Suillinan,

Sorry to bust your bubbles folks, but in the Silmarillion it clearly states that the Moria Balrog was not the last and only remaining Balrog or Quenya: Valaraukar, The surviving Valaraukar hid deep under ground yet in 1980 of the third age one was found in moria at the base of a mithril vein. It killed two kings of Durin's folk in two years and the Dwarves fled. In 2480 Sauron sent Orcs to habitate the mines of Moria, and both them and the Trolls they brought with them were put into submission by the Balrog, or Durin's Bane. Durin's Bane was killed by Gandalf after a ten day battle. Yet still there are a few remaining demons, of shadow and flame... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
