Walkthrough & Notes

Page 1 at [28.6N, 4.0W] (outside Járnfast) 'The wealth of Khazad-dûm is known Fair gems and mithril deck its throne And yet that gold-rich kingdom lacks The heart of hauberk, sword, and axe And so we went forth seeking Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 2 at [26.1N, 8.1W] (on the road to Járnfast) 'Farin, Blackmattock, fared afar By shining sun and sheen of star And found what once was merely myth That red-veined peak, the Rusted Lith And stayed among the Hills of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 3 at [29.9N, 12.0W] (just south of Hammerstead) 'His delvings found a wealth of ore Its worth a hundred hoards and more A carven keep he wrought to last Hewn from hillside: stout Járnfast Blackmattock became Lord of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 4 inside Járnfast in the southern tunnels next to Foreman Brumbur 'For years in Járnfast all was well But ages end, and times grow fell Black Thangorodrim fell in thunder And split the world's stone spine asunder Shattered was the Hold of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 5 at [30.7N, 12.3W] (at the entrance to Hammerstead) 'Still through long years of dauntless toil Lord Grár the Grave dug stone and soil The Fast was mended, whole once more And grander even than before And so returned our wealth of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 6 at [20.4N, 14.5W] (on the road east of Skald's Drop) 'Alas, the peril had not passed Morgoth's moaning host amassed In cracks and cleavings under hill Nameless beasts, with yearnings ill Fell things moved ’neath seams of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 7 behind Nain's throne in Járnfast 'The Fast's foundation stones were rent The throng spilled forth without relent Till Grár descended, stern and swift And broke the roof above the rift Grár the Grim-brow died for Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 8 at [28.8N, 15.6W] (on the road north of Utterby) 'The cleft collapsed; Grár was no more His mattock fell upon the floor Morgoth's monsters shrieked and spit Imprisoned in the Howling Pit The horde remains entombed in Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 9 at [21.0N, 15.6W] (near Skald's Drop) 'Lord Frár took up his liege's maul He called his council, wise dwarves all To bid them bar his father's grave So no fiend could escape the cave The crack was bound with bonds of Iron Iron hard and iron cold' Page 10 two levels below Nain's throne in Járnfast 'Above the Pit, three gates of steel Upon the last, a mithril seal Graven rune-spells guard that curtain Break them not, or doom is certain Thus is writ the Rede of Iron Iron hard and iron cold'
