| Location: | Gather around Frerin’s Court in Thorin’s Gate. The travel ends in Snowbourn, East Rohan. |
Event details:
Me and my friends went all the way from Thorin’s Gate to East Rohan to see if our behinds would manage to sit on a pony’s back for such a long trip. Ever since that day we have a tradition to make the same journey after the Yule holidays.
Since the day that we first made that long trip there have been new roads opened all the way through West Rohan into Gondor. However, we will make the same journey as the original “Long Journey” just as a New Year’s tradition.
Welcome to join me, Trincia Cakewalk and my friends on this year’s Long Journey throughout almost the entire Middle Earth. We will ride from Frerin’s Court in Thorin’s Gate to Snowbourn in East Rohan. All adventurers, hobbits and possibly others with longer legs, who dare to ride all this way are welcome to join as long as you are able and have the courage.
Along the way we will take a few breaks to rest our horses’ feet, play some music, tell a story, and add more friends. If you want to play a song or tell a short story along the way, please announce this to Trincia by mail.
In Snowbourn awaits a party. Bring your picnic basket, and don’t forget to pack some extra pipeweed and fireworks!
Who can join? Anyone can join the travel as long as you dare. All are welcome! ((We will ride through all levels of areas from 1 to 85, so if you want to join the entire journey you need to be at least lvl 75-80. If you are of lower level you are still welcome to join as long as it is possible to stay alive.))
- Only mounts of speed 62% can be used!
- In Moria we need to ride on goats, since horses refuse to go there. Make sure you have a goat ready when entering Moria! We will not wait for anyone who can’t travel in Moria.
- We will ride in a long line where Trincia rides first, second person follows her (/follow command), third person follows the second, fourth person follows the third, and so on. If we are more people than a big raid, then the first person in second raid takes follow on the last person in the first raid.
- Download a full map for the journey here: http://cristinlindqvist.com/lotro/pics/map_long-journey_1401.jpg It is also printable as A3 or A4 if you want.
- If you want to join The Long Journey from the beginning, please be in good time before we leave Frerin’s Court. Anyone who is late can join the trip on any spot where we take a break.
- The entire journey will take about 4 hours (or more), depending on what happens on the way.
- Feel free to send Trincia a letter in-game if you have questions or if you want to help with preparations.
