Each week we ask you to share your successes in Middle Earth with the rest of the community. Post a comment letting us know what you’ve accomplished this past week.
We will pick comments at random to read on the podcast giving you a chance for a little shout out for yourself! Our shout-outs are only as good as the information we get so remember:
- Don’t forget to add your character name, what server you play on and, if you like, add your Kinship if you have one.
- Please keep your posts brief. We won’t be able to read full novels of your adventures. At least make it so we can easily sum it up!
- Do not be afraid to post any of your achievements. We don’t care if you just saved Archet or cleared out the Tower of Orthanc. We want to hear from you!
These shout outs will appear in tonight’s recording of A Casual Stroll to Mordor Podcast. You are welcome to join us live at 9:30pm Eastern! First time joining us live? See our post on how to join CSTM’s live broadcast.
Comments for this thread will be closed after recording as this is a weekly thing. If you missed this week’s cut off, don’t fret! A new thread just like this one will appear next Friday.

Thank you, Goldenstar, for allowing us this space.
It’s been rather disconcerting for my 85s since so many of the quests they like in the dailies are missing. Hytbolt is almost complete for Eorohir.
In Eldneilmir, I got my Burg Kokoe up to 47(almost 48) and she’s in Moria happily discovering the 21st hall. Gandast the LM is 53 and also in Moria in the 21st Hall. My Hunter Finulos and RK Fiorwyn are both Knights of Harwick now! It’s very nice being able to do mounted combat with these, as they can fight from a distance.
Have a great week.

This is more of an almost (would have been) achievement.
Evarden on Darrowdelf almost has his Hytbold tanking set of armor. Would have had it by today if it weren’t for the missing dailies. Oh well, on pace to have it by Sunday now…:).
Now if I can just find a tarnished symbol….:p

I got my Hobbit Warden Suzarose to 46, and her first legendary weapon today
. My Lore-Master Suzhran got her first set of Hytbold armour complete as well this week.

Talingar from Silverlode
Well, after an extended 6 month absence from LotRO, I returned this last week with a vengeance. (I continued to listen to Casual Stroll the whole time though, so I was never uninformed on the goings on in LotRO)
My hunter Talingar reached level 85, achieved the title of Eastemnet Master Scholar, and was lucky enough to get a Tarnished Symbol of Celebrimbor from a silver box after helping take down the Bugud warband.
Oh, and my Hobbit Minstrel cook made Eastemnet Master Cook, so as to keep me supplied with plenty of nummies!
It’s good to be back!

It’s been a quiet week in Landroval, my home server, out on the edge of the wilds. Winter is in the air as a bit of cold and fog seems to have come down from Forochel. Adventurers have started putting Yule trees in their yards to evoke a festive spirit before winter really sets in.
This week:
Guardian Dagasi of Landroval earned the title Tuckborough Troublemaker and solo-killed a giant named Svalfang west of Bree at level 26.
Captain Danuwa of Landroval, spent a quiet week tinkering in Esteldin and achieved the title Grand Master Jeweller.
Warden Wohali of Landroval, remains true to his Hobbit-nature and spent the week in Michel Delving and Hobbiton where he reached Grand Master farmer and cook.
Captain Kanuwoti of Landroval, hit level 27, completed a couple full runs through the Great Barrow and generally had a good time with his kinmates.
Captain Siqua of Landroval, hit level 55, reached kindred with the Lossoth of Forochel, and completed Volume I, Book 13, of the Epic quest. I seem to have eaten a lot of Lembas along the way.

Today my two level 85 hobbits, Hafwise and Marmafel of Imladris, scored the killing blow on Bugud within hours of each other. (And yes, I do have the screenshots to prove it!)

Captain to level 85: Check
Audacity 13 on Warleader: Check
Episode 37 of Podcast: Check
7 mile run after car trouble: Check
Conquer Arda for Sharkey: In Progress
I also had a great time in a Dark Delvings run which has allowed me to finish all quests in Moria (once I get back to the Foundation of Stone to turn the quests in) on my Guardian, and I’ve even got more videos editing and rendering right now. Time to go back to that Hole in the wall town of Rohan and get some basic conveniences added. Like a Petco, Sears, Serfs ‘R Us, and BMX Hobby horse track; basic amenities.

Quorl (my rk) and Morkeg (my sister’s guardian) hit lvl 20 today! on Eldar
Thurinphale (hünter of Gothic Riders on Riddermark) hit 45 and completed his class quest, think he hit tier 5 in Scholar-ing too
Gilhildon Greenweb (surname gives away the class, Minions of Mordor, Riddermark) ranked up and is now rank 5!
across all of this, my computer has frozen 3 times x.x (excluding the other 3 in the ‘moors)

Nimrodel – Shirriffs of Cydonia Kinship.
Cynwyon, Hunter, hit level 67. ZOMG, Hunter feels slow compared to my Champ.
Heydrich Thistlebottom, Warden, skirmished his way from level 21 to 22.
Alexahil, Champion, 85. Grind, grind, grind, grinding Hytbold! (Said in a sing-song manner.)
Landroval – No kin.
Logged in after last CSTM podcast and listened to the BBB concert at the Prancing Pony.

I’ve been playing my level 79 captain for almost three years and last night in the Tower of Orthanc, I finally rezzed my 100th person to earn the Blood of Numenor class trait.

Sadly all I accomplished this week was downloading the 31Gb Mac Lotro client from Steam today. But I did make it all the way through that Leonard Nimoy video you posted, so I guess that counts right?

I did really well this evening when I attended a trivia quiz (in Bree) hosted by Swifty & Hammo Kin. It pays to know ones LOTR trivia.
I am now 10g richer with some nice dyes and Items for when I level into the higher numbers. Thanks to S&M, your newest and bestest fan.
Lilikate, level 27 of the Academy kin. Arkenstone.
