“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ~ Bilbo Baggins, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ~
Smaug has been defeated, the Battle of Five Armies has been won, and Bilbo has returned to the Shire. But, much danger still remains - and from the Orc-holds of the mountains to the dark and corrupt depths of Mirkwood a darkness waits, recovering its strength, laying its plans, and slowly extending its shadow... In Dale, King Bard sends out a call for brave adventurers to journey to Laketown and assist him in restoring the glory of the North. Spurred on by diverse callings whether it be the lure of the road, the hunger for ancient lore, or the simple urge to defend hearth and kin - adventurers from across Wilderland are preparing to explore Middle-earth and battle the rising threat of The Shadow wherever it may be found.
