It seems the moral of the story here is: Here's hoping the next big level cap update can get us back on the trail of filling-in some gaps in Rhovanion! Middle Mirkwood / The Narrows / East Bight, Fields of Celduin, Barding-Lands, crafting alternative ways into Southern Mirkwood beyond Epic Volume II Book 9 and perhaps just having the "beach invasion" of the Malledhrim be it's own Epic Story thing that doesn't hinder landscape contiguity anymore, and then, there's the gaps between Southern Mirkwood, current Great-River Brown Lands, and the messiness where the Mouths of the Entwash meet the Wet-Wang meet the Dead Marshes meet Emyn Muil: the western shores of the Anduin have received a ton of love, and so have the northeastern shores going from Elderslade down at least as far as Laerlad.

But now it would be very cool to start digging more into that lore Great River was working on as well as some of the Rhovanion history and Eldacar / Vindumavi and all of that.

I'm excited to see where things go next after the pending further update of Eriador stuff

Cheers!
