Lore

Deed Text: According to legend, it was at Abkân'aban, the Stone of Wakening, where Durin the Deathless first awoke in the depths of Mount Gundabad. Atop his earthen cradle, Durin himself is purported to have wrought an anvil of black stone, Narag-dehar, and a forge of white brick, Labam-khebab. After the Greymaul Rebellion, however, it was decreed that the forge should remain dark until the prophesied return of Durin the Last, and so it was extinguished, serving ever after only as a site of ceremony for the Longbeards.
