Introduction to Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls.
The darkness dwells in Durin’s halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
With these haunting words, we are beckoned to cross the threshold into the ancient halls of Khazad-dûm. Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin is not just an expansion; it's an invitation to unravel the mysteries, face the shadows, and perhaps, reclaim the lost glory of Durin's folk.
The One Ring™ RPG and The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying
This new expansion is available for two iconic role-playing systems:
The One Ring™ RPG: Celebrated for its immersive storytelling and deep connection to Tolkien's lore, this award-winning game gets a significant boost with this new campaign module.
The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying (5E): Tailored for fans of the Fifth Edition, this version—titled Moria – Shadow of Khazad-dûm™—brings the same depth and adventure, blending seamlessly with the mechanics beloved by 5E players.

A World of Adventure
Set before Balin’s ill-fated expedition, this expansion allows you to explore a Moria that is ripe with possibility. The Orcs, devastated by the Battle of Five Armies, might have left the halls eerily empty—or perhaps danger still lurks, awaiting the bold.
Exploring the Depths of Moria
Deep beneath the roots of the Misty Mountains, the dwarves delved in search of Mithril, creating wonders illuminated by crystal lamps. But a thousand years ago, Durin’s Bane cast a shadow over these halls, turning them into a dark labyrinth inhabited by Orcs, Goblins, and far worse.
Now, hope rekindles. Dare to venture where even the Wise tread carefully. With Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin, each game can present a different face of Moria. Maybe your heroes seek the fabled Treasure Vault of Uruktharbun. Perhaps they’ll find it empty, or maybe it never existed. The true nature of Moria remains shrouded, to be discovered by those who venture into its depths.
