What’s Inside Tales From the Lone-Lands and Tales From Eriador?
We’re talking quests that will have you facing trolls, battling ancient evils, and dealing with spies from the Enemy. These adventures are designed to be relatively self-contained but still drop hints of a growing danger looming ahead. So, whether you’re “Messing About In Boats” or embarking on “The Quest of Amon Guruthos,” expect nothing less than a full-on immersive experience.
More on Ruins of Eriador
Switching gears, Ruins of Eriador dives deep into the land that was once the kingdom of Arnor. The expansion is packed with narrative elements and characters for Loremasters. “Fog Over Eriador” describes the regions, while “A Gathering Storm” lays out the ground for possible future events in Eriador. The expansion even adds twelve new landmarks that could either be from The Lord of the Rings™ or The Hobbit™ or are entirely new creations for the game.
Timeline Check
Before you dive in, know that the time frame for all these adventures is set around the year 2965. So, you’ll be journeying through Middle-earth in a period ripe with lore and untold stories.
