Caradhras

This peak lies near the midpoint of the Misty Mountains. Underneath lies the old dwarven settlement of Moria, formerly known as Khazad-Dum. At this mountain lies Redhorn Pass, where the Fellowship of the Ring attempted to cross the Misty Mountains before turning back.

Rivendell

Once ruled by Elrond, this town is now ruled by his descendents. Far gone from its heyday, it is still an impressive site filled with rich culture. Its architectural style hails from ancient societies, and its beautiful waterfalls are it most striking features.

Minas Tirith

This city is the capital of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. It was the site of a defining battle of the War of the Ring, during which the city almost fell. Fortunately, its forces prevailed, and it is said to be more beautiful today than at its founding.

Orthanc

This tower was once used by Saruman as a base of operations during the War of the Ring. After his death, it was re-taken by Gondor, and the surrounding area was given to the Ents. Today, it is a museum, housing some of the most prized artifacts from across Middle Earth.

Hobbiton

Hobbiton is a quiet village located in the Shire. It was once the home of Bilbo Baggins and his nephew, Frodo. Much of it was unfortunately destroyed during the War of the Ring, but it was rebuilt. Today, it looks much like it did in the Baggins' time.

Lothlorien

Today, little remains of this once great city. The unique trees that once grew here are no longer, and the elves that once dwelt here have left or perished. There are a few artifacts remaining from the elves, and there is also the grave of Lady Arwen, the queen of King Elessar Telcontar, the first king of reunited Gondor and Arnor.

Dale

Dale was once a thriving city built by men near Erebor, the lonely mountain. The surviving residents created a town on the nearby lake, which was destroyed when Smaug awoke. After the defeat of the dragon, the survivors re-established Dale. During the War of the Ring, it was besieged until news of Sauron's defeat came.

Eyrn Lasgalen

Eryn Lasgalen is a large forest to the West of the river Anduin. It was once a corrupted forest home to dark magics, known as Mirkwood, but today it is much more hospitable. It is home to unique fauna and flora. It is a vast forest with few trails, so be sure to hire a guide and stay on the road to avoid getting lost.
