In the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO), an important event is coming up. Two great heroes are getting married, which is associated with a new quest series.
Who is getting married? Aragorn and Arwen enter into the bond of marriage. Those who know the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien or the films of The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson know that these two are important characters.
Ranger Aragorn accompanied the Ring-bearer Frodo and the other companions and played a significant role in the Battle of Helm’s Deep and the White City of Minas Tirith. He is a descendant of Isildur, King of Gondor, and thus the rightful heir to the throne. After the War of the Ring, he will be crowned.
Arwen is the daughter of Elven Lord Elrond. Due to her love for Aragorn, she remained in Middle-earth when the Elves left the land and chose to die together with her husband.
A new event in The Lord of the Rings Online
When does the wedding take place? The development studio Standing Stone Games is keeping a low profile and only hinted that it could begin tomorrow, June 30. An official announcement is expected to follow soon.
The wedding starts the major update “Volume V Book 1: A Time of Celebration.” It is a larger event associated with an update.
Such events happen regularly, like recently concerning the death of Bilbo Baggins actor Sir Ian Holm.
What do players get from this wedding? Not only is it an interesting event in the MMORPG LotRO, but it is also linked to a new quest series. What to expect in this is still unknown.
You will receive rewards such as emotes, titles, and more. Additionally, it is possible to receive new gifts daily and weekly that have a wedding theme.
The wedding also starts a new holiday in the MMORPG, which will be celebrated every year with festivities and rewards.
Since you are currently receiving a content pack worth around 200 € for free, it’s worth checking out LotRO.
How long does the event last? The event is supposed to end on July 20. Rumors suggest that it will then transition into a new story in which West Rohan will be made accessible as a housing area.
