Moria™ – Through The Doors of Durin
Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin is an epic campaign expansion delving into the depths of Khazad-dûm for the award-winning second edition of The One Ring™ roleplaying game (TOR), based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Set in the years before Balin’s doomed expedition, this supplement contains a hoard of Patrons, Landmarks, foes, encounters and treasures that a Loremaster can use to construct their own adventures in Moria – from a single desperate journey in the dark to a grand campaign to retake Durin’s Halls.
For long ages, the great city of the Dwarrowdelf was the seat of Dwarven kings, and they were rich beyond measure in gold and Mithril. But a thousand years ago, Durin’s Bane arose and drove the Dwarves from their halls. The city fell into darkness, becoming an abode of Orcs, Goblins – and worse.
Countless Orcs perished in the Battle of Five Armies. Maybe the Halls of Durin lie empty once more. Maybe there are piles of treasure there, waiting to be claimed. Maybe Mithril still glimmers in the mines under Caradhras. Cross the dread threshold, adventurer, and delve deep!

The big book of Moria. This is the biggest supplement for 2nd Edition so far, being as big as the core book. There's a lot of information here for incorporating Moria into a The One Ring campaign, whether as the main focus, or as a place the company visits on their journeys. It's the usual mix of factions, plots, and locations: just more of them.
The vast majority of the book covers things in the default time period of 2nd Edition, but there is some discussion of Moria in other time periods. There's also the solo rules which are specifically set in a slightly later time period, and focus on members of Balin's expedition. They look quite fun, and if I ever do play this game solo, I will probably use them.
I don't think this book is required for a campaign set in Eriador, unlike The One Ring: Ruins of The Lost Realm or Tales from the Lone-Lands, but it's a nice addition, and probably more necessary for a campaign focused on Hands of the White Wizard which takes place largely in regions closer to Moria, and would be more likely to delve into there.

A really great book that goes too deep (though not too greedily) into Moria and its lore, with a multitude of places of interest, the various parties that live in Moria or want to retake it, as well as a solo campaign mechanic to have your own expedition to retake Moria.
As always, the writing is superb, taking all of Tolkien's notes and mentions and expanding them with care and remaining faithful to the spirit of the source material. A great read for any Tolkien fan, especially fans of Dwarves like myself.
5/5
