With the release of Mirkwood Council of Eriador has added two new forums to our lorebook section!

We are pleased to bring you the Mirkwood quest zone found here, which will contain everything from rare monster spawn locations to tips on the new raid content and everything in between!

We have also launched the Skirmish forum found here. You can post tips, tricks, and anything else you have found out about the skirmishes to make everyone's life easier.

Thanks

The Council of Eriador is a Lord of the Rings OnLine kinship on the Brandywine server.  (Rank 10 as of 5/27/2008! Hooray!)

We are a group of mature folks (of ALL ages) who greatly enjoy the Lore of Professor Tolkien as well as this fine game from Turbine.

We have both casual and "dedicated" players!  We also have occasional role-players, non-role-players and "sometimes I am sometimes I'm not" role-players!  If we know you are a role-player, most of us will do our best to play along with you! (Note:  we try to be role-play friendly-- but we are not a true role-play kin).

We are NOT  "l33t", "phat-lewt", or end-game raid fanatics.  We are not power-levelers.  We believe the journey is just as important - maybe more so! - than the destination.  It is not so much about getting to the "end", but about getting there together.  We will do end-game content - when and as we have enough members that are ready for it, including raids.  We occasionally PVMP, but likewise, it is not a major focus for us and we even have a tribe for those who like to occasionally creep.

We place a high value on the friendship and camaraderie of playing in this world together.
