Coming in June!!



Shores of Evendim



The First Update to The Lord of the Rings Online™



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 Online™.



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 search of 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

    Amazing that we get such an update already - I can't say enough good about the dev teams.  However, it does feel a little bit soon don you think? UNLESS of course they want to put out one of these free updates every 2-3 months but that would seem like it was extremely rushed... but they seem to know what they're doing so lets just enjoy

    Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

    BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

    well people were saying there is not enough areas to explore. I suppose they will slowly release bits and them after a year of so bring an expansion for rohan and further, etc.

    Nice of them 2 give us a free update like this so soon tho. Says good things for the devs. Whats this? A game where devs listen and care for their players!

    Nah, this is how Turbine has always handled their games. Every couple months they release major content updates with new zones and new stuff to do. They've always had a pretty good reputation for that.
