Story
You have wrested the palantír from Amarthiel, but not before she learned what she sought to learn: a clue to the location of Narchuil, the ring she lost at the Battle of Fornost. She turns her gaze eastward seeking to recover Narchuil, and the Dúnedain find themselves with few means of stopping her advance, save one: Calenglad believes that Mordrambor, the Black Númenórean held prisoner by the Dúnedain, may be the key to ending Amarthiel’s ambitions.

Merry Hail to the Loremaster revamp!!
) My main is a 46 LM, and it is really really hard to level in solo anymore, that I can tell....
DB
Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is.
Ok my main toon (i have chosen not to make alts in this game from past experiences) is a 47Minstrel, and i gotta say looking at this new patch really makes me happy. The updates to the Min are freaking awesome.
Question: Do they only last for the Month of the Minstrel or are these changes permanent? well unless sometime down the road they change mins again.
They are permanent. The month of <class> just means they are adding new spells, abilities and change previous ones for the particular class.
