Hail and Well Met!

Greetings to all free people of Middle-Earth. Join Kirvay, Lalinreth, Jazdeia, Drakorin and Sylwin as they travel through Middle-Earth and offer hints, tips and opinions on the lands, people and characters they meet along the way.


This is a blog about 5 characters that I play in the game Lord of the Rings Online. LOTRO is an MMORPG which stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. LOTRO is based on the great books written by J.R.R. Tolkien:
The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
The Silmarillion

In this game you interact with real people as well as NPCs, or Non-Playing Characters such as Bilbo, Frodo, Strider, and many others. You can visit the Shire, Bree-Land, and even find your way to Rivendell and continue to the Misty Mountains!

There are four races that you can choose to create a character from; Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits. Dwarves are male only, but you can create either male or female characters with the other races. There are also several classes to choose from, but not all classes are available with all races.

The classes are: Burglar, Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Lore-Master, and Minstrel. Each class has it's benefits and it's drawbacks, but no matter what you choose to play you will have a great time exploring Middle-Earth.

So, follow along with me as my adventures take me far and wide. You never know what I might run into or finally get accomplished.

Drakorin has a last name!

I am a dwarf, but not just any dwarf, I am a minstrel as well as a jeweler! A good song, a stout brew, and a gem to polish...could life get any better!

I was named well too, Drakorin Gemsong.

Recently, with the assistance of a hearty Elf lady, I was able to acquire a component I needed to make a most desirable trinket, and finish off my jeweler quest as well.

What this means is that I am now able to polish not only agates, amethysts, opals, and bloodstones, but now I can polish those brilliant sapphires and rubies!

Now it's time for a brew and a song!

Gratz on the last name!

Which quest is the jeweller one? The one where you have to run to the Foresaken Inn?

I too have a Dwarf jeweller, Borgi (soon to be) Brassbottom.

Have to go to the Foresaken Inn twice. The first one will grant you access to the Journeyman level of crafting - nothing much to do but talk to someone for that. The second one you have to go out and kill a named dwarf to get white tree mold to craft a trinket.

Might want to take someone with you as most of the dwarfs out there are elites, and unless someone has been through there and cleaned them out, it could be quite the battle.
