Page 6: Quick Start
Quick Start Once you have created and selected your character, click on the Enter Middle-earth button to enter the game. (You can create another character — up to ﬁ ve on each world at any given time — by clicking on the New Character button.) Your character enters Middle-earth in a special tuto- rial area based on your character’s race.
Page 7: Other Characters
OTHER CHARACTERS & RINGS As you explore the world, you will meet other characters. Some of these are controlled by other players (player characters, or PCs). Some may be enemies that you will have to ﬁ ght or avoid. The rest will be non-player characters (NPCs).
Page 8: Basic Stats
Creating a Character Who will you be in Middle-earth? Click on the New Character button at the Character Selection screen to create a new character. Your character is your in-game persona and will be deﬁ ned by the choices you make during character selection. Although your character will develop while adventuring, the changes made during charac- ter creation are not reversible.
Page 9: Dwarf
Dwarf Begins in the Silverdeep Mine Dwarves can be excellent warriors, displaying unique toughness in battle and ability to craft great things. The stout Dwarves of Middle-earth are known for their steadfast determination, hearty strength, and commitment to all things found in the world’s deep places.
Page 10 CLASS Your character’s class will most clearly deﬁ ne the role you will play in fellowship adventures. There are seven classes in the game, each with its own unique qualities and skills. The classes are Burglar, Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Lore-mas- ter and Minstrel (although not all races can play all classes).
Page 11 Burglar Races. Hobbit, Man Role. Debuffer A stealthy trickster, the Burglar can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken or attack foes. An unexpected strike from behind by a Burglar can stun or trip enemies, allowing others in the fellowship to combine their efforts for a devastating attack.
Page 12 Captain Race. Man Role. Buffer / Pets A Captain provides hope and leadership to his fellows, inspiring them to greater deeds. A skilled Captain can rally his fellowship back from the brink of defeat, or seal a victory against many foes. While a Captain and his Herald are respected ﬁ...
Page 13 Champion Races. Dwarf, Elf, Man Role. Area-of-effect damage / Damage-per-second A true master of arms, the Champion excels in combat, focusing on little other than destroying her foes. The Champion’s whirling blades can strike fear into the hearts of even the foulest Orc, cutting down swaths of their numbers at once.
Page 14 Guardian Races. Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, Man Role. Tank A sturdy ﬁ ghter and protector of the weak, a skilled Guardian can face even the toughest foes and survive. The Guardian is one of the few classes willing and able to try to draw more blows onto himself, and can retaliate with devastating responses.
Page 15 Hunter Races. Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, Man Role. Nuker Tracker, pathﬁ nder and master of the bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can ﬁ re arrows to devastating effect. Archery is not the only thing in which the Hunter excels, for she can lead her companions through Middle- earth faster than they could travel on Initial Status...
Page 16 Lore-master Races. Elf, Man Role. Crowd control / Pets A keeper of ancient lore, the Lore-master uses his knowledge of ancient wisdom to stave off the advance of the shadow for a time. He can use this knowledge to attack his foes or to treat the wounds and suffering of his companions.
Page 17 Minstrel Races. Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, Man Role. Healer With song and tale, a Minstrel brings hope to places thick with gloom. She can inspire those with fearful minds and heavy hearts to great deeds. In battle, she can turn the tide with uplifting songs that strengthen and restore her allies, and dirges that strike fear into the hearts of her enemies.

For more than 600 years, the Witch-king harried the North Kingdom of Arnor, until at last he was cast down by a mighty host of Elves and Men, led by Eärnur of Gondor and Glorﬁ...
Page 21 Archet is a small hamlet in Bree-land, northeast of the Town of Bree, nestled at the edge of the Chetwood. The town and its outlying lands are inhabited by farmers and other rustic folk, who have little use for the bustle of big town life. A few Hobbits dwell here, but the inhabitants are mostly Big Folk.
Page 22 Ered Luin, the Blue Mountains, are dominated by the realm established by the exiled Dwarf-lord Thráin and passed on to his son, the great hero Thorin Oakenshield. Thorin’s Hall was never particularly prosperous, for only iron could be mined there, but in recent years strife has nearly broken the realm.
Page 23 In ancient times, the Ettenmoors were part of the kingdom of Rhudaur before that realm fell under the sway of Angmar, domain of the dreaded Witch-king. Today, even centuries after the fall of Angmar, the Ettenmoors remain a place of terror and evil. Through these wastes some of the most fell creatures of Middle-earth roam at will, biding their time until they hear the summons of their master…...

The legendary birthplace of Durin the Deathless, the First Father of the Dwarves, only that hardy people have ever been able to tame the Mountains and bend them to their will.
Page 25 In days of old, the North Downs were the heart of the kingdom of Arthedain, home to the great cities of Annúminas and Fornost, which fell to the ravages of Angmar. Upon the dread Fields of Fornost dwell the shades of Oathbreakers who betrayed their king and became Fell Spirits of the First Age, serving the Witch-king of Angmar.
Page 26: Main Game Screen
Of the Wilderlands of Eriador, the Trollshaws are among the most untamed. Men and Dwarves come here seldom, and even then they only follow the course of the Great East Road. As the name suggests, this land is the haunt of wild Hill-trolls. East of the Trollshaws, beyond the Ford of Bruinen, lies the hidden Elf-refuge of Rivendell, home of Elrond Halfelven, chief of the White Council.
