Goblin-gateThe eastern entrance to Goblin-townIn a narrow valley between two peaks in the eastern Misty Mountains, a short series of steps led up to a heavy stone door in the rockface. This was the Goblin-gate (also sometimes seen in the marginally different form 'Goblin Gate'),1 the eastern entrance to the underground domain of the Orcs known as Goblin-town. It was through this gate that Bilbo Baggins escaped during the Quest of Erebor, squeezing through the closing doorway and thus losing the buttons from his waistcoat. Notes
