I was thinking shouldn’t there a some kind of religious space dedicated to mahal (Aule) in the mines?

Maybe Thorin’s Halls but not the smaller ones.

You should definitely copy a few of these for Thorin’s Halls!

Some time ago I played The Last Guardian on PS4, an awesome game. The atmosphere is beautiful and the building styles are nice to use as reference for Dwarven buildings or ruins. If you can (and like puzzle games) you should play it.

Or you can watch a walkthrough, here is a nice one with commentary: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9wpzJw8GKy7gjkMIh2vJVcveo5n3s8sI

According to this, each maried Dwarf’s family (with the eventual exception of noble families) should be quite big, with at least 5 children.

From @Glov’s plot on Darwin Reforged - would love this effect in Moria

Kinda technically dwarven, thought it could be good inspiration for orc-held cities like Mount Gundabad and Moria.
