Jul 22, 2019 at 19:52 comment added Invisible Trihedron @Amarth: True enough, but no one moves heavy rocks any farther than they have to, even today with abundant energy. As Moria was, what, about thirty miles wide, there should have been valleys to either side where tailings could be dumped within the Misty Mountains themselves.
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:44 comment added Amarth Since most of the building work was made in the eastern parts around Khazad Dum, they might have made these tailings east of the Misty Mountains - a landscape that we don't know much about from the books. There wouldn't be anyone to object at the point when Khazad Dum was founded - the elves moved in one age later.
