  December 5th - March 5th Highlights: Expansion History, Yule Festival, Resolina & Fanrel adventures, VIP, Ill-Omens History: Producer's Letter   Feburary 2019 prelude the fact that this expansion would be in Minas Morgul, followed by  a dev post stating that the raid would be Shelob. In Gen Con 2019, a video was released August 2019 showing off the stout-axe races, followed by an interview discussing the technical side of things. This means that roughly a year passed between Ered Mithrin "Where Dragons Dwell" in October 2018 and Vales of Anduin June 2019 before the level increased again from 120 to 130. They would follow the same example of Mordor expansion by releasing the game to be purchased ahead of time with roughly 3 months before releasing it for 2495 lotro points . However, instead of only offering an Aria in the core package and the High Elf in the "Collector's Edition", they decided to offer the Stout-Axe race in the "Stand...

March 5th - March 7th Highlights: The Black Book of Mordor, Mordor Besieged Getting There: The number one issue I think I have seen over and over again is "How do I get to Mordor Besieged?" only second to "Is there anything between Vales of Anduin and The Morgul Vale?"

The problem is that the banner doesn't even become visible until you do The Black Book of Mordor Chapter 11.2 . There is one in Dingarth, within the old Mordor expansion, that will teleport you to Mordor: Besieged Dingarth. The one by the stable-master, in turn, will send you back. There is ...

March 7th - March 8th Highlights: Rath Duath, The Black Book of Mordor, Filth-Well, Deep-Barrows Rath Duath: One of the first areas you'll explore outside Mordor: Besieged is Rath Duath . There aren't many quests here, only a mere 25 are required for the deed. But there is a lot to see has you venture up the mountain-side. You'll get to meet wargs knawing on bones, flesh, and the remains of spiders. There are orc camps under some interesting orders to the north. You'll discover an abundance of morrovals hiding at the very top. The problem I have is that the quests don't really connect as well as they should. For example, you get a quest to collect three different samples of water. One is at the end of the warg camp, one is at the beginning of the Broken Houses, and another is tucked in a corner that's hard to find. Then afterwards you get another quest to find three urns.
