We are now in the darkness.
Even in his enthusiasm for the works of old of his folk, Gramdrim seems
to take some pause at the danger here, though I think he means this
caution to seem instead to be awe at the great works. While I am
not a lover of works of cold stone, there is a majesty in the works
here,
even though partly in ruin. The folk of Durin are no slackards,
now nor especially in their (to them) distant past. Great
columns, carvings, and works are seen at every turn, and all are truly
amazing. At least at the entrance to this place, the great evil
that may still dwell here is not seen.

The Mines of Moria are an enormous place, filled to the brim with
goblins and other dangerous creatures. But the first thing you do
when entering Moria is start small. The very entrance of Moria is
known as "Durin's Threshold". In here, you get some quests
that send you to other areas of Moria, and also some quests introducing
you to Moria previous tenants, goblins. Most of these are not too
hard, simply make sure you are ready for some fighting, and learn to
travel carefully. There are guides in Moria who help you get form
point A to point B without too much trouble.

We are in the pit of Moria, myself and Gramdrim. While I follow
my good friend into the darkness after assisting his worthy dwarven
kin, I fear indeed the darkness that is said to dwell here. For
not all evil ends in years.

last! Though it is dark and there are foul things here, we have
opened the very doors of Khazad Dum, and I walk upon the stones that
Durin walked in his day, that my forefathers once knew. Even
Iorfariel seems awed by the majesty of these times.

Túbi Thickfist has asked you to locate the goblin-camp.
Kambi, wounded in the storehouse above Durin's Threshold, spoke of the
ramblings of a maddened goblin-chieftain. Túbi Thickfist wants
this tribe's camp found as soon as possible.
(Found at 7.8S, 114.2W and

The goblin-camp lies in the tunnels beyond the crack above the eastern
stair.
The dwarves want to end the goblins' reign over the tunnels below to
ensure the safety and security of their foothold.
(Author's Note: The
Messenger is found at 7.7S, 114.4W.
Head to the camp at 7.8S, 114.2W, you might want to bring
friends. The goblins are only level 51, but you face them in
groups of 4 sometimes.)

seen everywhere. Take a cave, seal it with no entrance or exit
for a hundred years. Open it up and you will find the foul things
festering in the darkness. Luckily, I have the perfect cure for
the beasts, my axe!

To reach the Dolven-view from Durin's Threshold, head east through
twisting caverns into the Great Delving. Once there, head into east
into the cavern and then south up a short stair followed by a long
upwards slope lit by torches -- this path leads to the Dolven-view.
Immediately upon reaching the Dolven-view proper, turn south and exit
the cavern through a hewn tunnel, this will lead through the Stone
Council chamber into the Silvertine Lodes -- just a short ways south of
there you should come upon the Deep Descent expedition.
Athils has instructed you to find the Deep Descent expedition and speak
with Thalfar.
(Author's Note: Thalfar is at
9.8S, 112.7W.)

Fractured Crystal
Great Delving, 8.4S, 114.5W
crystals can be found
within Moria, but this one seems different than the others. Darkened by
time and appearing burned out, perhaps there is something to be learned
from this crystal fallen from a Moria Orc.

Falgir is at the Deep Descent.
You should bring the crystal you found to a dwarf who might know of
such things.

on the progress of the Dwarven expedition at the Chamber of the
Crossroads, in Durin's Way. Once there, you should speak with
Líkmund.
To reach the Chamber of the Crossroads, head east through twisting
caverns into the Great Delving. Once there, you must find your way to
the northern end of the cavern, and cross the great bridge that passes
through the Dwarf-lords' Gate. After the gate, you'll turn west, then
north, then east - each in short order. This should bring you to the
Chamber of the Crossroads.
(Author's Note: You can run
this at 50 is you are careful and don't
mess around with the higher level creatures. Likmund is at 5.1S,
112.1W)

Moria. My heart, while still oppressed in these shadows, yet
lightens. While goblins, rampant insects, and other things
lurk here, no sign at all of the evil known as Durin's Bane is
found. Is it too much to hope this remains the case?
