Lord of the Rings Online tours through Before the Shadow’s Cardolan

Now that Lord of the Rings Online has properly introduced its upcoming Swanfleet zone, the studio’s shifting its focus to promoting the other member of the Before the Shadow pair: Cardolan. In a new video, World Designer Matt Elliott gave viewers a tour through this pastoral region that lies to the south of Bree-land and Lone-lands.

The big landmark of Cardolan is the ruins-pocked city of Tharbad, which straddles a major river. But Elliott said that the zone may be pointing to bigger and better things: “One of the things I’m really excited about with this particular space is things that it teases in the future, like the Greyflood heading south. It’s part of our teasing a wider, bigger world.”
