Welcome to Update 48 - A Glorious Hunt!

While we have a lot more in the works for U48, we're excited to bring you a first look at our latest update.

'A Glorious Hunt' is included in a VIP subscription. For Premium and Free to Play you can purchase the quest pack on the Bullroarer LOTRO Store for 10 LOTRO Points. This purchase will only affect your account on Bullroarer.

Pahar Hatokáli

Welcome to Pahar Hatokáli, the Hatokáli Fells on the southern slope of the ridge of Mûr Ghala. It is into this land that Shâra Mizâdi has pursued the Ordâkhai forces of the villain Bârshud... but that's not what we're here to look at (yet). Today we're here for roughly thirty sidequests sprinkled across the fells. These are in a first-pass sort of state, so there will be additional polish and some VO to hook up, but they should be ready for an initial look! Visit the northern village of Hanamíku to get started, and then explore! -MoL​

For those looking to trying their hand at living in Rivendell, you can find the entrance to the neighborhood south of the Rivendell Stables. The neighborhood can also be accessed via the Broker's Office and Lalia's Market in Bree-town.​
​
Don't forget to stock up on decorations! The neighborhood broker Hirthamel offers an assortment of decorations - as well as an introductory quest that leads you on a tour of the neighborhood.

The underlying data structures for Kinships have been adjusted to enable future work on the system. This should result in no visible change to kinships and kinship commands.
