[edit] What is the Lorebook?
The LOTRO Lorebook is a wiki - a searchable database - connected to the game itself. The Lorebook contains information on nearly every quest, item, creature, NPC, class, and race in LOTRO. Players can use their forum account to log into the Lorebook to edit it, making it even more robust and useful to the player population.
Please visit the Lorebook forums on the LOTRO forums with questions or feedback!
