A member of the Eldar kinship Pata Negra, Ethelrod (Jorge) passed away suddenly and came as a shock for his friends. Jorge was only 37 years old. We were very sad to hear this news and wish Jorge’s family in real life as well has his friends in his kinship our condolences.

To celebrate Jorge and all the joy he brought to his kin, Pata Negra organized a memoriam walk through the Ettenmoors on July 31, 2011.

Exiles of the Riddermark is a series of heavy RP events on the Landroval server leading up to the LOTRO expansion, The Rise of Isengard.  The purpose is to provide a framework for players to develop their own personal or kin-wide RP stories while participating in a larger story arc that is directly connected to the story that is unfolding with the expansion.

The final phase of these events is a "Ride to Ruin" where the assembled host will ride across Enedwaith to the Gap of Rohan.
