Reclaim Moria, the home of the dwarves

Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer, players control a group of dwarves who are tasked with retrieving the lost loot from the dwarven homeland of Moria - also known as Khazad-dûm and Dwarrowdelf - in the depths below. Their search will require great courage as they must delve deep into the mines of Moria to recover the treasures. In the procedurally generated dwarven kingdom of Moria, every adventure is new and you can undertake each expedition alone or online with companions. Mine minerals to craft better equipment and resources, but be careful: mining is loud and can awaken dangers that lie deep beneath you: noise means Battle. Explore the secrets of three legendary mountains, mine valuable metals, mine to survive, and battle untold forces to uncover the secret of the shadow that lurks in the depths.
