Description:
An event in the Battles of the Fellowship at Moria; see that entry for an overview:
'There upon Celebdil was a... narrow space, a dizzy eyrie above the mists of the world.... Out [the Balrog] sprang, and... burst into new flame. There was none to see, or perhaps in after ages songs would still be sung of the Battle of the Peak.... I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountainside where he smote it in his ruin. Then darkness took me....'
