Hero's guide to Moria's Silvertine Lodes
To fully conquer the Silvertine Lodes in Lord of the Rings Online's Mines of Moria, you must first understand them. This has been the goal of all Moria Hero's Guides written by Turbine, and this latest one is no exception.The deep Silvertine Lodes were once a great resource for mithril and stone used in building the fortresses throughout Moria and funding its expansion. Now, the area is mined dry of mithril and overrun by dark forces. Most of your adventures in this area will revolve around saving lost travelers or defeating the Goblin infestation, but regardless of the task, your presence is sorely needed. Take a look at the complete five-page Hero's Guide to Silvertine Lodes, as well as all previous Hero's Guides in the collection.
