Disclaimer: There is no need for anyone to do any of these caches, or to complete them once started. Those who choose to undertake this series do so at their own risk. The terrain in the area of these caches is extremely rocky and steep. Please be careful. But even with care, falling from great heights and other serious, potentially fatal risks remain. Please do not undertake this series if you are not in good physical shape, comfortable with rock climbing, and completely willing to accept the risks associated with this activity.

Moria Awaits
Once again, the coordinates above are false. You will obtain the correct coordinates by finding the six runes hidden around "Three Rings for the Elven Kings," all within 70 feet of that cache, and following the instructions below. The six runes are on stones, and the cache is among the Dwarves' "Halls of Stone" themselves.

Following is the key to translating the runes:
You will also need to know these five things:
- Latitude is silver.
- Longitude is gold.
- The first rune after each decimal point is black.
- The second is purple.
- The third is green.
Note: The purple is light (fuchsia).
With this information, you can fill in the missing digits below and find the cache:
N36 27.???
W 78 58.???
By itself, this should be no more challenging than the cache of the Elven Kings. The greater difficulty rating here reflects the progressive nature of this series -- i.e., that you must complete both the first challenge and this one to find the Dwarf Lords' cache.
This cache, aptly, is small, but not a micro. Bearing in mind the Dwarves' love of silver and gold, we have made this a coin-themed cache, initially stocked with several interesting coins from around the world. As well, you will find a log book with, upon its inside cover, the coordinates of "Nine for Mortal Men."
