Lord of the Rings was Tolkien's creation that drew, in lore and (described) visuals, a ton of inspiration from cultures like the Anglo-Saxons. And, as always, it's nice to see the creators of Lord of the Rings Online take that to heart - in this new developer diary, the Riders of Rohan expansion gets a nice wide, sweeping view of the locales, including details on the Rohan outfits, decorations, and building structure, and the creators talk about what they've done. 

Tolkien forged a lot of ground, and it's great that Turbine has taken his work to heart.
