Spring Festival
|
Spring Solstice is a time for love and new life for the races of Middle-earth! Spring Festival is held every year in the month of March. It is a time for celebration where everyone can learn a new dance and drink with their fellows.
Festival Grounds
When in doubt always visit the Festival Grounds! There's always something to do there, whether it's games or quests or just having a good time with others.
Locations:
- Festival Grounds in Bree-land
- The Party Tree in the Shire
- The Festival Garden in Ered Luin
- Thorin's Hall in Ered Luin
Dancing
Take time out from quests and other fun-filled games to learn new racial dance steps. Each race has unique dance steps they'd like to teach everyone! If it seems all too complicated for your wobbly legs or clumsy feet then repeat to yourself 1-2-3; 2-2-3; 3-1-3. Remember to keep your dance instructor selected to make sure you are following their every step!
Drinking
What would any festival be without a good pint of ale! For those who are interested the Inn League holds an initiation during festival times. Be careful what you drink because you only have so much time. Visit the Inn League Initiation for tips and tricks or just to learn more about them.
Stomp-a-Shrew
There's a new game found in the Festival Garden in Ered Luin.
Grab some boots and come stomp on shews! There's fun to be had and you may be able to get your foot on a real big shrew, but be alert because only one person will get the prize.

- The Inn League vs. the Ale Association
- During the festivals in Middle-earth, many folks relish the opportunity to partake in the enjoyment of fine seasonal brews, so mush so that factions devoted solely to this practice are formed.
- The Inn League is a long-standing reputable faction of Middle-earth, founded by hobbits. Members are always welcome, and those who wish to join should seek entry to the league by visiting Ailward Chubb at the Party Tree.
- But the glory of the Inn League was not to last. A few festivals later, a surly, sinister dwarf made his presence known in Thorin's Hall during their own celebrations. This dwarf, Jónar, despises hobbits and believes that dwarves are the superior brewers of the land. He founded the Ale Association, a rival faction of the Inn League, bent on doing more harm than good for the amusement of those with wicked temperments.
