Book 7: Leaves of Lórien Overview




Welcome to Lórien
You have braved the darkest depths of Moria and battled the terrors of the Nameless Deep. Now in Volume II: Book 7: Leaves of Lórien, you are called upon to enter the enchanted lands sheltered beneath the shimmering leaves of the ancient forest Lothlórien.



Lothlórien Revealed
  • Earn reputation with the Elves of Lothlórien to prove your worth and gain favour
  • Reunite with the fellowship as they ponder their fate without Gandalf's guidance
  • Return to Moria to seek out and destroy the evil Orcs that aim to claim the Mines as their own


Read more about Lothlórien in this Developer Diary: Lothlórien Quest Notes.



Enhanced New Player Experience
We've completely redesigned the Elf and Dwarf new player progression and given Archet and The Shire a good polish as well.

  • Lots of new quests in Ered Luin!
  • New travel routes
  • Re-structure of early questlines


Learn more about the New Player Experience by reading this Developer Diary.
