(Comment to Troels: Which weapon do you have in mind? I can't think of
one that has a proper name, is made by dwarves, and not made of metal).

People would be better advised to not cascade their questions, but rather
ask each after the questionmaster answers the previous one. Patience!
Narvi made the doors of Moria. :-)
14. The breadbox question: would it fit inside a breadbox?

Hm. Not Balin's Tomb or the Chamber of Mazarbul, nor the Endless Stair,
which did have insides where something could be put. Balin, in the case of
the tomb. Not Durin's Bridge, which did have a military purpose: a last
defence against a foe that broke through the East-gate. "The Door of Moria"
of question 13 I guess refers to the Hollin Gate, so I'll make a long shot:
17. The Dimrill Gate?

I live in Europe too, but I was so curious about how it would go that
I kept sneaking back to the computer to see how it was going. I am
very impressed by all the shrewd questions which gradually nailed down
the subject.

I definitely do; but I've suffered from a cold with a rather
irritating cough, which has made my sleeping habits rather irregular
lately. So when I woke up, a little trip to the computer was no great
exertion.
