The Lord of the Rings Online: New official Lore Entry pages, and Skorgrim Dourhand

Given just how steeped in ancient lore Codemasters' The Lord of Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is, it's very easy for newcomers to find themselves overwhelmed with information. Now, in case you're looking for a solution, we're letting you guys know that the LotRO site's Lorebook section updated with the new official Lore pages. This new addition to the official game site will help ease up your search for any particular piece of information you need. The pages are divided up into these categories:

• Alphabetical
• Animals and Plants
• Events
• Languages
• Lore Items
• Other Categories
• Races of Middle Earth
• Songs, Lays and Tales
• Time and Calendars
  

Moving on, we've also picked up information on another of Middle-earth's personalities: Skorgrim Dourhand the dwarf - mostly interestingly, evil dwarf. This nefarious Dwarf-lord's made famous for his sacking of Elven refuge of Edhelion in the Blue Mountains.

Six hundred years after this vile act, Skorgrim's preserved corpse was reanimated as a wight by Gaunt-lord the necromancer. This now-undead puppet to Angmar leads an army of Dourhand Dwarves, who believe he (Skorgrim) has come back to lead them once again to wealth and glory.
