'It is up to you and your friends now. You must rally my people and coordinate the defence of Moria. We have prepared for war at three key locations: the Deep-way, the Way of Smiths, and the Twenty-first Hall; if these locations fall, we are lost.

'Brogur must fight for the protection of the Deep-way. Tell him I am counting on his strength, and he will stand as long as it takes to fight back the Orc-hordes. Speak with him first.

'The defence of the Way of Smiths is in the hands of Stóthkell. He speaks highly of you and will do as you command. You should speak with him once the Deep-way is secured.

'Wíli will oversee the barricades at the Twenty-first Hall; he fought bravely as part of the diversionary force during my son's assault on Stazgnâkh, and... I am sorry. Wíli will do fine. This will be the last and most vital bastion you must defend. Our survival is in your hands.'
