When the Dwarves were forced to abandon Moria, to retreat before the terror of Durin’s Bane, the Silvertine Lodes were left dark and empty for many lifetimes. They scratched away at the dignity of the mines until little was left but a pit in the earth. But the Dwarves of Moria kept digging, beyond caution or reason, mad in their pursuit of mithril, until the Silvertine Lodes were all but exhausted.

While it's informative when the dev diaries focus on gameplay, it's post like this that bring Tolkien's amazing world to the forefront. These guides are always entertaining and full of lore. Now it gapes like a hole not just in the earth but in the image of Khazad-dûm. This deep place, known as the Silvertine Lodes, once glittered with ore and shone with the light of crystal lamps glinting off raw mithril. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.With the first Mines of Moria patch now live, the Lord of the Rings Online team found it to be a good time to publish its newest hero's guide, which takes us through the Silvertine Lodes.ĭeep in the belly of the great Misty Mountain peak called Celebdil by the Elves, Zirak-zigil by the Dwarves, and Silvertine by Men, one of the great quarries of Khazad-dûm lays in shadow and dust, waiting for its restoration, waiting for the echoes of pick-axes and miners’ songs to fill its empty caverns and tunnels once more.
