Down each tunnel or corridor in Moria is a new discovery, and the Silvertine Lodes area is full of them. Whether it be an abandon set of rails for minecarts or intricate carvings in stone, there are plenty of sights to behold.
Carvings in the Stone
Dwarves have fashioned magnificent carvings among the stone walls of Moria; fom simple line patterns to intricate larger-than-life rendering of dwarves.

Mysterious Doors
Doors. There are so many doors in the depths of Moria. Some of them can be passed through and others remain a mystery.

Rails
The Silvertine Mines wouldn’t be completed without the minecart rails. While in disarray now, when in use the rails aided the dwarves as they delved deeper into the depths.

Nice pictures. Although the silvertone lodes has been responsible for much cursing. Even with the co-ordinates I can’t find melem-munz to finish my deed. Aaaaargh.

That might be the one that’s right at the top of the central pillar thingie. You can get up there from near where you find Frik (Flik?) the dwarf that has the escort quest.

Melem-Munz ist quite easy. There is a dwarf you need to protect. jump near his original position onto the platform below and run around on this level … that’s it.
