Rivendell, Mount, Kinship and WAR!

I just wanted to give a big thanks to my Kinship, I Alfrin Nost, for letting me fully join your awesome Kin. As soon as I joined, literally just hours later I received a welcoming gift in the form of various pieces of useful armor. After two or three weeks, I was inducted as a full fleged member of the Kin at which point they had a small ceremony to invite me in. We all gathered at the Kinship Hall and people told of my deeds since joining the kin at which point I was accepted by being almost "knighted". It was a quick ceremony and I really wish I had some screenshots of it. I've never been part of a Kinship / Guild / Linkshell that ever did something like that before.

I finally made it to Rivendell to finish up Book 3 and get a start on Book 4. This was my first trip to Rivendell and it was a memorable one. The views on your way down to the Last Homely House are breathtaking. And of course I posed and got screenshots of Auro with the various Fellowship Members. I also completed Bilbo's riddle quests while I was there. Look below for some screenshots of the trip.

Today, in fact, just a couple of hours ago, I got my mount (finally!). I hit 35 a couple days ago but didn't have time to complete the mount quests so I did that today. Its great being able to call your pony at a whistle. I also have some screenshots of my new mount below. I really wish they added a feature that lets you name your mount. Though I will have to think on what I would actually name it...

Lastly, I've been speaking with an old FFXI buddy who is going to be playing Warhammer Online (WAR) when it is released. I am pretty sure that I'm going to pick it up and give it a try. LOTRO will most likely stay my main MMO as it is PvE oriented versus the PvP centric game of WAR. I've always been more into PvE when it comes to MMOs, but prehaps WAR will give me my small PvP fix. In any case, it never hurts to try something new.

Anyways, thats the update for today. Below are screenshots of my latest adventures!

Hey Auro :D It's Briglas from the North Downs! I saw the link in your Bio and thought I'd check out your page. I didn't realize you played FFXI as well! I'll have to ask you more about it in-game.

See you around Eriador then :)
