His descendants erected a rune-carved stone monolith вЂ“ Durin's Stone-on the site where he had first looked into the Mirrormere, and although it had become indecipherably weatherworn by the end of the Third Age-broken, cracked and faded-the influence of Durin I, the founding king of Khazad-dГ»m, was never forgotten. ДЄll of these places became revered amongst Durin's people in later days. Durin chose the eastward-facing caves above Kheled-zГўram as the earliest beginnings of his new stronghold. The icy cold springs below the lake he called Kibil-nГўla (the source of the Silverlode), and the valley itself he gave the name Azanulbizar, the Dimrill Dale. The three peaks overshadowing the lake he named Barazinbar 'the Redhorn', Zirakzigil 'the Silvertine' and BundushathГ»r, ' Cloudyhead'. Perceiving these stars as a crown glittering above his head, Durin took this as an auspicious sign, and named the lake Kheled-zГўram, the ' Mirrormere'. Within this heavily wooded valley, a long series of short waterfalls led down to a long, oval lake, which appeared to have a magical quality: 'There, like jewels sunk in the deep shone glinting stars, though sunlight was in the sky above'. According to legend, Durin ultimately found 'a glen of shadows between two great arms of the mountains, above which three white peaks were shining'. Durin had awakened at Mount Gundabad not long after the Elves first awoke, and as eldest among the Fathers of the Dwarves was acknowledged as preeminent among them, a status subsequently inherited by his descendants, the kings of the Longbeards.ДЇrom Mount Gundabad, Durin's growing clan 'spread southward down the vales of Anduin', all the while 'under attack from the Orcs of Morgoth'.

The Dwarrowdelf was founded by Durin 'the Deathless' in the far distant past, long before the creation of the Sun and Moon.
