In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, The Endless Stair rose from the lowest dungeon of Moria to Durin's Tower at the summit of Celebdil. The Endless Stair was of such legendary status among Dwarves that some considered that it had never existed, but Gandalf confirmed its existence to Gimli when he recounts his battle with Durin's Bane (a balrog). Durin's Tower and the top of the Stair were destroyed in that struggle. The height of the Endless Stair is not known exactly, but Gandalf in his account to Gimli states that it climbed many thousands of steps in an unbroken spiral.
In Christopher's Paolini's book Eragon, Alagaësian dwarves have a similar structure, called Vol Turin, translated as "the Endless Staircase."
