Talk:The Mines of Moria

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

The quote at the top of the article is taken from the book found by Gandalf in the Chamber of Mazarbul. The quote is accurate, but the article mistakenly attributes it to Balin. It could not have been written by him, however, because 1) he was already dead, and 2) an earlier sentence of the same entry refers to how he died.—N3rus 01:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that Gimli attributes the book entry to Ori.—N3rus 03:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moria and Pearls

I am puzzled at the inclusion of pearls being one of the types of items found in the Mines of Moria mentioned in this entry. I don't have any references handy to check which items were to be found there, but pearls are, of course, from oysters, unless the entry is referring to 'cave pearls'.
