Earlier this year I began a fully-voiced video series through Pelennor Fields.  43 episodes later, I finished the series. The Battle of Pelennor Fields is by far the most epic thing in LOTRO!  The focused story along with the sheer loss created an experience wholly original to LOTRO.  While there were many annoying side quests, the experience at Pelennor Fields...
