Codemasters Online and Turbine Inc. today announced details of the next free content update for subscribers to The Lord of the Rings Online™: Siege of Mirkwood™.

In this brand new volume, Volume 3: Allies Of The King, Book 1: Oath Of The Rangers, players will return to Dol Guldur and fight in four Skirmishes with new 12-person mode in the shadow of the Necromancer’s Tower. Plus, fire and madness waits in the Depths of Nûrz Gâshu, an additional new Skirmish where you must rescue a brave fighter from flame and shadow. To help you meet the dangers ahead, you can now craft items up to level 65.

The shadow is spreading over Middle-earth, and the future king needs his allies to gather around him. Your part in the legend of the Ring continues as you must gather the Rangers of the North and bring them to the aid of their leader as he prepares to face his greatest challenge. You must race across the Northlands, where malice has already awoken and evil is growing, and marshal the rangers to meet the coming storm. The fate of the king depends on this journey, and the hopes of all the Free Peoples of Middle-earth!

Marshal the Rangers of the North, and help the future king find his destiny!
