Azaghal of Belegost of Ered  Luin, rightful ruler of the Blue Mountains, has heard news of the armies marching towards Durin's Folk in the north. He calls his men to arms (many of which are frontiersmen due to the rebuilding of Belegost). Most of his men had fought in the war of the ring while defending Erebor from the Easterlings so they were not at all new to the battle axes and armors that they now bore.

Azaghal's forces were prepared within the next few days and made ready to march to Erebor. They chose to take the Great East Road. Azaghal being the leader he was, led his men, choosing to show loyalty to his men in hopes to instill courage into them.

The group of 3000 dwarves that made up his ranks broke off from the road and marched towards the lost realm of Khazad-Dum. They came upon the west gate and entered the halls only to be greeted by a host of orcs. These were the cowardly orcs that moved west to escape Durin's folk in the east. Now, the orcs were caught between the allied forces of Durin's Folk and the Dwarves of Ered Luin. Having reclaimed Moria within a month or so, they decided to make it the base of operations and stronghold of their alliance.

Soon the Ironfists hear tale of Khazad-Dum being conquered by their enemies. {hope I did alright, this is my first time ever doing rp like this}
