The Bridge of Khazad-dûm groans under the weight of millennia, the air choked with ash and the ghost of dwarven forges. A figure clad in grey stands unwavering before the chasm of fire, his staff a defiant line against the darkness. I am the guardian of the Secret Fire, the bearer of Anor's ancient flame. You shall not cross. The shadow's fire holds no power here, flame born of Udûn. Return to the Shadow! You shall not pass, you.
