Description:

For 1.11.5 and LotR: Realms in Exile – Open Beta

• Search for Durin’s Axe and Durin’s Helm via a unique decision
  
  • By default, you have a 5% chance of finding one of the artifacts
  • Improve your chances of finding the artifacts by:
    
    • Holding more provinces in Moria
    • Reestablishing Moria’s duchies and kingdom titles
    • Increasing your Stewardship and Diplomacy traits
  • Controlling more of Moria and having a good handle on running you realm and interacting with your vassals/followers will help you find the artifacts faster
• Take the fight to Durin’s Bane via a unique decision
  
  • By default, you have a 0% chance of victory
  • Improve your chances of victory by:
    
    • Holding more provinces in Moria
    • Converting settlements to Delvings
    • Reestablishing Moria’s duchies and kingdom titles
    • Having a military strength stronger than the combined military strength of all the Orc and Goblin rulers in Moria
    • Increasing your Martial and Prowess traits
    • Have found and have equipped Durin’s Axe and/or Durin’s Helm
  • You really shouldn’t take the fight to Balrog unless you have an army to back you up, that you are wielding Durin’s legendary artifacts, and you’ve cleared out Orcs and Goblins
    
    • Unlike the movie, in the official lore, the Balrog commands the Orcs and Goblins: it will call them to fight if you attack it
    • Durin’s artifacts are powerful and will greatly increase your chances of defeating the Balrog
    • Fighting the Balrog requires strategy and attacking it head on might not be the best idea
      
      • Having high military scores will help with leading your troops in a strategic manner
      • Controlling more of Moria will allow you to maneuver your troops, set traps, and avoid ambushes
  • If you defeat the Balrog, you’ll:
    
    • Gain the Kingdom Title for Khazad-Dum
    • Gain the nickname Moria’s Bane
    • Be the baddest Dwarve in all the land

• If you haven’t faced the Balrog after 50 years of having a foothold in Moria, it will attack you
  
  • The same rules for victory apply to this event as to the unique decision
  • You’ll receive the same rewards if you survive and come out victorious
• New Game Rule called Durin Reborn: Start with Durin’s Helm and Axe
  
  • Default Option is OFF, which makes it where you have to use the decision to find the Helm and Axe
  • The ON option will get rid of the decision and you start with the Helm and Axe in your inventory
• I’ve kept my visuals for the Axe and Helm, but have switched the modifiers and flavor text to match what’s in the main LotR mod
• There’s a new Casus Belli type called Reestablishing Khazad-dum that allows you to attack any Orc or Goblin for all of their lands in Moria if you are Dwarve and border their realm inside Moria
