Cover/Jacket Text:

This package details all of the DWARVEN CITY OF KHAZAD-DUM and includes 7 Deeps (levels and sublevels) maps and cross-section diagrams of both the city and the mines, diagrams of traps, machines and forging implements, large-scale detailed floorplans of specific areas: the Chamber of Marzarbul, the Endless Stair, Durin's Bridge, and the Entry Halls, information on Durin's tribe, three Orc tribes, the many creatures who later inhabit Moria, and, of course, the BALROG.

Deep within the bowels of the central Misty Mountains lies Moria, the "Black Chasm". Here stood Khazad-Dum (Kh. "Dwarf-mansion") the kingdom of the noblest Lord of the Seven Tribes of Dwarves, a city sculpted from rock and embellished by the finest hall-builders of their day. Within its recesses Durin's folk mined precious metals and discovered mithril, the "true-silver".

Now its chambers are dark and its builders gone. Tales speak of a Balrog, a "Demon of Might" which once served the Black Enemy Morgoth.

Bats and wolves and deadly traps await those daring few who seep the treasures buried deep in the still, dank chambers of the Black Chasm.

Although i don`t own this book, and i was gonna but it on eBay, this 32-page module looks like the best adventure site in Middle Earth!
Moria is a Dwarf-Dungeon/Mine and is NOT like any other D&D lark book.
This cover is from the scenes in the Bakshi movie:)

I am in awe of the amount of research and thought that went into creating this work. I bought it simply because Moria is one of my favorite parts of the books and I wanted more information on it. (I have neverplayed MERP). I`m sure ICE does a fantastic job with all their MERP material, but this one was a stand-out. The maps of the levels of moria are a little abstract, but overall, the level of detail and the adherence to TOlkien are fabulous.
