Coming in June!!

Shores of Evendim

The First Update to The Lord of the Rings Onlineâ„¢

The greatest fantasy of all time continues to expand!

Beginning in June, heroes can adventure to the Shores of Evendim, the first of many free updates to The Lord of the Rings Onlineâ„¢.

About 100 miles north of the Shire, in northern Eriador, lies Evendim, a vast region dominated by the Lake Nenuial; the ‘Lake of the Twilight’. On the southern shore, the ancient abandoned city of Annúminas —the former capital of the kingdom of Arnor  is well known amongst the Free Peoples. For according to the Legends, amidst its ruins lay a great wealth and powerful artifacts now threatened by evil creatures and the nefarious forces lurking in Angmar.

As the Fellowship prepares to leave Rivendell, Aragorn must re-forge Narsil, the Sword of Elendil. Gandalf has asked for help in Aragorn’s to search the ancient lands of Evendim for an ancient jewel that once belonged in the sword’s hilt. This powerful relic must be recovered before the Dark Lord Sauron finds it.

Players are challenged to secure the valuables of the abandoned city, defy Angmar’s encroaching grip on Annúminas and aid Aragorn in his quest to re-forge Narsil.

Key Features:

* Discover the lands of Evendim
* Explore over 60 new Quests
* Raid in the Battle for Helegrod
* Fight against 9 new monsters
* Upgraded music system adds new instruments and lets you share your music with others
* Equip collectible Armor Sets

I forget, but in the books didn't Aragorn refusing having Narsil re-forged as they were leaving Rivendell? IIRC he was still struggling to come to grips with his heritage back then, and I doubt having the sword of the kings reforged would help that >_>

Well if it is new monster types... though, when you think about it, you can't really add too many different types of monsters to the game. I mean there is a very well-defined lore behind the game... You can't just go adding big, two headed dogs to the game and stuff.

This thread is now a rant about boars thread.

Seriously, no matter what level you are, no matter where you go, you WILL be fighting boars--and often for quests. Hell, even aurochs in ND, MM, etc. just look like giant boars.

The quest "Well-prepared" broke my sanity in closed beta...

Actually...I'm to lazy to get my book and check but I think he had it reforged when the fellowship left. I know the sword was in pieces when he met the hobbits in Bree but I'm positive he had it reforged just because of the journey ahead of them.

Maybe i'm thinking of a different sword... I think i'll have to get my books out check, cause I could have sworn he didn't. I thought he didn't want it, and didn't take it until he needed it later in the books...
