Shortly before closing down MMeOw, I put together my own map to the Flowers of the Old Forest deed. There are a few of these floating around, but I went ahead with it anyway. For those not familiar, this deed requires you to find several flowers scattered throughout the Old Forest. Doing quests in the Old Forest, you’ll likely run across a few of these. Finding the rest isn’t exactly a cup of tea, unfortunately, as many are in areas you really don’t have any need to visit.

The map below gives the locations and names of all of the flowers you need to find: Nedor­las, Braiglad, Lenhwest, Sil­loth, Mer­il­lif, Dorollin, Cord­o­foneth and Rhosthon. I didn’t bother with coor­di­nates, as I think this is easy enough. If you have trouble finding one, you can press “Delete” on your keyboard to select usable that is nearest item to your character.

This site gets a lot of searches related to the Old Forest flower deed. Nowadays you kids have it easy. Back when I had to first worry about this, I had to run around with 2 wolves, 3  bats, a bear, several spiders and some evil trees on my tail.  We didn’t even have a detailed map! But I digress …

I thought it would be helpful to put together a map of the flower locations (Nedorlas, Braiglad, Lenhwest, Silloth, Merillif, Dorollin, Cordofoneth, Rhosthon). I didn’t bother with coordinates, as I think this is easy enough. I’ve labeled by name, which should be helpful for those of you with a few flowers leftover.

In “From the Book” Goldenstar discusses the significance of in game people, places and things that were part of the book and excluded from the movies so you can understand their importance and appreciate them!

Today’s topic is the merry fellow himself, Tom Bombadil. Tom lives in the Old Forest near the Withywindle River with his wife Goldberry. Tom Bombadil is a very care-free man often found dancing and singing. He almost always is singing or at least speaking in rhymes. Poor Tom isn’t mentioned in the movies at all but he is available for us in LotRO to enjoy!

Tom Bombadil In-game you will find Tom near his home and Goldberry is out in the forest with a quest for you. You will find Tom wearing the clothing according to the song he sings in the book:

Regardless as to how you may feel about the current state of the Old Forest, the place still looks extremely foreboding. If you look closely, you can make out a bear starting to stalk me down.
