: : TreeBeard...... : : : And the reason Gimli remembers Moria so much is due to the fact that it was, not counting his meeting with Galadriel, the single most important part of his personal journey (although the Paths of the Dead may rank up their with it). : : It's no suprise then that he uses Moria as the stage where he judges later events as having happened from. : : Not only did he pass through he halls of his ancestors but he comes face to face with Durin's Bane, the only dwarf to do so and survive in the best part of eleven hundred years (Dain didn't actually come face to face with the balrog). : : I'm afraid I must reiterate what I have said previously. The characters in the book are not perfect, nor should we expect them to be. I believe it was an oversight on Gimli's part, not Tolkien's. : : Cheers : : : : Padster Not to ring your bell or anything, but it should be "there" instead of "their". Don't be too hasty when you write if possible. :-)
