Tuggle'2 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 From this point on we shall be known as The Three GeeketeersI am going to educate some folks. This is knowledge everyone should know!Durin's Bane:Durin's Bane refers to the Balrog living in Moria during the Third Age. Although its true name and history are largely unknown, it became an important figure during the War of the Ring.Durin's Bane was one of the Maiar spirits that existed before the creation of the world (similar to Gandalf and Saruman), who descended into Arda with the Valar. It was eventually seduced and corrupted by Melkor, becoming known as one of the Valaraukar, and it then joined with the other Balrogs in Morgoth's service. The Balrog fought in many battles of the War of the Jewels, up to and including the War of Wrath. It somehow managed to survive Morgoth's defeat, fleeing east and taking refuge beneath the Misty Mountains.For more than five thousand years, the Balrog hibernated at the roots of the mountains in Khazad-dûm. It remained undisturbed throughout the Second Age and most of the Third Age, before the Mithril-miners of Dwarf-King Durin VI awoke it when they mined too deeply, in the usual search of mithril. Durin was slain by the creature, at which point it became known as Durin's Bane.The Dwarves attempted to fight the Balrog, but its power was far too great. Despite their efforts to hold Khazad-dûm against it, King Náin and many of the Dwarves were killed and the survivors were forced to flee. This disaster appears to have also reached the Silvan Elves of Lothlórien, many of which also fled the "Nameless Terror" (it was not recognized as a Balrog at the time). The elves began to call the place Moria, "The Dark Abyss." For five hundred years, Moria was left to the Balrog. Sauron began to put his plans for war into effect around the year TA 2480 of the Third Age, and sent orcs and trolls to the Misty Mountains to bar all of the passes. Some of these creatures came to Moria.It is unclear as to whether Sauron could have controlled the Balrog (they were both originally Maiar), but it's possible that they could have allied against the Free Peoples. At any rate, the Balrog did allow the orcs and trolls to remain in Moria, possibly because they were too terrified of it to intentionally bother it. Tolkien does not mention whether Sauron was aware of the Balrog's presence prior to this time, and thus the extent of their alliance (if any) remains unclear.The Balrog had a small but important role at the Battle of Azanulbizar, the climactic battle in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. In TA 2799, the Dwarves finally defeated the majority of the orcs occupying Moria, but Dáin II Ironfoot, having slain the orc Azog, felt the terror of the Balrog at the gate and declared that Moria itself remained beyond their power to conquer. Despite an attempt to recolonise Moria by Balin in TA 2989, Durin's Bane remained a menace in the ancient kingdom of the Dwarves, its true nature hidden to the outside world.In January of TA 3019, the Fellowship of the Ring travelled through Moria on the way to Mordor. There, they encountered Durin's Bane at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The Elf Legolas instantly recognised the Balrog, but more importantly, the wizard Gandalf happened to be there. Knowing that it was far more powerful than even the greatest of his companions, Gandalf challenged it - since the Balrog was a Maia like Gandalf, the wizard was the only one who could hope to match its power. The Balrog attacked first with its flaming sword, which Gandalf destroyed with Glamdring. Gandalf then smote the Bridge before him with his staff. The staff broke asunder, a blinding sheet of white flame sprang up, and the bridge cracked at the feet of the Balrog, who fell forward into the abyss. As the Balrog fell, it swung its whip. The thongs of the whip wrapped around Gandalf's knees, dragging him after the Balrog. "Fly, you fools!" Gandalf cried, and was gone.As they fell, the Balrog's flames burned Gandalf. After the long fall, the two landed in a subterranean lake, which Gandalf later said almost froze his heart. The water quenched the Balrog's fire, reducing it to "a thing of slime, stronger than a strangling snake". In this relatively weak state, Durin's Bane fled, and Gandalf pursued the creature out of Moria and up the Endless Stair. The chase ended atop the peak of Zirakzigil, or Celebdil, when the Balrog's bodily flames were renewed, restoring much of its power. There, beginning on January 23, the Maiar fought what was later known as the Battle of the Peak. After a fierce battle, Gandalf prevailed and finally slew the Balrog, casting it down from the peak and sending it crashing into the mountains. Then "darkness took" Gandalf for a time (whether this means he actually died is open to debate) but then he "was sent back – for a brief time, until my task is done." The great eagle Gwaihir the Windlord (lord of the Great Eagles of Middle-earth) found him and carried him to Lothlórien where he was healed and clothed in white – he had become Gandalf the White.The ultimate fate of Durin's Bane is not known, as only its physical form died, as with all Maiar when they were "killed," but what happened to the spirit of the Balrog was not revealed. It is also unknown if it was the last of its kind, or if there were other Balrogs who managed to escape the War of Wrath and remained hidden in long forgotten places.
