Lord of the Rings Online Lorebook Update

The official LotRO lorebook has been updated with the latest landmark, Adso's Camp.

Adso Haybank, a hobbit of the Shire, long desired to open an inn but most of the Shire-towns already played host to one or more. He heard that the Brandybucks of Buckland often traveled to The Prancing Pony in Bree to have a drink now and again. After hearing tales of Big Folk coming up the Greenway in great numbers, Adso came up with an idea: he would open a hunting lodge on the Great East Road! The Brandybucks would no longer need to travel so far for a pint, and the Big Folk hunters could have a place from which to engage in their sport.

Materials and labor were more than poor Adso could afford, however, so he was forced to seek aid from amongst his friends, including Barliman Butterbur, proprietor of The Prancing Pony. Unfortunately for Adso, his financial troubles left him with a substandard work-force and a debt to Bill Ferny, a strong-arm for a brigand named Sharkey.

Adso's Camp can be found between Bree and Buckland on the Great East Road,.The lodge is far from complete, but it is said there are still some unusual travelers encamped there. Adso and his lodge were created by Turbine as a location from which to quest in the Barrow-downs and the Old Forest, both of which lie threateningly near the camp.

Looks like a nice place to visit.
