Garth Agarwen is an area within the Lone-lands, in the north-eastern region.

Garth Agarwen (Sindarin for Fortress of the Blood-maid) is reached via the Outer Gates within the north-eastern corner of Agamaur. Outside those gates are the services for Garth Agarwen, a Camp Site Fire with a Mustering Horn, Travelling Vendor, Eglain faction barterer, and quest givers.

For the world instances, head eastward past a stairway and, for the Barrows continue past the Créoth encampments; for Arboretum and Fortress, head southwards through a labyrinth of ruins, past a small section of woods, and into an area with gloomwaters and more créoths. At that section Temair the Devoted patrols a platform, heavily guarded by créoths. The instances are aimed at level 32, Small or normal Fellowships, and required prerequisites exist.

Instance Overview

Instance Overview

Around Barad Dhorn [29.8S, 27.4W] there are quests given for Agamaur, the outside area of Garth Agarwen, and the instance itself. Two of the Agamaur quests must be completed for the last Garth Agarwen quest. When you reach level 32, the instances of Garth Agarwen are accessible via the "Instance Join" panel. There are three instances: Arboretum, Barrows, and Fortress. They are small fellowship instances, except the fortress which is for a full fellowship. You can be invited to a fellowship at any level. If you accept the instance you will receive a challenge and one optional objective; two challenges for The Fortress. Starting from the Outer Gates and going east, you can reach the courtyard of Garth Agarwen. From there you can proceed northeast and reach the Barrows Gate, or you can go south and reach a second courtyard where Temair the Devoted is located. In this courtyard you can find the entrance to the Arboretum (south-west side) and to the Fortress (east side).

Lore

"When Men first settled in these lands, the Hillmen of Rhudaur settled Garth Agarwen and treated nature as they should. As time passed and the influence of the Witch-king spread throughout the kingdom, the Men fell to corruption and turned against nature, poisoning the land and its caretakers." & mdash; Quest

"Garth Agarwen lies in the north-east hills of the Lone-lands. Once a great fortress of the ancient kingdoms, rumours say that it has become a stronghold of corruption and evil." — Deed
