Eye of Sauron - Mirrormere

Although Dwarven livelihood and culture is linked to the mountain, their legacy started in this lake. Close to the Eastern Gate, this is where Durin, the first of the Dwarves, looked into the waters and, upon seeing a crown above his head, took it as a sign and founded Khazad-dûm.


With grief burdening their hearts, the members of the Fellowship cross the waters on their way to Lothlórien, where they can be safe from Orcs.

Mines of Moria - Dimrill Dale Gate

Having lost their pursuers, the Fellowship flees through Moria’s biggest and oldest gate, located on the Eastern side of the Misty Mountains.

The crossing of the mountains is finally complete, yet at far too great a price: Gandalf has fallen into the dark rifts of Moria alongside the Balrog he tried to slay. The Fellowship must somehow push forward without the wizard’s help.

Mines of Moria - Durin's Bridge

This narrow bridge has been purposefully built to force any approaching enemies to walk in single file and thus create a bottleneck, leaving any attackers exposed and vulnerable. 

Led by Aragorn, the companions cross the bridge while Gandalf confronts the Balrog and tries to bar his passage and send him back to the shadows.

Mines of Moria - 2nd Hall

This hall is located on the level immediately below the Gate, and was the site of the battle that sealed the fate of the mines and marked the beginning of the Goblin occupation. Its awesome size can’t rightly be appreciated anymore as a chasm scars it and the pillars are heavily damaged.

Fleeing the Balrog, the Fellowship races toward the hall’s end. There, they hope to cross the bridge to safety.

Mines of Moria - Stairs Over Rift

The paths through Khazad-dûm are often treacherous and narrow, however, these steps over the Eastern Rift prove to be even more so as large stone sections are missing or are simply crumbling underfoot.

The Fellowship - The Prancing Pony

This cosy inn is owned by Barliman Butterbur and offers beer and hearty food for weary travellers, whether Hobbit or Man.

Here, the company’s relief fades when they realise that Gandalf has not reached the inn, nor did he leave a message.
