MoriaA name that evokes fear into many. Once an industrious kingdom of dwarves, it became overrun with Goblins when the dwarves accidentally let loose the Balrog from its subterranean prison. Balin made his last stand in Moria, but none knew for many years until Gimli with the Fellowship discovered his tomb. The journal tells of drums in the deep; a foreboding sound spurring on myriads of Goblins. |
