The Lord of the Rings Online Site Update

[GameBanshee News]

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with information about the ancient Barrow-downs area of Middle-Earth. An excerpt to follow:

In The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, the Barrow-downs are a place of great adventure, and great peril. The barrows, for which the area is named, are ancient burial mounds found throughout the area. They contain hidden chambers, delved by ancient hands, that conceal finely crafted treasures. However, these dark, mysterious places also contain evil spirits that have haunted this region for over a thousand years – spirits that jealously protect the treasures of this land, and also seek to waylay adventurers and take them from the living world into their own dark realm.
