Book 12: The Ashen Wastes continues the story

The fourth free content update for subscribers to The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has been confirmed by Turbine and Codemasters Online.

Book 12: The Ashen Wastes continues the story of The Lord of the Rings Online and adds substantial new features that provide players ability to personalise their heroes and an inventive new region that blends the challenge of a 12-player raid with the action of player-vs-player combat.

NEW FEATURES:
More Customization – Book 12 introduces the Outfit system which features new gear and options to let players truly customize their hero’s appearance without impacting the stats of their armor. Players can also visit one of the many new barbershops in Middle-earth where they can choose from one of more than 50 new hairstyles.

The Delving of Frór — Monster Play evolves in Book 12 with an innovative new dungeon that implements 12-player raid mechanics into a dynamic player-vs-player (PvP) environment. The Delving of Frór is controlled by the faction currently winning the battle in the Ettenmoors. Players who gain access to this vast new public dungeon will participate in a challenging raid that pits them against fearsome foes while they face the constant threat of an opposing faction gaining control of the Ettenmoors above and quickly transforming the Delving of Frór into an all-out PvP battle.

Housing Enhancements — The player housing system, which was introduced in Book 11, has been significantly enhanced to provide players with even more control over the items they place in their home. A host of new trophies and other bind-on-acquire items have been added to help players make their home reflect their unique tastes and accomplishments in Middle-earth.

The Epic Continues! — Elrond sends players to rescue Laerdan from Amarthiel deep within Carn Dûm. Through their investigations, players will discover the location of Narchuil, the ancient Ring Amarthiel lost at the Battle of Fornost. Players will battle an Angmarim sorcerer, but only manage to recover half of the ring before returning to Rivendell to inform Gandalf.

Over 100 New Quests — The story continues for players as they aid the Fellowship and encounter new adventures in Middle-earth.
