Seven sacred jewels they were, brilliant and scintillating even in the dark, and they were housed in the very stone of this throne for centuries.

But that was long ago, and the Zabad'ibîn have been stolen away during the years of our absence by persons unknown.
- 'I did not truly expect to find otherwise, but the sight of this plain stone is like a dagger in my heart, <name>, as it is in yours. Recovering the gems and returning them to their pride of place in the Steepset would mean a great deal to me, for it would signal that treasures long thought lost could come back to us.'
- Durin: 'The reclamation of Gundabad has begun. That will have to be enough... for now.'
