LOTRO: The Ford of Bruinen

If you are an ardent reader of The Tolkien“>Lord of the Rings to the extent that you know some parts by heart, then you already have an idea about The Ford of Bruinen. In Tolkien’s masterpiece, this is the place where Frodo made his last flight to cross the waters of the Bruinen in the hopes of making it to the safety of Elrond’s home in Rivendell. The ford, which is near Rivendell, is Bruinen’s only point that could be passed.

In the game The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, the swift waters of the Ford can be easily crossed as it seems shallow. Adventurers often tell tales of sensing the presence of great, natural power coming from the river which protects the hidden valley of the Elves lying just beyond the ford.

Since the ford is so strategically placed, travelers better express their friendly intentions as soon as they hear the roar of the River Brunein, as dwellers of the Rivendell valley are known to be extremely protective of their homes. Rivendell guards seldom make their presence known and can strike in a swift, accurate and silent manner towards unwelcome travelers.
