The Lord of the Rings Online Point of Interest

Turbine’s official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with a new “Point of Interest” feature, this time exploring Rusfold.

Nestled beneath the rocky walls that hide Esteldín, the hidden refuge of the Dúnedain of the North, is a small encampment of Earth-kin called Rusfold. These hunters of the Suuri-lehmä tribe came south from their village in Ram Dúath to procure meat that can feed their people through the vicious northern winter. However, their hunt would not go as planned. They were cut off from their village by armies of evil Hillmen, Orcs, and other servants of the Enemy.

Worse yet, many of their brethren were persuaded by the poisonous words of the Angmarim. Those deceived by the Angmarim, led by the Earth-kin’s First Hunter, Oskari, betrayed their brethren and formed a new tribe: the Rauta-lehmä, the tribe of the Iron Aurochs. Now the hunters of the Suuri-lehmä are beset on all sides, without any means of escape.
