Khazad Dum

[Son of Fire]

I was wondering if Tolkien ever said anything about Moria after the War of the Ring, It seems that Gandalf hinted toward their repopulation when he said that Balin had tried to retake the mines before the time came, and also the gated of Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep were made of Mithril after the war of the ring, so it would seem that hey had somehow gotten ahold of it, perhaps through Morgoth's holds, but most likely (at least for me) they retook the mines after Durin's bane was destroyed by Gandalf. I don't know if any of you other uys have any ideas, but those were mine, the dwarves of erebor retook the mines and rebuilt the crumbling places and delved into the ground once more. Maybe another durin was born too, but I don't know because Tolkien never directly tells us.
