Middle-earth Feedback: Fashat Laug

[Clover]

At Fashat Laug, the Rauta-lehmä gather their might, recruiting more of their kindred and replacing their crude hunting tools with iron weapons provided by the Hillman-armourers at Ost Crithlanc.

What I realy remember most about the first time I saw this camp was coming down the pass and seeing the guards with their names all purple(!).

I stopped and crept up until I could check the color of their morale bars.

But lately, i do like how the Angmar revamp gacve these earthkin a richer quest hub, and how the quests all well reflect their personal needs and general disinterest in the greater war between good and evil.

edit: FIRST!

When I first did the quests in the Fashat Laug area during beta they seemed endless. Do one quest, turn it in, get another. It seemed to go on and on.

Either you have made more quests available at first (less chaining of quests) or there are fewer quests available today.

The first time I saw the Earth-kin in Lone Lands I had a good laugh since they had Finnish names (Kekkonen was also the longest serving president of Finland). The North Downs and Ram Duath area continued the trend, and I spent some time flipping though my Finnish dictionary for some of the words.

"Lehmä" is "cow", but I'm translating that to maybe "auroch" in this context. Thus "suuri-lehmä" is "great aurochs", and "rauta-lehmä" is "iron aurochs". A lot of the NPC and place names make sense.

More Finnish in Forochel. Took me a bit to figure it out until I realized how the accents were used: "mâ" is "maa", and "sûri" is "suuri". A simple change that makes it look superficially different from the Earth-kin language. It fits in with Tolkien too, since he borrowed from Finnish mythology and language as well.
