I guess Dwarves don't get out much.

also how did he not know the password to the gate of moria? has he never been there?

>>84189892
ME was a dangerous battlefield in that time and just going to an normal road would get you killed by raids of orcs or savage men.
its difficult to keep contact in that situation.
also that balin's expedition was to retake moria,they knew the place was fucked up.

no, he hasn't.

So were the Middle Ages, pretty sure the cousin of a great king would've heard if he and his kingdom got btfo'd anyway, cell phones or no.

You had to have a password just to get in.

I'd say they're probably self sufficient and hording all their wealth. They probably just meet up every once in a while or something in family reunions.

Obviously he'd not seen them in a long time, and hadn't ever actually been to Moria (otherwise he'd have known the passphrase to get in).
Logic isn't your strong point, is it?

Dwarves prefer a more personal touch.

The last they heard, the quest to retake Moria was going well, it makes since to assume all would be well by then.
