Lotro-A Brief History
In ages long past, dwarves delved throughout the Misty Mountains and there drew forth precious ore from the land. At the foot of those mountains, beneath the shadow of what is now called Mount Gram, is one such delving ?C The Delving of Fr??r. *
Long before the Men of Rhudaur made the land now called the Ettenmoors their home, the dwarves who lived there carved deep beneath the mountains. The Delving of Fr??r was mined to exhaustion and abandoned for many years until the Men of Rhudaur arrived and themselves discovered its depths. The Men of Rhudaur eventually fell under the sway of the Witch-king, and Angmar demanded that they build subterranean holdings meant to serve as defenses against the forces of Cardolan and Arthedain. The Rhudauran complied, and built small holdings in the abandoned mines.
Angmar and the Free Peoples alike assail the terror that dwells within The Delving of Fr??r, each for their own reasons. For Angmar, the thought of bringing such potent allies to bear against the Free Peoples and the promise of power from their leader Mordirith provides motivation. For the Free Peoples, the dissolution of great evil that would threaten the relative safety of Eriador drives them into the unwelcoming depths.
Access to The Delving of Fr??r is gained by controlling three of the five locations found throughout the Ettenmoors: Tol Ascarnen, Tirith Rhaw, Lugazag, Grimwood Lumber Camp, or the Isendeep Mine. Controlling the majority of these locations means that the battle is tipped toward the Free People or Angmar and affords access to the portals (located at Ost Ringdyr for the Free Peoples or Dar-gazag for the forces of Angmar). Controlling the dungeon allows those inside to remain there, but losing control of the Battle in the Ettenmoors means the enemy will be able to enter the dungeon and drive you out.
Example: Let??s say that currently, Free Peoples players control The Delving of Fr??r. Suddenly, the tide of battle turns and the monster players retake all the locations in the Ettenmoors! Free Peoples players may continue fighting within the Delving of Fr??r, but if ousted can no longer return to the depths until they once again have the upper hand in the battle. Further, the monster players now have access to the Delving of Fr??r and could soon enter the dungeon to drive the Free Peoples out!
