The Bridge of Khazad-dûm West

Lore

The Bridge of Khazad-dûm was conceived as an ancient defence designed to deter any who might seek to invade the city. The chasm it crosses is among the largest in Moria, and has been here since the city was founded so many long years ago. Its depths seem wholly bottomless to the reckoning of a mortal eye. Now the bridge lies in ruins, its western span jutting forlornly out over the depths of the chasm, the very stone shattered and charred by unknown forces.

Location

The West Arch is reached from the Second Hall, the Hall of Stone Trees, via a rickety wooden bridge across a chasm of fire. ^{[8.0S, 99.2W]} A fall from the arch into the depths below will certainly prove fatal.
