Icy Crevasse – Tips and Tricks
I was very excited when I saw there would be a Forochel skirmish. First off, I was thrilled that I finally had another way to earn reputation with the Lossoth, which have an incredibly long grind. Secondly, I just love Forochel. It is one of the most beautiful and deadly places in Middle-Earth.
I tried it out on Bullroarer with my level 65 Hunter, Geldarion, first. I have since tried it with most of my characters that are the appropriate level. I usually run with an on-level soldier, and I would highly recommend that, because this is undoubtedly the hardest skirmish there is.
I would like to give a few tips on completing this skirmish, since it is so difficult. This is not too detailed, and I am sure that Pineleaf Needles at Casual Stroll to Mordor will have a complete guide eventually, but this is to tide people over for the time being. You should definitely check out his posts, as they are the best I’ve ever seen on skirmishes.
Here is how to win (or in this case, not die)! Read more…
The journey begins…
Greetings my friends!
I am looking forward to blogging about the things in life that are important to me, and hopefully, you will enjoy the writing I do.
I anticipate three categories.
My first category will be Lord of the Rings Online, a free-to-play MMORPG. I have always had a passion for J. R. R. Tolkien’s works, and this game is epic. I will post guides, posts in character, screenshots, etc. This category will make up most of the blog. I may use Elvish terms, in a bit of roleplay fun, so expect to see words that are unusual. I will put a “Language note” at the bottom of each post if I do use a different language in the post. Read more…
Reflections on Jesus
Two thousand years ago, a Man from Nazareth named Jesus lived in a Jewish culture, gathered followers, defied the church leaders of His time, and died a criminal’s death by being executed by Roman authorities for insurgence, though the verdict was questionable. It is a seemingly simple story, but the Man behind the history means far more to His modern-day believers than the above sentence would lead one to believe. He claimed to be the Son of God, the Jews’ Messiah, and He proved His claims true by healing illnesses, driving out demons, raising people from the dead, and finally by raising Himself to life after being falsely accused and murdered. Over two thousand years, His disciples have been tortured, expelled, excommunicated, segregated, beaten, burned, decapitated, hung, poisoned, stabbed, and shot for His name. He was the pivotal person of history, of His-story, as even our calendar reflects His life on earth. He is, was, and will be. He is the Word, who was with God in the beginning. He was, to speak in simultaneously simple and complex terms, God incarnate. Read more…
1-65 Speedy Soloing Leveling Guide
This is just a updated leveling guide that takes into account the Evendim Revamp, as well as the solofication of Vol. II. It is from the perspective of a player who is primarily solo and wants to move as quickly as possible through the levels. My captain is the one that most recently went through this, but I have done the Moria part just about the same exact way with my hunter, warden, champ, and lore-master as well. Enjoy, good leveling, and farad vaer.
Namárië,

Decisions
This post is in the character of my warden, Khelernil. It was recently featured on Casual Stroll to Mordor’s Lost Texts
When I first ventured into Forochel, I had only heard stories. My people are the silvan elves of Mirkwood, but during the late Third Age, nomads from the south had come to us with tales of a cold, frigid land with Men there that had an even more frigid demeanor. The Lossoth. They were said to grow horns from their head and have skins like animals. Their language was similar to that of other tribes of men in places like Angmar and Enedwaith, but they seldom spoke Westron to an outsider. And most travelers to them are outsiders. Read more…
