Hiker’s Guide to LOTRO was created to share Ideas and help people along with making their way through Middle Earth. Here you can find information regarding the different Zones and Lands in Middle Earth as well as helpful guides in crafting and game mechanics. Cosmetic outfits are created and shared as well. Weather you’ve just started playing or you’re a veteran of the community, there’s something for everyone here.
Of the different interests that make this game great, outfitting has to be one of the best. Even from day 1 I found that if I could customize my character it gives them a richer aspect to who they are. Weather it’s the common traveler or the guard of the citadel, I try to combine the many pieces of clothing into something lore appropriate, and of course good-looking.
The other feature of LOTRO that has been not only exciting to play in but to watch as well is the development of the game. I’m able to take screenshots and photograph the adventures that my characters go through.
The biggest part for me here on LOTRO is the community. I have to have an active group of players to raid and even RP with. So if you ever are on and want to meet look to my contact page to find my list of characters and look me up!
Characters
Here is stuff about characters
Eolrandir
Born in Doriath in the first age, Eolrandir enjoyed the peace of the realm until it’s fall and the destruction of Beleriand in the second age, where he traveled with the company of Oropher to the Greenwood, where he lived for the second age into the third. He trained alongside Legolas Greenleaf and fought alongside Thingol and Oropher in the Last Alliance of Men and Elves, when Sauron was overthrown. Eolrandir resided in the Greenwood, and served as a captain of the guard. He held this position until the third age when he was permitted to travel freely looking to track the movements of the Enemy since his second banishment from Dol Guldur by the White Counsel.
Garthvar
Garthvar was born in Bree to a household that struggled to hang on. He saw the hardships of the lowly merchants’ life. He watched as his siblings either succumbed to exhaustion from overwork or illness set in from their dealings and assistance with foreign travelers. Garthvar grew among this opposition, and felt that he could defend the weak and innocent. He took a position in the Bree town guard and through much practice and dedication became one of the head wardens of the Watch.
Though there was a great amount of success in his career as a warden his rightful standing for the law was not always appreciated. With the sorrowful influence that crept over Bree land men’s hearts became twisted and even the ranks that swore to protect exploited the trust of the townsfolk and began taking unfair wages and manipulating their way into the town’s positions of influence.
Eventually Garthvar rose to challenge a decision being made on a friends misjudgment. He petitioned the leaders that there be a stand of amnesty words the mistake and laps in judgement. Despite his good standing and the Position he held as second Watcher, the decision carried and his friend was kicked out of Bree into a homeless state. There he was given no choice but to join the local rabble inspired by the Southerners.
Garthvar pleaded for reform and a change of heart but the bodies that be did not grant him an inch. In fact they realized that He was no longer on their side and would not agree with them on their decision. He became an obstacle to be moved and would not be allowed to continue in his position.
Strings and rank was pulled to have Garthvar removed from the Watch and because there was nothing else to do, he instead sought the rangers that were too disliked by the townsfolk yet had assisted Garthvar on several occasions. He worked closely with them silently watching over his home even though he was not welcome there.
Runethiar
Runethiar was born in Gondolin, he studied the art of runes, or stone speaking, at an early age. His first experience with combat-applied stone speaking was at the battle of Gondolin as he used it to fight and stall the dragon. After which devastation he used his skill mostly in the medicinal field and for study only. After the fall of Gondolin Runethiar returned to Rivendell alongside
With the recent darkening of days and the fading of the Elves, Runethiar wanders the world looking for where he can stand against the darkness and protect the Free peoples as they seek their fate in removing evil from the world once again.
Dwenar
Born and raised in Thorin’s hall Dwenar was still young when Thorin and Company left to reclaim Erebor, but it soon became his mission to see the great dwarf kingdoms of old renewed. Growing up in Ered Luin at the sights of some ancient dwarven structures and civilizations Dwenar’s desire for the ancient knowledge of the dwarves rises above that of even treasures of the ancient kingdoms.
He spent most of his childhood listening to tales from travelers trying to learn as much of the outside world as he could. He regrets the coldness between Dwarves and Elves as he sees not only a loss in allies and the potential for trouble, but also an economic downturn as well. All the same he would see the old alliances renewed and the dwarven goods begin to circulate once more.
Although he regularly looks to diffuse disagreements and make friends, the reality of world is that this is not always possible. Trained in the Shield and Axe he has proven to be as successful in fighting as he is in diplomacy.
Humpadink
Born into the new era of the descendants of Bejorn, and grew in the relative peace of the land. He had an affinity for working with metal despite his natural upbringing. But his skills helped foster a strong relationship between his kin and the woodsmen who returned to the area.
Growing up close to home and family, He dreamed of travel and adventure. As the days grew darker and the woods grew more dangerous he has been sent out as an emissary of nature to seek out corruption and protect the woodlands from the growing shadows.
