Despite the woeful work of the Enemy’s vandals, the grandeur of Zelem-melek still endures. The tall passageways of the Terraced Halls defy the reach of Goblins. The glow of ancient, crystalline Dwarf-lamps cuts through the smoke of Orc bonfires. Vast halls and towering columns wrought by the Dwarves of old make the Enemy’s minions seem small and petty—at least from afar.

Zelem-melek, as one of the great works of the Dwarves, endures on its own. But to persist in this time of Shadow, it needs heroes willing to brave the hordes and scratch out victories, big and small, amid the chill and the darkness beneath the earth.

The way into Zelem-melek, from the Great Delving to the west, stands crowded with Goblin camps defiling the once-noble halls of the Dwarves.

Travelers entering Moria through the West-gate, in Hollin, may come to Zelem-melek by way of the direct route. Moving due east through the Great Delving, they find themselves under the gaze of the ever-watching, stone eyes of ancestral Dwarves carved into the walls surrounding the entryway to this place. The way leads over the narrow bridge called the Lonely Span, straight into the Terraced Halls.

These proud passageways, though largely intact, now echo with the stomps of Orc and Goblin feet. Be wary. Make haste to the northernmost edge of Zelem-melek, where a shaft of sunlight falls through the stone to break the gloom. This is the Twenty-first Hall, which you’ll come to know well.

Travelers who circle around, taking the longer road through Durin's Way, enter Zelem-melek from the North. That path lets out at the Twenty-first Hall too. To reach Zelem-melek, as the Dwarves say, all roads pass through the Twenty-first Hall...
