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

• For Nan Curunír before the flooding, Dagoras' Camp has a stable master that connects to both Galtrev and Grimbold's Camp.
• For Nan Curunír after the flooding, there is a single stable master that connects to Aldburg and to Helm's Deep.

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.
