Are you ever curious about the lands you play in and enjoy in Lord of the Rings Online? Aside from the fact these areas are visually stunning, they also have a story to tell if you will listen!

With this farthest gate of Khazad-dûm in the hands of the Dwarves again, and a Stable-master well-stationed nearby, a degree of certainty and comfort can be had even in the Dwarf-city’s haunted delvings and bloody halls. But all is not sunlight and freedom, even here. Between the East-gate and the shining woods of the Elves, Orc-kind and Wargs hunt the Free Peoples and prepare war machines for a new battle to recapture the doorway to Moria.

This land, from Khazad-dûm in the west to the woods of Lothlórien in the east, brims with history and legend. These stones have seen bloody victories and heart-breaking defeats, profound beginnings and sad endings. This valley witnessed the arrival of Durin the Deathless in the earliest era of Middle-earth, as well as the flight of the Fellowship of the Ring not so long ago.

Now this land sees the tale of Moria go on through you. Lady Galadriel, Queen of Lothlórien, has a mission in mind, and the Galadhrim, the Elves of Lórien, call upon you to make it succeed.

Take the tour, see the screenshots, and read up on the lore of the lands on the official LOTRO site in Hero’s Guide to Lothlórien!
