The Lord of the Rings Online Dwarven Race Profile

[GameBanshee News]

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar website has been updated with a new "playable race" profile detailing the Dwarves.

The stout Dwarves of Middle-earth are known for their steadfast determination, hearty strength, and commitment to all things found in the world's deep places. Living a secretive life in their homes beneath the great mountains, Dwarves are expert miners and workers of stone and metal, capable of crafting with great strength and renown, along with unparalleled beauty and intricacy. Unwavering and proud, the Dwarves fight for the Free Peoples of Middle-earth (although an ages-old mistrust exists between Dwarves and Elves), emerging from their deep dwellings to bring their strength and fierce combat skills to bear in the battle against the Darkness in the East. Dwarves stand several feet shorter than the Men of Middle-earth (on average, approximately 4½ to 5 feet high) and typically live long lives of 250 years or more.
