Where Did the Last Balrogs Go?

Everyone thinks the last Balrog died in Moria. Durin’s Bane rose from the deep places of Khazad-dûm, fought Gandalf on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, fell into the abyss, and vanished like the final ember of Morgoth’s ancient fire. But that’s not what really happened. Tolkien never says Durin’s Bane was the last Balrog. He only says it was a Balrog — one of the ancient demons of fire. And that silence opens a terrifying possibility: what if Moria was not the last hiding place? What if Durin’s Bane was only the one that woke? In this video, we explore where the last Balrogs may have gone after the War of Wrath, why Balrogs were far more than monsters, how they survived as corrupted Maiar, and why the deep places of Middle-earth may still hide fragments of Morgoth’s ancient darkness. From Angband and the War of Wrath to Khazad-dûm, Gandalf, Durin’s Bane, Morgoth, and the nameless depths beneath the world, this is one of Tolkien’s darkest unanswered mysteries.
