Exploring Middle-earth: the Tinnudir encampment in LotRO

In The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, not only can we travel the lands of Middle-earth in all of its glory, but we can also retrace the steps of the legendary heroes that also began their journey as mere adventurers. In this update about Turbine Inc.’s MMORPG about the Tolkien series, we visit the isle of Tinnudir in the region of Lake Evendim, where an encampment was established by none other than Aragorn himself.

And it’s not just a mere camp – just like the other setpieces of Lord of the Rings, it has an underlying history that’s rife with the stuff legends are made of. Aragorn, then Chieftain of the Dunedain, first stepped into Tinnudir to recover a lost jewel known as the Silithar. He never did find the jewel again, but he left his companion Calenglad with a small party of rangers to protect the tombs of kings strewn in the island’s ruins.

To this day, Calenglad and his rangers – as well as a few upstanding townfolk – guard Tinnudir and its treasures from lowly-grave robbers and their ilk. They wait patiently for Aragorn’s return, knowing that he would reclaim his birthright soon enough.

Tinnudir is but one of the many locations recreated into digital perfection by the Turbine Inc. team in The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, and where players will be led to once they step into Evendim – where elven rangers lie in waiting for their help.
