Malmezel was once a street of some sort lined with small buildings. Few of the old records speak to its purpose, though one might guess that it once was filled with workshops or taverns for the dwarves who once worked these mines.
In the time of ancient Moria, this building would have served as the quarters of the high-foreman of the Redhorn Lodes. Now it acts as the throne of whatever orc has risen to power over his brethren in this vast cavern.
Budkhul-beken provides a commanding view of the great cavern below. Perhaps in days long past, the mine's overseers stood here to plan out their excavations. Now all one can see are the shattered ruins below, crawling with Orcs ...
