarves, Bludless. Our survival is in your hands and the hands of your allies.'
