Nov 6, 2017 at 19:26 comment added leftaroundabout “The lake of the lurker at the western gates is almost certainly artificial” — it is artificial, but not dwarfish: “ ‘Indeed things have changed!’ said Gandalf, ‘but there is no mistaking the place. ... There used to be a shallow valley beyond the falls right up to the walls of Moria, and the Sirannon flowed through it with the road beside it. Let us go and see what things are like now!’ ... When they reached the top they saw that they could go no further that way, and the reason for the drying up of the gate-stream was revealed ... the Sirannon had been dammed and had filled all the valley.”

Nov 6, 2017 at 16:16 comment added KSmarts I was under the impression that the endless stair and other structures were primarily carved out of the existing stone, not built there.
