While it was neither the oldest or the largest of the Grey Mountain colonies, Norr-dûm (Kh."Thakalgund") was the capital of Durin's folk. Chosen because of its central location in relation to the other Settlements, Norr-dûm was the center of Dwarvish industry. The larger mining colonies, such as Thundercleft and Silver-pit, transported their ore overland to Norr-dûm for smelting. Almost all of the forging of products was carried out here. Norr-dûm sprawled over three levels, the lowest of which consisted almost entirely of mining tunnels. The second level was the main working area, although there were some Dwarf-lodgings, and the Halls of Smithing were located here. The upper level consisted mostly of residential and administration areas.
