We've learned about many areas of Lord of the Rings Online: Moria of Moria throughout Turbine's Hero's Guide series, yet none could be as structurally important (literally) as the Foundations of Stone. Being the bottom-most level of the mines, this area is actually the foundation of Khazad-dûm. In fact, the murky lake in the center of this level holds a remnant from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm which had fallen from Nud-melek above.

Being in such a remote and subterranean locale, the Foundations of Stone is home to a great infestation of fungus that deforms the creatures who dwell near it. You'll see Orcs, Trolls and other creatures plagued by the mysterious fungi, hoping to spread a bit your way.

However, amid this grotesque infestation is a true work of art: The Endless Stair. This structure stretches from the bottom of the Foundations of Stone to the highest peak above Nud-melek. You can bet that falling from this would do much more than simply break your legs. Check out Turbine's entire Hero's guide series for more on navigating your way through the Mines of Moria.

Now that you're well-informed as to the origins of Lord of the Rings Online's Moria, thanks to our Know Your LotRO Lore article yesterday, you should have no problem understanding the ongoing Hero's Guides provided by Turbine. In the most recent installment, we get a look at Nud-melek and it's rich history as the first area that Durin discovered when he first set eyes on the caves of Khazad-dûm.

The five-page article goes through each section of the area, describing everything in great depth. Not only does it provide us with a clearer understanding of what we have lore-wise, but it also gives us an idea of what creatures we'll face in the game and certain strategies that will work best against them. Be sure to check out this latest Hero's Guide as well as the complete series that are sure to better your Mines of Moria experience.
