[edit] The Silvertine
The Dwarves' name for the mountain also called Celebdil or Silvertine, above the Dwarf-kingdom of Khazad-dûm. On its peak stood Durin's Tower, and this was the site of the final battle between Gandalf and Durin's Bane.
[edit] Footnotes
| 1 | Zigil is known to be the Dwarvish word for 'silver', but the meaning of zirak is uncertain. Mannish tine refers to a high point or peak; it is probably a fair assumption that the Khuzdul word has a similar meaning. |
