action of The 
Lord of the Rings 
Online
 takes place 
during the Third 
Age and in the 
region of Eriador, 
in the north-
west quarter of 
Middle-earth. As 
the game grows 
and evolves, 
more lands will 
be opened to 
adventurers.

HOBBIT
Fallohide. 
Lovers of trees and wood-
lands, the Fallohides were the fi rst 
Hobbits to come to The Shire. They 
generally tend to be fairer of skin and 
hair, as well as taller and more slender.
Harfoot.
 The Harfoots are the most 
prodigious hole-dwellers and were the 
fi rst to cross west into Eriador. They 
generally tend to be darker skinned than 
the other kindred, as well as smaller and 
shorter.
Stoor.
 The Stoors were the last of the 
Hobbit kindred to come to The Shire, 
settling in the eastern marshlands that 
became known as the Marish. They 
generally tend to be heavier and broader 
of build than the other kindred.
MAN
Bree-land.
 Bree-land was once part of 
the North Kingdom of Arnor, ruled by 
Elendil the Tall as High King of Middle-
earth and by his elder son Isildur. Now 
it is but a simple, rustic land, and the 
North Kingdom is no more.
Dale-lands.
 The Dale-lands lie in the 
northeast of Middle-earth, beneath the 
Lonely Mountain, where Bard the Bow-
man slew the dragon Smaug and fought 
in the Battle of the Five Armies.
Gondor.
 The land of Gondor is the 
South Kingdom once ruled conjointly 
by the sons of Elendil, Isildur and 
Anárion, ever-watchful against the 
looming threat of Mordor.
Rohan.
 Home of the Horse-lords of 
the Riddermark, this realm was granted 
to Eorl the Young by Cirion, Steward 
of Gondor, and is currently ruled by 
Théoden, son of Thengel.
