Did Galadriel & Nenya keep the Balrog from Moria out of Lothlorien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yeah the Balrog of Moria seems unduly agoraphobic. It never seems to have ventured out of Moria to the East or (as far as we know) to the West. Even when the orcs were being beaten at the battle of Azanulbizar the Balrog lurked back inside the mines.

Was it frightened of sunlight, or just keeping a low profile in case some of those nasty Valar types showed up again?

(You'd think it didn't want anyone to see its wings [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
