A place to talk specifically about the Legendary servers!
This server is named for the white jewel that was the greatest treasure of the Kings of Erebor. For over 150 years, Smaug kept it as part of his hoard, until Bilbo Baggins found it. It now lies entombed at the Lonely Mountain with the remains of Thorin Oakenshield.
This server gets its name from two well-known things in Middle-earth, the Brandywine Bridge and the Brandywine River (also known as the Baranduin). The Brandywine River acts as a border on the east of the Shire, except for Buckland.
This server is named after the home Frodo Baggins purchased in Buckland from which he began his journey with the Ring.
A dark, shadow-filled region in the Great Sea that appears in one of Bilbo's songs called "Song of Eärendil".
This server has the name of two important places in Middle-earth, Gladden Fields and Gladden River. Gladden Fields was once a place where hobbits lived and the place where Sméagol (or Gollum), and Déagol came from. Gladden River was the river where Isildur was ambushed and killed by Orcs.
This server shares its name with one of the Great Eagles. Landroval was the brother of Gwaihir, the Lord of the Eagles during the War of the Ring, and was one of the Eagles who saved Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom. Gandalf also claimed that he was fastest of the Eagles of the Misty Mountains.
One of the two trees the Valar planted atop a high hill, which cast a golden light over the realm.
Das Trennende Meer, ein mächtiger Ozean, der zwischen Mittelerde im Osten und Aman im Westen liegt.
Der Windfürst ist der erste aller Adler des Nebelgebirges und immer zur Stelle, wenn Gandalf und seine Gefährten Hilfe in der Not brauchen.
Une rivière de l'Eriador, également connue sous le nom de "Rivière de la Porte", coulait hors des portes de la Moria. Elle fut par la suite endiguée, isolant les Portes de Durin des terres environnantes.
Bullroarer is a public test server which will be opened periodically to test new content, performance enhancements or hardware changes still in development, before they are completed and approved for the live servers. Everything here is subject to change before reaching the live servers.
These servers are no longer available, but folks can chat about history here.
