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.

Collect tokens and reap rewards as you join in the festivities!

The Inn League vs. the Ale Association

During the festivals of Middle-earth, many folks relish the opportunity to partake in the enjoyment of fine seasonal brews, so much as 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 know 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 temperaments.
