Years of being called pig by the man of Bree hasn’t made Noffer anymore of a lover of the hobbits. “It’s the hobbits that always make the mess”, not us!

99 instances ago the Abyss of mordath was just an unnamed raid. Throne of the Dread terror  was the latest one in Middle-Earth that we could run.

As the fellowship makes it way back from Saurons home theater room they encounter a contingent of dwarves.

Part 2 of the angmar experience is mostly travel across time, “old-school” and (technically not) first Raid instance in lotro.
