Balin led an expedition to reclaim Moria in T.A. 2989 - that’s 12 years before Bilbo’s birthday (T.A. 3001). Balin died in T.A. 2994, and the colony perished shortly after.

I would suggest rewriting the part of your story that references Moria. Maybe something along the lines of “''If you do not wish to brave the mountains, the Dwarf-halls of Moria are always an option. Although, we have not received any word from any of our kin there for some time..''
