Beyond the shadow it waits for you still…
Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin is an epic campaign expansion delving into the depths of Khazad-dûm for the award-winning second edition of The One Ring™ roleplaying game (TOR), based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. This compendium will also be published in a version for the 5E edition The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying, under the title Moria – Shadow of Khazad-dûm™.
For long ages, the great city of the Dwarrowdelf was the seat of Dwarven kings, and they were rich beyond measure in gold and Mithril. But a thousand years ago, Durin’s Bane arose and drove the Dwarves from their halls. The city fell into darkness, becoming an abode of Orcs, Goblins – and worse.
Countless Orcs perished in the Battle of Five Armies. Maybe the Halls of Durin lie empty once more. Maybe there are piles of treasure there, waiting to be claimed. Maybe Mithril still glimmers in the mines under Caradhras. Cross the dread threshold, adventurer, and delve deep!

Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin, written by seasoned game writer and author Gareth Hanrahan and overseen by Francesco Nepitello, is the biggest expansion yet for The One Ring™. Some of the contents:
Moria™ – Through the Doors of Durin describes the city of the Dwarves and the surrounding lands as they were in the last years of the Third Age. For each region of Moria, we describe Landmarks, factions and non-player characters that the Loremaster can use as desired.
There is no ‘true’ Moria — in one game, maybe the great quest of the heroes is to loot the fabled Treasure Vault of Uruktharbun. In another, the treasure vault might have lain broken and empty for a thousand years; in another, it never existed at all. Moria is to be explored cautiously; even the Wise cannot trust their memories in this place.
Moria – Through the Doors of Durin and Moria – Shadow of Khazad-dûm are beautifully illustrated by Antonio De Luca, Giuditta Betti, Federica Costantini, Michele Galavotti, and Niklas Brandt. These hardback volumes will be printed on top quality paper, and, if stretch goals are unlocked, will include a separate Moria map, book ribbons, and more.
The Lead Writer: Gareth Hanrahan’s three-month break from computer programming to concentrate on writing has now lasted twenty years and counting. He’s written more gaming books than he can readily recall, by virtue of the alchemical transmutation of tea and guilt into words.
Following the example of the unique Collector’s Edition of The One Ring™, we’re delighted to offer the same for Moria – Through the Doors of Durin and Moria – Shadow of Khazad-dûm. These deluxe volumes are bound in faux leather with silver foil-stamped adornments. The Collector’s Editions are exclusive to this Kickstarter and will never be printed again.
If you want to go all-in on the Moria experience, the Deluxe Bundle reward offers your choice of Collector’s Edition, the large Moria cloth map (format 100 x 65 cm), and an exclusive art print (format 216 mm x 279 mm) by John Howe, one of the chief conceptual designers for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
The One Ring™ is the official tabletop roleplaying game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, designed by Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi and published by Free League in partnership with Sophisticated Games and Middle-earth Enterprises.
Created specifically to evoke the atmosphere of The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, the game contains rules for creating heroes and sending them off on adventures in a land threatened by the growing Shadow.
The second edition of The One Ring™ was released last year to universal acclaim. The beautifully illustrated, full-color hardcover manual presents Middle-earth as it was twenty years after Bilbo Baggins’ remarkable disappearance and unexpected return. The great events narrated in The Lord of the Rings™ are still fifty years away, leaving plenty of room to narrate stories worthy of an epic.
“By firmly setting The One Ring within a microcosm of a massive, familiar world, the book pushes the narrative beyond the traditional hero’s journey.” –Polygon
“Must play. A staggeringly beautiful adaptation of Middle-earth.” –Tabletop Gaming Magazine
“The One Ring is the ideal RPG for those looking to venture back into a familiar fantasy world, while also getting the chance to discover and explore new corners of Middle-earth as their own creations.” –Dicebreaker
The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying is a brand new adaptation of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien using the rules for 5E.
Based on the second edition of The One Ring™ roleplaying game, The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying contains everything you need to create exciting adventures set in the world’s most popular fantasy setting – six original heroic cultures from the land of Eriador, six new classes, a host of terrifying adversaries, and comprehensive rules for journeys, councils, wondrous artifacts, and the subtle magic of Middle-earth.
“The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying changes the mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons to provide memorable adventures in a low-magic setting where exploration and fellowship is as important as combat.” –IGN (Editor’s Choice, score 9/10)
“If you are a regular player of Dungeons & Dragons and have a desire to tread the lands of Eriador this manual is absolutely for you.” –No Dice Unrolled
“For those wanting to bring Middle-earth to their diehard 5E group, The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying is the only game in town and an outstanding one at that.” –RPG.Net Review
