The mysterious River-maiden Goldberry gets a Lorebook page
Filed under: Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Online, Lore, Quests
Ahh, the Old Forest. Lord of the Rings Online players have mixed emotions about this area: fear, respect, probably a very healthy portion of loathing as they stumble around in circles for far too long trying to get through it. It is here that you may stumble upon Goldberry, who has just been given her own page in the Lorebook.Goldberry is a River-maiden, but no one really knows what a River-maiden is. Appearance-wise, they resemble the races of Man and Elf, but much about them remains a mystery. Goldberry is married to Tom Bombadil, but only after failing to capture him once and having him come back to her later on -- if at first you don't succeed, hey? Bombadil is all kinds of crazy, so a visit to these two in the Old Forest is sure to yield some fun quests. You can view Goldberry's new lorebook page to find out a bit about the tasks she has for you, and also see the map of her location, if it's any help at all in the unforgiving forest.

The Old Forest is one of my favorite early areas of LotRO. Not because I had an easy time navigating and questing there (I just about need signs telling me how to go from my living room to the kitchen, so the Forest was a nightmare in that respect), but because it is so perfectly designed to immerse you in the feel of the area.
The music, the dead ends, the trees pushing in on all sides...all help with the sense of dread. Then you stumble upon Goldberry or Tom ("stumble upon" because I'm *still* not sure I can find them on purpose :) ) and everything changes. You have hope and are happy again...at least until you remember you still have that darn satchel to find...
