 The downstair is always in the room at the southwest corner of the map, which is connected to a small [[graveyard]]; past this graveyard is a warehouse with 5+2d4 random objects. The warehouse is connected to the main hallway, with the main gate at its rightmost end; across from the warehouse is the "Twenty-First Hall". To the right of this Hall, there is an altar room, and to its left is a treasure room; past the treasure room is "The Chamber of Mazarbul" which contains various [[chest]]s and a [[grave]] with the epitaph "Balin, Son of Fundin, Lord of Moria".
-On the other side of the main gate is a [[melon]] and a engraving that can only be read at night: "Speak, friend, and enter". ("Mellon" is elvish for "friend".) The path outside leads to a lake that contains the [[Watcher in the Water]], a unique kraken-like [[sea monster]] that always carries an uncursed [[magic lamp]]).

 '''The Ruins of Moria''' is a dungeon branch in [[UnNetHack]], modeled after the Mines of Moria from [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy. It has six levels.
-In contrast to the book, the player explores Moria from the bottom up, eventually reaching the West-gate of Moria (also known as [[lotr:Doors of Durin|the Doors of Durin]]). During the journey, the player will find both masses of [[Orc (monster class)|orcs]], often with enchanted gear, and vast riches.

 There are six levels in the Ruins of Moria, numbered from the bottom-most one up. Minus the third, every level contains one or two [[cursed]] [[scroll of teleportation|scrolls of teleportation]] named "Word of Recall"; this is an ''[[Angband]]'' reference.

-The second, “ruined” version of the Doors of Durin is less bountiful than its counterpart. The Twenty-First Hall is filled with corpses instead of its normal contents, and the eight chests in the treasure room each only have a {{frac|2}} chance of spawning. The altar room has a boulder place of the altar; the ice box, iron safes, and large boxes each only have a {{frac|3|4}} chance of generating. The statues in the Chamber of Mazarbul are smashed into piles of up to 25 rocks, and 12-22 boulders are scattered around the level; each boulder has a {{frac|10}} chance of being replaced with a rock at level creation, and all non-secret doors have a chance of being replaced with boulders. The lake that the Watcher in the Water dwells in has 'flooded' enough for the waters to reach just outside the main gate.
