The Creatures of Middle-earth
|
The lumbering monsters known as Kergrim have seldom been seen anywhere beyond the borders of Angmar. When they can, they stalk the barrows and tombs of the long dead, searching for bones upon which to gnaw. It was long thought that they were simply beasts, but recent evidence shows that they are more than that. Perhaps they are some foul breed of troll; exceedingly stupid, but not wholly unintelligent. Since the coming of the shadow of Angmar, they have been seen haunting the barrows of the Men of Arnor in the region around Lake Evendim. Whether the Kergrim are simply there to terrify the few Men who dwell in Evendim, or there seeking something specific within the tombs, danger lurks behind every grave. The Kergrim were originally drawn from tales of a Scottish ghoul who lurked in graveyards, desecrating graves to gnaw the bones of the dead. They have been modified to fit into the world of The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™. |

Postcards from Middle-earth
An Unexpected Treasure
Today's image was submitted by Faernathron of Laurelin. He recently found a special painting in-game and wanted to share a little bit about it with us!
"I got it from a Lootbox, so it is possible to find something very special there, even though it doesn't have to be gear for your character.
My player name is Faernathron, and I play on Laurelin, which I have done ever since the game started! This has turned out to be a fantastic 5th year, and with the expansion this fall, the 6th promises to be just as great!
The painting will adorn our kinhouse, and of course everyone is free to drop by and see it, we even have pie for the hobbit guests!
Faernathron, thank you for submitting this special image!
