The breaking of Isengard at the hands of the Ents

During the Battle of the Hornburg, March 3-4, the Ents of Fangorn Forest, led by Treebeard after prodding by Merry and Pippin, marched upon Isengard.

The Ring of Isengard has been ripped apart and the entire Vale of Nan Curunír flooded as the Ents shattered Saruman's dam holding back the River Isen.

With the release of Update 13: The Breaking of Isengard, there are two unique visions of Isengard presented to the player.
  • Isengard Before the Battle of the Hornburg.
  • Isengard After the Battle of the Hornburg.
The events which take place with the Breaking of Isengard take place concurrently with the Battle of the Hornburg at the end of Book II -- The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers.
The Game Mechanics of LOTRO allow the player to simply and easily move between the two locations depicting the two events.
  • Note that Chickens can access these way-points!

Stable-Master connections

Note that it is not possible to travel directly between the two Nan Curunír stable masters, as they exist in different time periods, and Dagoras' Camp has been abandoned by the time of the flooding.
