Mountains of Khazad-Dûm | Moria

Terrain Study using Tolkiens works as a reference. These are the three peaks above Moria in Middleearth. The Animations starts at Zirakzigil, which was inspired by the "Silberhorn". The Camera then moves on to Barazinbar, described as having a steep red flank and firn on its top. After that it swings by Bundushathûr which is described as being covered in fog a lot. Below there is Kheled-zâram, also known as Mirrormere. I put the seven stars in there as reflections as a callback to Durins Song.
