Exploring Middle-earth: Haudh Iarchith&lotro gold

The Lord of the Rings Online Lorebook has been updated with a look at Haudh Iarchith, an dungeon of dread within the Barrow-downs of Bree.

The Barrow-downs west of Bree were once a haven for the Rangers of Cardolan,until the plague swept across Middle-earth and destroyed the last remnant of those Dunedain,After the Rangers of Cardolan perished,the Witch-king sent fell spirits out of Angmar and Rhudaur to inhabit the remains ot the dead buried bebeath the mounds,giving rise to the Barrow-wights,Since then,the Barrowdowns have had an evil name as a place of terror.

A few places within the Barrow-downs,such as Othrongroth and Ost Gorthad,are know as places of the greatest dread.Another of these terrible places is Haudh Iarchith,Once the clan-barrow or the freat and wealthy family,it has now become a den of Angmar’s Dead.The hunters of Bree seek to frive the evil from this place,but few among even them have the courage to face the wights of Haudh Iarchith.
