| - A secondary route, the Cloud Pass (S. "Cirith Faniun"), on the eastern side of the main ridge of the Hithaeglir, wound between Redhorn and Cloudyhead, allowing a traveler to avoid the Dimrill Dale. It then merged with a path along the northern fringe of Lorien in order to enter the northen part of the vale of Anduin. Melkor, the fallen Vala, had called upon many Maiar to aid him in the raising of the Hithaeglir. Unknown and unknowable to most mortals, one of them was entombed within the substance of Caradhras. In essence, the mountain was a sentient being; it was virtually always asleep and effectively blind and deaf by mannish standards, but was capable of affecting the substance of its own mass and the air around it using what mortals would have consider to be magical means. The spirit of Caradhras had little interest in the events of the world, and typically undertook to think and act only when prodded by powerful sorcery. The only grudge it carried was against the Dwarves who were digging at its roots to obtain the rare metal mithril. The Khazad were careful not to speak ill of the mountain while they were working under it or traveling over it. They kept their mining tunnels within Caradhras small and clean of debris. It was considered the best policy among the Dwarves to do nothing to gain the mountain's attention
