DARE NOT DISAPPOINT Lan-dùnan, T.A. 1976 Abb sat in the dust and ashes outside the tower of Lan-dùnan. The stonework was very good. His people had learned much about the craft from the Tall-men of the old kingdom, but he doubted even they could match the handiwork here. And this was just an old armory, long abandoned and taken by the Ruadh when his ancestors...

After over 5 years of LOTRO Academy podcast episodes, we’ve decided that 2016 was the time to make some changes to the format of the show, the biggest of which is our brand new live show which will debut on The Players Alliance mixlr next Friday (January 29th) at 7:30 PM CST. Intended to serve as a replacement for the long-running Last Week In LOTRO segment, the new show will be called LOTRO Academy: After School, and will air on the last Friday of the month. These episodes will then be added to the podcast feed on the following Wednesday.

This will be our first attempt at a live broadcast of LOTRO Academy and we’d love for you all to join us in the chatroom for our debut episode of LOTRO Academy: After School. The exact live show format is likely to change as we go along, but one of the primary goals is to allow for a live Questions and Answers segment. So if you have questions for the LOTRO Academy team, you’ll be able to ask us live! We’ll do our best to answer any questions you have about LOTRO and if we don’t know the answer immediately, we’ll be happy to do the research to get your questions answered in a future episode of the LOTRO Academy podcast!

We plan to start the broadcast as soon as we can after the Academy Field Trip on Arkenstone, which means the broadcast may start up to half an hour before the official start of the episode. I hope to see you there on Friday. Come early and you can join us for our pre-show banter.

Part 76 –Mesmerizing Musings “Come hither, son of Athegdir,” the old man in the glade beckoned Theomin. He was very old, wrinkles told of an ancient being in front of Theomin. His beard stretched down to this belt, covered by a brown cap with markings on it and straps that dangled down to the mid of his chest. Brown with a chest cloth of purple where his robes...
