Khand-Moria-Carn dum coincidence

[Kuruharan]

so dwarves might have flourished in that diagonal mountain range, which im sure has a different name than the epitel duath.....so since saurin didnt taint the land, and nurn wasnt as bad as gogoroth, i think geolgicallt and politically it would be possible for a dwarvish clan, even by the enemy. Erebor was near the grey mountains, and Rhun, and they onlky fought when attacked, they did not go out to conquer. same with the emyen angren. So there could be a clan, that either eluded sauron, khand, and rhun, or was eliminated by them, and only the name khand perhaps remained. Speculation.

I suppose anything is possible. In this particular case I don't think it is likely. Dwarves wouldn't have any reason to go exploring in that part of the world. They were all too far away.
