The Hero's Guide series has received another chapter over at the Lord of the Rings Online official site, and we haven't moved too far from the last outing at Zelem-melek; this time around, the guide covers the expansive Great Delving, fleshing out the lore of the area and describing it for those that are planning on visiting. The Delving in fact consists of three main areas, including Durin's Threshold, Dolven-view, and Lamâb-dûm, and it's almost certain that you'll spend time in them as you work your way through the expansion.

As with much of Moria, the formerly friendly territory now plays host to all sorts of foul inhabitants -- among them, camps of odd white Goblins, and "poison-spitting centipedes the size of horses" -- but that should be music to the ears of any brave adventurer looking for work, right? We continue to be impressed with the amount of quality lore that gets crammed into the articles from the Hero's Guide series, and if you're at all a fan of what you see here, do yourself a favor and have a look at some of the other entries that Turbine has previously posted.

In this week's Hero's Guide for Lord of the Rings Online's Mines of Moria, we get an in-depth look at Zelem-melek. This area is just east of the Great Delving and the first spot you can venture when taking a rented goat mount in the mines themselves. If you choose to explore from the Hollin Gate to Zelem-melek, be aware of many Orcs and Goblins in your path.

This Hero's guide explains much more than what creatures you will face, though. We get a look at the lore and history behind this vast area, as well as the best methods for navigating its crumpled ruins. You can also check out some of our previous coverage on these areas through Turbine's video trailers, released prior to Mines of Moria's launch. If you're new to this Hero's Guide series, check out the complete collection and stay tuned for more!
