Elven Thread needs to be put back in the game!

The Backstory of LOTRO

Scenario was nice enough to drop in and let everyone know that it is the most difficult dungeon they have made to date and that was intentional. Hey, ya have to make some stuff really hard. What fun is it if we don’t find a place capable of kicking our butts at least once in a while?
