Lord of the Rings Online Lore: Gwindethrond and the Gauradain

  

The official Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Lore Book has just been updated with information on Gwindethrond and the Gauradain. Players would do well to familiarize themselves with the lore behind both of these as it may come useful in their daily jaunts in the MMORPG.

Gwindethrond is a grotto hidden behind a waterfall along the shores of Lake Evendim. This is the home of Gwindeth, the Blue Lady of Evendim. While very little is known about her, it is said that she possesses great power and is allied with the Kings of Arnor. Rumor has it that she may even be one of the messengers of the Valar who chose to stay in Middle-earth

In ages past, she was entrusted by the tenth king of Arnor, Amlaith of Fornost, to protect the last of the Elven crafted gems called the Silithair. She kept the gems safe and even turned away Aragorn when he requested the use of these gems to drive back the Shadow in the East. Perhaps other individuals may be able to convince the Blue Lady of Evendim to allow the forces of good to use the power of the Silithair to stop the evil that is threatening to encompass Middle Earth.

The Gauredain are a group of savage wild men which have been around since the elder days. These beings try to act like the Wolves of the North, charging into battle on all fours dressed in nothing but wolf-hides. They allied themselves with the Witch-king of Angmar during the first war against the Northern Kingdom of Arnor. When the war ended, the Gauredain withdrew their forces and established a stronghold in Annuminas where they remain up to now.

Before we go, we’d like to remind players that Turbine’s The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Book 11 will be going live today. This means you’ll be able to check out some of the new content we’ve been talking about in the past few days including the aforementioned Gwindethrond and Gauradain.
