Hello friends and welcome to the 12th edition of LOTRO Poems. Yes I am back after a little break. I was busy with studies and work and volunteering, so just didn’t have enough time to write much. However I did hop into the game every now and then to play my new bearman. I love the concept but my only complain is that I want my beorning to be taller in man...

Within the world of LOTRO, the ice bay of Forochel is unique. When it was first added in April 2008, the region represented a solo-friendly area for acquiring end game loot and weapons prior to the launch of Moria.(1) With subsequent expansions, the region has suffered very much the same fate as the Misty Mountains, becoming a region that while once...

In the summer of 2012, while the North America servers were fishing and betting on drunken dwarf races, players in Europe were enjoying a very different summer experience. While both regions were partaking in the Summer Festival, the EU servers were given an additional special event: the Summer of War.(1) During the Summer of War, Codemasters, who ran the EU...

If you have spent any amount time around Thorin’s Gate in Erin Luid, especially down by the Stable Master, you have no doubt noticed a nearby doorway. If, like me, you enjoy exploring the world of Tolkien, you have wandered over to the door, your mind already busily imagining what sort of mysteries could lie behind it. Could it be a vault full of forgotten...

Welcome to Forgotten LOTRO Lore, where each fortnight I’ll be taking a look at an aspect of LOTRO which new players might not be aware of, and which old players may have forgotten about. This week we look at the Fashion Maven event, where Turbine would reward the best (and worst) dressed players throughout Middle-earth. The Fashion Maven event looks to have...

Hail Friends! Welcome to the 11th edition of LOTRO Players on our very own brand new site domain! Woohoo!

Hail Friends! Welcome to the 10th edition of LOTRO Poems!!! Casual Raiders did a lot of raiding this week. We did Ost Dunhoth a bunch of times and also Battle for Erebor and Fires of Smaug.

Hello Friends! Welcome to the sixth edition of LOTRO Poems. This week’s poem is called ‘Casual Stroll’ and its a very special poem to me. It’s inspired by Tolkien’s poem ‘Errantry’.

Hello Friends! Welcome to the fifth edition of LOTRO Poems.. Five awesome weeks of writing for you all has been a great experience. I didn’t think the poems would be read on the LOTRO Players News podcast as well but it’s been a hoot listening to Pineleaf read them all with passion. If I had some more musical editing skills, I would definitely make...

Hello Friends! Welcome to the fourth edition of LOTRO Poems! This week was one busy week for me. This week I led some raids and also made kin rules for my kin on Brandywine.

This song I am going to present is a song called Gil Galad. Originally it was called Amon Sul, and it was made for 3 years ago, before we joined Weatherstock for the first time. When years have gone by, we have used it under different names, and one of them was Gil-galad. The reason for this namechange was that we needed some new Lyrics to one of my songs, to a...

There has been a while since I have posted some of the music we make that are Lord of the rings themed. This song has been on The Shades repertoire for quite sometime. One of the Shades members Eovina hummed this tune to me once, so I asked her what song it was, and she said: “it was just a song I came up with now” so that was the beginning of...
