You may know some of these terms, others might be completely new to you. If you find anything that isn't correct or is incomplete in this guide, please let me know and I will edit it. This is something I wrote with the intention of helping new players with some questions they might have. Refer to the page linked above if links don't work. Almost all of them lead to the LOTRO Wiki which is an innocent page. NOTE 2: Most hyperlinks seem to be blocked here on Steam.
