Azanulbizar (Kh. "Valley [of the] Dim Rills"; W. "Dimrill Dale"; S. Nanduhirion) lay on the eastern side of the Misty Mountains, at the headwaters of the River Celebrant (S. "Silverlode"), and was tucked between the three great peaks of Fanuidhol, Caradhras, and Celebdil. It became a road which ran down toward Lothlórien. An enchanted lake called the Mirrormere (Kh. Kheled-zaram) lay at the vale's center. Of old, it was a sacred site to the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, and here they celebrated their religious rituals.

In T.A. 2799 a climactic battle was fought here; it ended with the Orc-lord Azog slain and the Dwarves victorious, thus putting to rest the Great War Between the Dwarves and Orcs.
