This forum is for discussion of the games, news, and features of the Unlock the Mines of Moria site at http://www.unlocktheminesofmoria.com

This server is named for the white jewel that was the greatest treasure of the Kings of Erebor. For over 150 years, Smaug kept it as part of his hoard, until Bilbo Baggins found it. It now lies entombed at the Lonely Mountain with the remains of Thorin Oakenshield.

This server gets its name from two well-known things in Middle-earth, the Brandywine Bridge and the Brandywine River (also known as the Baranduin). The Brandywine River acts as a border on the east of the Shire, except for Buckland.

This server's name is also known as the Star of Elendil, which was the name given to two white precious jewels. The first jewel was attached to a jacket of mithril and was worn by Elendil and his heirs instead of a crown. It was later lost and a second was made, which was worn by the Kings.

This server is named for the steed of Éomer, the Third Marshal of the Riddermark. One of Rohan’s finest horses, Firefoot bore both Éomer and Gimli to Helm’s Deep, and later led the charge against the mûmakil at the Pelennor Fields.

This server has the name of two important places in Middle-earth, Gladden Fields and Gladden River. Gladden Fields was once a place where hobbits lived and the place where Sméagol (or Gollum), and Déagol came from. Gladden River was the river where Isildur was ambushed and killed by Orcs.

This server shares its name with one of the Great Eagles. Landroval was the brother of Gwaihir, the Lord of the Eagles during the War of the Ring, and was one of the Eagles who saved Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom. Gandalf also claimed that he was fastest of the Eagles of the Misty Mountains.

This server bears the name of a cold, shallow stream that flows from the Misty Mountains into the River Silverlode on the western borders of Lórien. It is also the name of an Elf-maid of Lórien, whose love for the Elf-king Amroth ended in tragedy.

This server is the name of what Men call the River Celebrant and, contrary to popular belief, doesn't have very much to do with Dwarves. Silverlode River runs from Mirrormere in the Dimrill Dale, through Lorien, and into the Anduin River.

This server is named after the Ring of Air, the mightiest of the Three Rings of the Elves, owned first by Gil-galad, who later gave it to Elrond. Made of gold and set with a large sapphire, it helps Elrond preserve the beauty of Rivendell.

This server shares its name with Eowyn's grey horse. Windfola was the horse who carried Eowyn and Merry into the Battle of Pelennor Fields, but when scared by the fell beast, the horse ran away.

PREVIEW SERVER: Roheryn contains game content which is not yet ready for the live worlds, and requires a separate installation of the LOTRO client to play. For information on connecting to Roheryn, click here.

This server’s name is taken from the horse of Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Shaggy, proud, and strong, it was a gift from his lady-love, Arwen Undómiel, and brought to him in Rohan by Halbarad of the Grey Company. He rode it for the rest of the war, into the Paths of the Dead and onward.
