Rhovanion Audiobooks - #1: Vengeance, by Smaug Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-03 | In LOTRO some deeds reward you with Bookcase decorations for your house, yet there's a requirement to be able to use them that renders them less attractive to low lvl toons (either within your same account or kinnies and house guests). If you haven't completed the corresponding "Lost Lore" quest on the toon you are on, the library won't display any books.Therefore, I decided to start this pet project. I'm going to share all the available books, in audio and text, one every day until we have a full collection here. I'm starting with one of my favorite ones, so I hope you enjoy it!

[LOTRO] Elven Library-Garden Tour (Gladden) Laurel Urugdagnir 2023-05-01 | Sindarin Elves was my first kinship in LOTRO, back in 2013, in the now dead Windfola server.After struggling for many months with ideas in my head about what I wanted this kinship house to look like, I think I finally found something I'm comfortable with. It feels like an elven habitat, a peaceful library and garden, where you can go to read & write, or just to think.. there's also a place to paint, a lil' stage to play some music or read out loud, and all surrounded by the nature. P.S.: Don't mind the Owl & the Shrew. Those two have had a feud for a long time.If you feel like visiting, the address is 2 Waterbank Road, Fírdor, Falathlorn. Many other houses in the neighbourhood are also mine, tho not all are open. 1 (Date Night), 3 (Vampire Den) and 4 (Pirate Tavern) Twinfall Path are currently open.

[LOTRO] Silver Deep Guard House (FPV) Laurel Urugdagnir 2022-01-14 | Since LOTRO got its Per Pixel Lighting Atenuation setting I've been revisiting old places to have another look at them & compare with my memories or old screenshots, to have a closer look at textures, and such. This particular place can only be visited while your Dwarf or Elf is on the intro - tho I'd recommend you make a lvl 1 Dwarf if you want to be a quick run away for your own tour of the house. There's a sound skip there I couldn't erase, but if you wanna take quick screenies of the place I'd say this video tour will save you a trip. Looking for me? linktr.ee/Laurelinarien

LOTRO - Trick to access War-steed panel on low lvl toons Laurel Urugdagnir 2021-03-24 | I see this question pop in World Chat every single festival where new players (or not that new) can get war-steed cosmetics but can't see them. Ofc if you already have access to War-steed skills, you just need to Shift+M but a lower level toon can't prompt the panel this way.Yet, where there's a will, there's a way! This is the method I try to recommend... tho I don't know how it applies to players who run LOTRO via Steam with the changes to the store being external only :( Anyways, hope it helps!
LOTRO - A Game of Hammers & Bones Laurel Urugdagnir 2021-01-21 | Líkmund and Thettmárr (you must remember these two! From Moria!) are engaged in an infinite game loop.

Minas Morgul Audiobooks - #4: The Tale of the Dark Tree Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-10-02 | Our narrator is Agath-Kali, a Gaunt-woman, Mistress of the Houses of Lamentation you'll find deep in the Morgul Vale (especifically in Thuringwath). She's also the last boss in the 6-man instance (Bâr Nírnaeth).The story, from her point of view, tells us about the capture and torture of the Gondorian King Eärnur until they broken him. The Nazgûl used him to find a White Tree sprout they could corrupt and defile. The result from their evil works is also found within Bâr Nírnaeth: Morloth, the Black (boss 3). Pet on display: Enchanted Vessel.
Minas Morgul Audiobooks - #3: The Vow of Galadriel Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-10-01 | This is a letter written and narrated by Lady Galadriel to Lady Valardis, Isildur's wife in the Second Age, after driving away Sauron's forces that had been occupying Minas Ithil since Sauron escaped from Númenor.Minas Ithil, the Tower of the Moon, had been built by Isildur and it stood as a twin to Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun, built by Anárion. In the letter, Galadriel implores Valardis for aid in changing Isildur's mind - he was bent on razing the Citadel to the ground - and offers the Galadhrim's help to heal the Vale.Sadly this story will repeat itself in the Third Age, when the Witch King of Angmar takes over Minas Ithil again. It'll be King Elessar's decision in the Fourth Age to destroy the Tower once & for all.Pet companion: Black Wolf-dog (the White Company rep)
Minas Morgul Audiobooks - #2: Snare of the Spider Queen Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-30 | While wading through yet another spider-infested area, you come across with lost pages of "a letter sent but never delivered". Near the beginning of the Second Age, Lord Celeborn writes to Lady Galadriel soliciting her aid to counter Ungwetári and her brood. It was then, in Cirith Ungol, that him and the Bright Company had realized that their blades were useless against these enemies, but the Light of their most beloved star (Eärendil) hurt them greatly and would be instrumental in their imprisonment.On display, a few decorations from the Remmorchant raid (sadly I don't own Shelob herself) plus the 2 emotes: /cocoon and /raise_light
Minas Morgul Audiobooks - #1: The Sundering of the Gates Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-29 | Via this audiobook you receive first-hand testimony of the actions of High King Gil-galad that were most decisive for the course of the War of the Great Alliance. The witness and narrator: High King Elendil, the Tall.These pages can be found in Mordor Besieged and they register a turning point in the War: when the power of the Elven Rings, wielded by one of the mightiest Elves in Middle Earth, instilled fear in Sauron.The howling boy next to me is the Brown Wolf-dog pet from the Reclamation of Minas Ithil faction.
Mordor Audiobooks - #8: Seven Rings, by Sagróg Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-25 | Our narrator this time is Sagróg, aka Bitter Warden, the Deathless Warden.

Mordor Audiobooks - #7: The Master by Thraknûl Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-24 | The pages of the Lost Lore of the Prison of Naerband are inside a 6-man where the last boss, and narrator, is the Lead Torturer in Sauron's staff: Thraknûl, an Uruk.This is a very short story, more of a commentary, that allows us to gain insight regarding how Naerband's Warden felt when Mount Doom exploded and the magma leaks heated the prison's lower levels, burning its "dwellers" to a crisp.Assistant pet: the Fire Grim!
Mordor Audiobooks - #6: Court of Seregost Laurel Urugdagnir 2020-09-23 | This lost lore is narrated by its protagonist: Lhaereth, the Stained, Sauron's lieutenant in Seregost and creator of the Great Plague.
