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!
