LotRO: Mines of Moria Expansion Artwork Makes Me Giddy

If you have not figured out that I am extremely excited over the Mines of Moria expansion for Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, then I am not as easy to see through as I initially thought.

Every time a screen comes out for the game, it is a constant reminder that Fall is just a scant few weeks away and I will soon be able to see the enormous underground Dwarven complex with its vast network of tunnels, chambers, mines and huge halls deep within the Misty Mountains. Just think of all the neat places within Moria that are part of Tolkien lore that we will be privy to: The Doors of Durin, Dimrill Gate, Chamber of Mazarbul, the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, the Tomb of Balin, the Endless Stair and many more could be included within this expansion - the possibilities for adventure and danger are endless.

This new artwork depicts some of the environments and monsters to be added with the expansion, as well as non-player characters (Durin VI and Nain) and the first new classes to be introduced since LptRO’s launch (Rune-keeper and Warden).
