This reddish-gold metal is found throughout Eriador, especially in the highlands of Rhudaur, so it is not very valuable, and there is little trade in the commodity. Before the wars with the Witch-king, the Dwarves occasionally sent some to Tharbad for use as coin, but the production in Moria has never been unusually significant. Most of Moria's paer is used for watertroughs and basins, or in the production of the more durable evyth. Men use it for pots and pans, gutters, statues, wires, and roofing. It is too soft and malleable for Dwarven tastes, and Dwarves see little beauty or use in the metal. Unlike the Dwarves, the Noldor regard the metal more highly and like to use it as roofing for certain buildings and for pipes to carry water, as well as to make evyth.
