Durin’s StoneThe standing stone beside the Mirrormere![]() A pillar of stone standing in the valley of Nanduhirion, overlooking the silvery surface of the Mirrormere. In ancient days Durin the Deathless had looked into the lake, and seeing the stars of the Crown of Durin reflected in its waters, had resolved to found Khazad-dûm in the Mountains above the valley. The monument of Durin's Stone was erected by the Longbeard Dwarves to mark the place where their founder looked into the starry depths. When it was first placed by the lakeside, the stone was carved with runes, but by the end of the Third Age, the elements had taken their toll. The ancient runes could no longer be read, and the upper part of the pillar was broken, but Durin's Stone still stood beside the lake the Dwarves called Kheled-zâram. Notes
