• As Aragorn, you are Chieftain of the Dunedain of Arnor, head of the Rangers. For countless generations your family has dwelled in the shadows - will you return to Gondor and claim the throne, forging a Reunited Kingdom? Or will you aim for the humbler goal of Arnor? Or perhaps secrecy will be your shield, and you shall bide your time...
• Countless other wonders, decisions, and events have been added to all the corners of the map. Some have even been kept secret and safe even from the Open Beta until now...
