Note  54  Vildoran     (12/23/24 23:53)  The Depths of Moria

The Depths of Moria are now accessible to those of the bravest hearts

    "We have barred the gates ... can hold them long if ... horrible ... 
    suffer ... We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the

    five days ago ... the pool is up to the wall at Westgate. The
    Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes ...
    drums, drums in the deep ... They are coming.""

one terror they found. The greatest of those terrors is defeated - or
so it seems, but many more lurk in the depths at the roots of
Middle-earth.
