News sources:

This listing brings together information from numerous sources around the LOTRO world, and I’d like to focus on one of those sources today.  Auenländer Wochenblatt gives a roundup of all the Belegaer news every week.  It’s a fascinating look at events on the German language RP server that has grown to include additional sections for travelogues and poetry.   The screenshots are always lovely to look at no matter what language you speak.
