Everything is a muted shade of green, grey and white with elements of each spread throughout, think TV static. This was by far the hardest (and largest) puzzle me and my family have ever attempted. The individual pieces have very little information to go by and there is almost no contrast. My father's vision isn't the best and he was left to chase pieces by size and shape. Even though my vision is better it was really difficult to to guess what you were looking at when you look at an individual piece. It took us

The Lord of the Rings Sign in to your ScreenRant account Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series are likely curious when LOTR: Return To Moria takes place within the larger body of Tolkien's famous fictional world. The game was announced on Saturday, June 10 during the Epic Games Summer Showcase of Summer Game Fest 2022. It is one of many video games that have been inspired by the classic fantasy series. The Lord of the Rings series was first published in 1954 and 1955 and has inspired other novels, movies, games, and more since their publication. It is three of many novels that take place in the land of Middle Earth, along with The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and others covering the history of Middle Earth. Recent games include Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Middle Earth: Shadow of War. With so much history written by Tolkien about Middle Earth, it can be hard to keep track of exactly when things happened on the official timeline. The series includes four ages as well as the Years of the Trees, with the Lord Of The Rings books and The Hobbit taking place in the Third Age. While the main focus of those novels is on the One Ring, readers learn much about the races of Middle Earth as well, including the hobbits, elves, men, and dwarves. LOTR: Return To Moria Takes Place In Tolkien's Fourth Age LOTR: Return to Moria, a survival crafting game, takes place in the Fourth Age of Middle Earth; however, it takes a bit of digging to actually confirm this. Between 1983 and 1996 a 12-volume series titled The History of Middle Earth was published by J.R.R. Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien, compiling notes and stories that the author used to write his novels. In The History of Middle Earth, the following information is given: "... until there arose again for the last time an heir of that House that bore the name of Durin, and he returned to Moria; and there was light again in deep places...". This is corroborated by Tolkien Gateway's section on Moria. This information from The History of Middle Earth signifies LOTR: Return to Moria taking place in the fourth age, a few centuries in. The other LOTR game coming in 2022, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which was teased in 2020, takes place in the Third Age of Middle Earth, before the occurrences of The Hobbit. Having a Lord of the Rings video game take place so far beyond the scope of the Lord of the Rings series is something new for the franchise. Fans of the Lord of the Rings series, whether it be the novels, the movies, or the games, have a new experience to look forward to in LOTR: Return to Moria releasing in the Spring of 2023. Players will take on the role of dwarves rebuilding the Mines of Moria while discovering the secrets of the darkness within. Hopefully, the game will
