The History of Gundabad | Tolkien Explained

Gundabad, the awakening place of Durin I, is sacred for the dwarves. However, it would long be a stronghold of the orcs. Today, we cover the entire history of Gundabad - the battles waged there, and it's importance throughout the history of Angmar, Erebor, and Middle-earth!

Join me on Tuesday as we play the brand new dwarf-centric game Return to Moria: https://www.youtube.com/live/BsQmK9eH...
