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.

What a weekend!

There was so much happening last weekend, I didn't get a chance to write until now! This weekend was the Monthly Kinship Summit Event Weekend, and what a blast I had.

If I had to guess, I would have to say that I managed to give away as prizes over 5 or 6 gold pieces of items last weekend! I played quite a few games of Hide and Seek where the person that found me would win 3 to 4 items including dyes, armour, books, food, and whatever else I had on me.

Then, on Sunday, was my "big game" where two teams competed in a friendly and very fun Scavenger Hunt! Both teams won prizes, but Wayward Souls won the game and the big prize package which included a full set of Superb Rangers' Armour, two high level bows, books and pages for the legendary deeds, food, dyes, recipes, and so much more!

I can't wait for next month when I will be playing Hide and Seek again, and will have another "big game" that I hope more will participate in.

We also had a Kinship Summit Meeting where a bunch of different Kinships got together to discuss different ideas and issues. We even had a few "creep" (monster player) kinships show up in their "freep" characters. Even when talking about PvMP (player versus monster player) everyone was very nice and very civil in the discussion - no name calling (except for the occasional joke which was laughed at by all).

This weekend was a lot of work - Jazdeia made a ton of dyes, Drakorin made rations and muffins, and I made armour and farmed like mad to come up with prizes. But it was also a ton of fun and I really love giving stuff away like that - it makes everyone happy, including me!
