Moria. You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm... shadow and flame.

"[npc=216943]" WHELP! Guess they're gonna die!
If you accidentally leave the cave entirely, and then have trouble finding it again to actually finish the quest, the entrance is at /way #2214 65.0 41.6 by Skorthuz. And then give up and go back to Granny, at which point you'll be in the correct phase.
