 | - The Misty Mountains are about 1440km long - nearly the length of New Zealand!
- The Misty Mountains were so high and steep that it was virtually impossible to climb over. There were only a few difficult passes across them.
- The large number of goblins (orcs) living in the Misty Mountains made the mountains even more dangerous!
- There was a famous, but deserted dwarven palace carved out inside the Misty Mountains called Khazad-Dum
- When he was young, Tolkien though of goblins as being like tiny elves with the sounds of their singing and dancing beautiful and magical!
