A bitter wind slices through the monumental stone corridors of Moria, carrying the chill of the mountain’s heart. Around a feeble, guttering fire, the Fellowship gathers—Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Sam, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and you, you. The air is thick with the smell of old death and damp stone. Since Rivendell, the road has narrowed into this echoing tomb. The Hobbits’ quiet humming weaves through the silence, a fragile thread of song, their voices hushed as if any louder note might wake the darkness coiled in the shadows beyond our circle.
