Mines of Moria
Could someone tell me more about the Mines of Moria? I just read past the part where they open the door and go in.

In Moria, not Kazad. Kazad is Dwarf in Elvish.

I'm halfway through Two Towers, so I already know what happened after the fight.

No, I didn't. I just knew he was killed there and buried there.

Sorry to be a language pedant but I think Khazad is Dwarf in Dwarvish; the Sindaran word for Dwarf is Hadhod.
The Dwarfs call Moria Khazad-dum which means Dwarf Mansion. Moria is a Sindaran word for the mines that came into use after the Dwarfs woke up the Balrog about 1000 years before the War of the Ring. Not sure what Moria translates to but Mor part of it means Black so it obviously has evil undertones.
Its sad I know all this actually.

Not around here it isn't. Here, knowledge is praised and worshipped...

The Mines...
The Mines of Moria were one of the original dwellings of the Dwarves in Middle-Earth. Khazad-Dum is the proper name.
It was mined for ores and Mithril. The dwarves then dug a little too deep and awoke the Balrog that had been imprisoned there since the War against Melkor.
