'We have certainly come a long way since I enlisted your aid for the Iron Garrison, have we not, Player? Who can say they expected you to be of such help to us? I must admit I did not!
'We Dwarves of the Iron Garrison are gathering to witness the sealing of the mithril axe in the very depths of Ghân-gharâf. I am sure all will wish to speak with you as you make your way to Bróin.'1/1
2 Speak toTulk (Show dialog)
'Very good, very good, my friend! I am glad you have come; I know it is important to Bróin that you be here.
'I remember still how you took it upon yourself to slay the crebain that sought to spy on the Iron Garrison at our encampment just outside the Hollin Gate. Who knows what evils you forestalled that day, Player? Those filthy birds would report no news of our doings to their mysterious master, thanks to you.
'And thanks to the dwarf who asked you to do it, as well!'1/1
3 Speak toWárr (Show dialog)
'My dwarves have been called upon today to collapse the passage leading to Ghân-gharâf, once the mithril axe has been left within. It is strange to me to be covering up a passage, rather than uncovering it!
'Indeed, you helped my dwarves unearth the Doors of Durin at the West-gate, did you not? We have had much hardship since then, but look now at the glory of the Iron Garrison! The true work has only just begun!'1/1
4 Speak toHundi (Show dialog)
'I have not seen you since you passed into Moria, Player! How has the legendary weapon I gave you from the relics unearthed in Eregion served?'
Hundi's brow furrows with disappointment at your answer.
'You had it reforged? Oh, I see. Well, that is sometimes the way of weapons, is it not?'1/1
5 Speak toSweina (Show dialog)
'Watch your step, Player. The footing here is treacherous.'
Sweina thinks for a moment, and then laughs.
'Who am I to tell you what is treacherous? We first met when I boldly charged into the deepest reaches of the Silvertine Lodes to challenge a nest of goblins in combat! I could have handled myself admirably, and was about to do so, but your intervention was still appreciated.'1/1
6 Speak toStilling (Show dialog)
'Look, Wili, if it isn't our counterpart, Player!
'You may not remember, Player, but Wili and I launched the diversionary strike on the Guarded Junction while you and Bori faced off against Ashpar in Stazgnâkh!
'It was no easy thing, keeping the Orcs from returning while you were still within their camp, but we managed it!'1/1
7 Speak toSlóthi (Show dialog)
'As you can see, we managed to hold out against the Orcs, Player. Thórgnyr and I kept the supplies flowing to each of the Iron Garrison outposts within Khazad-dûm.
'You were a big part of our success in keeping the lines of supply flowing, Player, and we thank you for it.'1/1
8 Speak toSigdan (Show dialog)
'Careful, Player! The water here is rapid!
'My cousin Sporr is still on duty, scouting the approaches to the Chamber of the Cross-roads, but I know that Sporr appreciated your help chasing down Orc-spies before the great battle.
'It was well done, Player, and it has been a pleasure working to reclaim the halls of Khazad-dûm with such a staunch ally as you!'1/1
9 Speak toThálfi (Show dialog)
'You are almost to Ghân-gharâf, Player. I did not think it would be this far, but Melmar here assures me that it is close.'1/1
10 Speak toWafi (Show dialog)
'Look at us, Player! Did you ever think we would be in this place, about to leave a weapon of such power buried behind great stone walls, never to be used?
'Is this the right course of action? Well, that is for Bósi and Brogur, and their sons, to decide. We do our duties, as they are assigned to us, and must trust that they know best.
'Did you doubt me when I sent you to salvage useable weapons from all around Khazad-dûm? It was for a good cause, was it not?'1/1
11 Speak toRink Stronghammer (Show dialog)
'Ah, these tunnels will not be used by dwarves following this day. What tales will spring up among our younger kin concerning our actions here, I wonder?
'Already, I have told my boy of the great skill with which you dispatched goblin-runners in the Flooded Deeps for me, Player. He is amazed at the number... though to be truthful, I have forgotten how many it was. Fifty? One-hundred?'1/1
12 Speak toStóthkell (Show dialog)
'I have come to witness the sealing away of Zigilburk myself, Player, and few of my dwarves could bear to come with me. The mithril axe was forged at the Heart of Fire during a time long past, and for it to no longer be wielded seems a great shame to me.
'I understand that the axe has brought grief to the Dwarves of the Iron Garrison, but as a forge-master and a dwarf in whom burns the fire of craft-work, the moon above the mountains will set today upon a different world.'1/1
13 Speak toOrvar Bellhammer (Show dialog)
'I knew you would not miss this moment, Player, ${RACE} that you are! It seems that adventure follows you wherever you pass.
'The feats of heroism we committed in the depths of Buzun-ghâr and in Rushdurinul are still a wonder to me... and will be until the end of my days, I am sure.
'The tales of which we have been a part will echo to the carven heights of even the grandest ale-hall of Khazad-dûm!'1/1
14 Speak toBósi (Show dialog)
'Welcome back to Khazad-dûm, Player. For the great service you have done my family and for rescuing my son from the dungeons of Dol Guldur, you will always have a home here, if you want it.
'I know Brogur is not pleased with the idea of leaving Zigilburk in the depths of Ghân-gharâf, untouched, but the mithril axe has brought us little but grief. I agree with my son and my nephew on this.'1/1
15 Speak toBrogur (Show dialog)
'Do you intend to go along with this foolish decision of my son and nephew to leave Zigilburk here in the depths?
'This is a mistake, Player. I am certain any misfortune brought upon us by the mithril axe would have befallen us even without it.
'Why abandon such a weapon? Surely we will have need of it again! Can you say we will not?'1/1
16 Speak toBori (Show dialog)
'Thank you for coming here for us, Player. Bróin is just ahead, with Zigilburk.
'It is for the best; the mithril axe should remain unused from now on, left for all the ages of the world in the watery chamber where it was found.'1/1
17 Speak toBróin (Show dialog)
'This is the last time I will stand within the walls of Ghân-gharâf, Player. I remember when I crawled, dripping and scared, out of the pool, and lay my eyes upon this flooded chamber.
'Were it not for Zigilburk clutched in the hand of the dwarf Óin, friend of my grandfather's, I could not have kept the terrible beast of the pool at bay.'1/1
18 Speak toBori (Show dialog)
'So it is done, then. It is good to know that Zigilburk will trouble the dwarves no more.'1/1
