In which the fire nation conquers middle earth

Aele's lotro blog. And also ozai blog. This isn't really an rp blog. But rp stuff might show up here. I am so sorry, this blog is a work in progress so none of the links work... I'll finish it... sooner or later

Sometimes the randomly-dropped yellow capes look pretty sweet

Winter-Home, after Yule NPC: *looks around* Thank Eru they are all finally gone! *puts in earbuds and turns on mp3 player* Oh, misty eye of the mountain below…

DEATH + Today’s questing took silethel to rushgore and the brown lands.

Sadness lingers about those now-dead paths…

RED ZONES in LotRO

if you’re like me, and like to run into areas of the map that are way too high level for you, some information on what happens when you go into these zones and the laws that govern them would be useful. Information that I cannot find, so I’m putting up a list. Here’s what I have so far based on trial and error (feel free to add)

Aggro+Death:

Mobs aggro onto you from a great distance, probably about their running distance (the obvious one)

You can usually seek solace in a town, but they will follow you in as long as you are within their run range and there are no guards that will kill them.

Death will return you to your milestone, not the nearest revival circle

Travel:

You cannot bind to milestones in red areas.

You can unlock stables, but you cannot ride to them when underleveled. they will display as not unlocked.

Cash shop summoning horns do not work until you have reached the minimum level for an area.

Mythril + Stables can be used to cheat.

(Information needed as to whether normal summoning horns and summoning skills work for transportation in and out of red areas. I’m guessing no.)

Login/Logout

You can log out in a red zone and log back in where you logged out; it will not automatically send you home.

Finding the Imladris Crafting Hall

[1000-realities]

Photos of Bree, with that Forochel fog glitch going on. It made the whole place look kind of like a less watery version of Skyrim’s Riften, in my opinion. Kind of wish I hadn’t logged out of LOTRO after taking these, I’m gonna miss the scenic fog.

If you’re lost, just look for me You’ll find me in the region of the summer stars The fact that we can sit right here and say goodbye Means we’ve already won

[legolasofithilien]

It’s good to keep looking forward, but if you look back, you get to see all the beautiful places you’ve been.

I’ve been playing again recently, I’m just going through great river now and. wow.

The graphics may not be as good as some recent games but the attention to detail in this game just shines.

Tower of Ecthelion, Minas Tirith

[voidseapickle]

I tried to make my longtime lotro main in the character creator :’D She’s going to be feran’s heavensward retainer because she’s my baby and I love her.

(This is what she actually looks like btw:)

[voidlordfebreze]

Tomb and gloom and some fraternizing with ice. Found some glowy ice things <3 so I decided to poke them as a tribute to feran, ahahah

[voidlordfebreze]

This game is from 2007

This isn’t even the highest graphics setting

Looking good for your age, lotro

[voidlordfebreze]

Beorning came out on the lotro beta server and I’m so happy bc it actually has the right skin/eye color combination for feran’s genderbend (got the hair wrong here tho) and like a really good body type for his female version too

and also the right level of wacky expressions

yes

very good

Silethel is glad to be back in the golden wood, but now that she’s finally so close to home she becomes nervous and puts off entering caras galadhon and seeing her parents for a bit.
