Gandalf wasn't wrong. Numenor was destroyed. It was gone. So when he said Mithril was only found in Moria, that was to say that's the only place it could be mined.

You left out what, to me, is the most interesting thing between Gandalf and the Balrog. When the fellowship leave the chamber, Gandalf is there by the door. He puts a shutting spell on the door. He also feel the Balrog come into the chamber, though he does not know what it is. And when the Balrog puts his hands on the door, he "perceives" the presence of both Gandalf and Gandalf's spell. And he casts a counter spell. So they can feel each other's presence without even seeing each other.

Gandalf, plus the presence of The One Ring and Gandalf's Ring definitely attracted Durin's Bane. I think they are also what really caught the attention of the Watcher in the Water.
82 |
Adding to Gandalf and the Balrog being each other’s opposite: Gandalf with Narya kindled hope in his companions and the other free peoples of Middle Earth. The Balrog on the other hand only brought despair and destruction to those it encountered
I never put all the parallels between them together before this video, fantastic work!

Interesting how the Balrog fled to the caverns deep under the Misty Mountains, just like another evil character that we are more familiar with, Precious.

Mithril was found in Numenor and also in Valinor; However, at the time Gandalf said that mithril was only found in Moria it was true as Numenor had been destroyed and Valinor removed from the world forever.

I had a few thoughts.
1) The battle between the Balrog and Gandalf could be said to have been the last battle of the War of Wrath.
2) I agree that Gandalf's magic and the Ring would have been enough to draw the attention of the Balrog, but I also believe that he was disinclined to stir beyond his stony kingdom. Gandalf does not reveal his power again until he is facing the unseen Balrog in a war of wills, and even then they do not know one another. Pippin's dropping the stone is what alerted all their enemies to their presence, and alerted the Balrog to the invasion of his kingdom. This being the third such incursion, he chooses to come personally and with overwhelming force.
3) The fight between the Balrog and Gandalf I believe is told in exacting detail. This is a foe that Gandalf, though weakened by choice in coming to Middle Earth, can release the full force of his might against. The War of Wrath destroyed a continent, and here we get a glimpse as to why. This fight was epic in scale, especially its conclusion where the reports of fire and lightening upon the mountain heights are reported far and wide, especially as it occurred in dramatic fashion. Further, in throwing down the Balrog, both the mountainside and the Endless stair are smashed to utter ruin. Such devastation would have required the work of a lifetime or more, but was accomplished in mere moments as the fight closed.
4) The Balrog seems to take an interest in possible threats to his realm. Dain Ironfoot actually seems him briefly upon killing Azog, and then councils against the resettlement of Moria as they can not combat the the Bane of Durin.
5) I think it likely that both Sauron and the Balrog knew of one another, and felt that the best policy was one of noninterference. This Balrog would have also been present to save Morgoth from Ungoilant. It seems likely therefore that these two servant of Morgoth decided not to pit themselves against one another.
6) Could it be that the destruction of this Balrog was in the plan of Illuvitar the entire time? The elves had killed two at great cost, and there were few left who would be able to replicate the feat. The Balrog could have in time grown bold enough to become a Dark Lord in his own right, but by destroying him before his potential powers were at their full, it circumvented the rise of a third Dark Lord, just as the destruction of Saruman ensured that he could not replace Sauron.
91 |
I wonder if Durin's Bane killed Gandalf or if it was Gandalf's use of his full Maia power that simply overwhelmed his mortal body.
241 |
I also seem to remember Gandalf mentioning something about how the dark power in Moria was drawn to him and that he was destined to meet it after he blocks the door the first time.
22 |
Awesome video as always.
My head canon is there were 3-7 Balrogs and many lesser fire spirits that served Melkor and where also mistaken for Balrogs

My wife’s students really enjoyed your very first video explaining what happened “in the beginning”. She really enjoys your gift for storytelling, and making a subject as rich and complex as Tolkien’s legendarium accessible. Please keep up the excellent work!

Everything was fine until the fire...I mean Balrog attacked

This is like a dwarven week in lore land. I love it!!!
35 |
It seems they like to take a nap alot. Pretty sure when Ungoliant was about to snack Morgoth they were not happy their sleep being interrupted. It seems Sauron treated them with much love and great care in Angband
Jokes aside, another great video from one of my favorite youtubers. I cannot describe how excited I am to see mighty Glaurungs story!💚
38 |
I have not even watched yet, but love that you are creating again! Rest when you need to, we patiently wait.
39 |
I doubt the Balrog would accept being considered any kind of "pet" of Sauron's, and likewise I bet Sauron knew better anyway. The threat/rivalry potential seems most likely. I imagine the Balrogs are like Morgoth's Nazgul; his most loyal and trusty servants. They might have common purposed for a while, but I suspect their goals would eventually be in conflict. (I imagine the Balrog's chief motivation would be bringing Morgoth back from the Void.)
23 |
Excellent video, Rainbow Dave! The collective history of Moria can get rather murky, so this summary is definitely appreciated. And I very much agree with you that Sauron and the Balrog would view each other more as equals than anything else, so an alliance of any kind where one might take orders from the other is vastly unlikely.
31 |
It may be interpreted that Pippin also in the book alerts the denizens of Moria that there are intruders. Right after the stone, they hear the sound of a hammer tapping in an uneven rhythm, which they speculate might be a signal. Gandalf says something like “it may have nothing to do with the hobbit’s stone, but my guess is that something has been disturbed that would have been best left in peace”.

In his first incarnation Glorfindel killed a Balrog. He was sent back even stronger.

The depth, intricacy, and almost realness of Tolkien lore makes me somewhat offended when people compare to Harry Potter
