Filling the Gaps: following in the footsteps of the Wildwood and the Angle

[miriadel]

for northern wastes I mean everything above Forochel since that is the current stop point of the map, but yes, that's the gist basically. Idk, I think it would be fun to jump so much north after we'll be exploring the far south with Umbar. Not to mention the sudden climate change XD and aside from Forodwaith... there's way too many regions I'd like to explore without having to wait months in between patches

Looking at it closer, the path from the Iron Span in Forochel, to the path in Angmar, would pass directly through the ruins of Utumno. Would be cool if we got a map, in the next round of "non level cap gap filling releases" thats set between our defeat of the Angmarim in Forochel, but before Carn Dum falls in Shadows of Angmar, where we take the path to stop the Angmarim from trying to dig out old relics from Ultumno.

I like this idea! I'm a real sucker for old abandoned ruins with tragic pasts too.

Has anybody seen on Bullroarer if there are more landmass changes around Gondor?

It looks like we'll be getting a "rebuild the Rammas Echor" quest-line near Harlond - or simply the appearances. They are definitely developing that spot to have more reconstruction going on with a camp of masons, from the looks of things.

But it would appear that Scenario et al. learned their lesson with CardoSwan, the "best kept secret of last year" - hahahaha

We can't really see anything other than the Harlond area because, well . . . there are zero changes in South Ithilien, and we could only have viewed a distant Lossarnach from the upper hills of an "after-battle South Ithilien." The invisible walls are stronger than Shelob's webs and the Watchers of Cirith Ungol! I did notice, just swimming along the invisible wall in the Anduin itself, that some parts of Harlond also look more reconstructed and/or under reconstruction / less ruined. But that's all I can see; the rest of Lossarnach visible from the river waters looks like a copy / paste of "before battle" Lossarnach with blue skies.

We can only "narrow" things down, pun intended :P No noticeable changes north or east or southeast of the Pelennor. This means "After Battle Gondor" must be "western East Gondor" and "Central Gondor" - pretty much anything from Harlond southward but no Ithilien.

They might save "after battle South Ithilien" for heading southward in Umbar's direction, perhaps . . . it just looks like we're getting re-worked, after-battle versions of the Gondor zones we already have "before battle."

Cheers!

Many thanks indeed for the info! I would have liked to get the Southguard too, but Western and Central Gondor sounds OK to me.

Yep The "western part of East Gondor," to clarify; I meant to say Lossarnach and Upper Lebennin (*the original East Gondor had both of those plus South Ithilien and Osgiliath; I'm not convinced South Ithilien is on the way)

Cheers!

Don't you think that they decided to postpone Ithilien until the moment after the wedding of Faramir and Eowyn and their accession to the hill of Emyn Arnen? Then returning specifically there would make even more sense.

Of course, I would like to see there some kind of analogue of Hytbold with the construction of a city, a dream of a dream..

Just saw the updated beautiful map of Mirkwood and thought about two things.

Firstly, it surprises me that the name is not "Southern Mirkwood (although it does not even cover the entire south of the forest, rather the southwest)

And secondly, in the north and south there are no signs to future locations.

Do you think we will ever get a continuation of this location, or will it remain cut off from the whole world because of the prologue? (like Ered luin once or Etten now)

Not to mention the sudden climate change XD

What about those words do you find funny?

[miriadel]

going from a deserty land to an ice one, simple as that. don't even try to start an argument about this, since clearly I wasn't talking about real life but a game
