During The Anniversary Event
The Anniversary is here!
This special is marked by many wonderful events and rewards that seem to come to everyone, not matter where they are or what they are doing.
The Battle of Glorious Beer in Thorin's Hall is not a brawl for the weak of arm or spirit, but it seems that everyone wants to test their strength in this momentous battle. Even the simple heroics of defeating monsters throughout Middle-earth will reap more than the usual bounty.
