Zurr-thurkh (Khuzdul for Secret Road) is a passage connecting to Durin's throne room. The location of Zurr-thurkh is inside Buzun-ghâr, something that was revealed inside Mukhful Thurkh, the workshop of Melkólf Stonecarver on Zirakzigil. The Secret Road is a huge sprawling chamber of carved stalactites and tumbling water, a grand feat of engineering kept hidden beneath other well-known areas of Moria. It connects further to Rushdurinul, the Throne of Durin.

Description

Zurr-thurkh is explored in the Instance: The Secret Road with Orvar Bellhammer to gain acces to the Great Throne Room of Durin -- called Rushdurinul by the Dwarves, and Zabadgathol by the orcs. It now serves as Mazog's fortress.

It is reached by entering the cave Buzun-ghâr^{[4.3S, 108.6W]} in Durin's Way and descending down, until the cave is lit with a red glowing light.

Follow the stone piece over the gap before you until you face Grawulun the Caerog, who is asleep. (You defeated him earlier in: Vol. 2, Book 7 -- Chapter 5: The Source of the Rot)

Go left before Grawulun and enter the hidden cave entrance of Zurr-thurkh.

The Secret Road, Zurr-thurkh, Connects the Throne of Durin with Durin's Way.
