Turbine Inc. has just updated the lore book of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, giving focus to the infamous landmark known as Othrongroth or the Great Barrow in the southern reaches of the Barrow-downs. Being the oldest and the biggest of the Edain mounds, Othrongroth was being protected by the Dunedain of Cardolan until a great sickness arose from the south. This left Cardolan in ruins, making the Great Mound susceptible as well to the Enemy. After the above mentioned event, the Witch-king sent fell spirits from Angmar and Rhudaur to inhabit the Barrow-downs. Turbine continued the landmark's story: Taking possession of the rotting remains of the dead, the spirits became barrow-wights, the chief of whom sits in lordship in Othrongroth at the command of the Witch-king. As the Shadows in the East and in the North stir once again, the wights of the Great Barrow arise and stalk the Barrow-downs in service to their master. Now, this creepy and dangerous place known as Othrongroth is actually the first dungeon in LotRO that must be conquered by players in order to advance. It will also prove to be important as related in Book 1 of the Epic Story. |
