Khazad-dûm (or Moria) is a fictional underground dwarven city featuring in the Lord of the Rings and other Middle Earth books of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The city was founded by the dwarf-king Durin. In the middle of the Third Age, the dwarves were driven from Moria by a Balrog of Morgoth.

No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
