The Dwarves rallied to the word of the herald of Elessar. In Erebor, Thorin III Stonehelm, King Under the Mountain and he was known as "Aule's Visionary," the embodiment of Aule, the Vala of the Earth and Smith and Dwarves, in Middle Earth. He took together all the Dwarves of the Mountain and prepared the Kingdom of Dale for war. A legion of men and Dwarves rallied together, and sent heralds to all the other Kingdoms of the Dwarves. There would be a meeting at the High Pass.

The Dwarves of Ered Luin had begun to dig up more Mithril, and lead by the Dwarven Lord Durin VII, son of Thorin III Stonehelm, they began to march. Their forces were strong and powerful, and equipped with Mithril. They would be meeting up with the other Dwarven Empires at the High Pass to deliver mithril to the Dwarven Empire.

Dwalin set out from Moria with a cavern load of Mithril. He was delivering the Mithril to Annuminas, and from there he would go to the High Pass. He witnessed a portion of the battle against the Daleks near Moria, but quickly fled before the Daleks found him.

And finally, Lord Gloin from the Iron Hills would set out with his Iron and his legions of Dwarves. The largest army of Dwarves on this world was there, and equipped with Mithril, very few would seek to deny them what they thought was their right.

The Iron Might of the Dwarves would use their mithril to wipe out the Daleks. The High Pass was the meeting spot- and unbeknownst to the Dwarves, the Daleks knew this.
