The story revolves around three adventurers, Farin, Eredan and Andriel who are tasked by Aragorn to distract Sauron and direct his attention towards them in order to help Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring attempt to slip by unnoticed. That’s exactly what the people over at Snowblind Studios did when they thought up the idea of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, create a story that isn’t a part of The Lord of the Rings as it currently stands but fits seamlessly together with the work that we all know and love and they’ve done a good job of it too. STORY: When you’re working for a piece of work that’s as in depth as The Lord of the Rings then you’re sure to be able to pick a story or two from within the pages. This game is available for a 30 minute demo via OnLive, by clicking the banner below: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is the story of that journey, a journey of hope and destruction, a journey that, if the story is to be believed as canon, enabled the success of Frodo’s own quest to destroy The One Ring. Doesn’t it seem a little odd that Frodo and his friends didn’t have to face too much opposition for a lot of the time? Well, it would seem that that’s because Sauron’s gaze was firmly fixed on the north, on another fellowship, one that was attempting to distract the Dark Lord from The One Ring while also destroying the forces of Agandaur, one of Sauron’s chief lieutenants in the process. We all know what happened when Frodo Baggins, a simple Hobbit from the Shire, came into possession of The One Ring, we all know the adventure that he, and his eight companions, took through the peaks and valleys of Middle-earth on their way to Mount Doom in the lands of Mordor, but there is a story that we aren’t aware of.
