Episode 56 - On to Rohan...Sort Of

Hi all-

In this Episode we will focus on the Riders of Rohan pre-order.

What I've Been Doing In and Out of Game

Volume 3.6.10 - Find the  Fallen Nazgul

  • Difficulty in finding the actual quest hubs
  • Interesting way of linking back to the fellowship
Volume 3.6.11 Find Nona and 3.6.12 Mists of Anduin

  • Finding the Nazgul
  • Nona is Injured then healed by Galadriel
  • Worn Symbol of Celembrimbor

Torchlight
  • Diablo but not as well established
Cogito ergo sum!

Riders of Rohan
