Notes on the June 1st session:

 

This week we completed the quests at the High King's Crossing, and then started working on the quests from Tinnudir.  We completed the Twilight Estates chain, as well as the first batch of other quests, including the Tyl Ruinen quests.  You should now have the following under Evendim:

 

Barachen's Camp (completes in the Trollshaws)

We'll meet in Tinnudir next week and head out for the quests on the eastern side of Evendim.

[Saelios]

Notes on the June 8th session:

 

This week we completed all the quests northeast of Tinnudir, including all of the Ost Forod quests.  We stopped when we got to the Eavespires.  You should now have the following Evendim quests:

 

Barachen's Camp

Friends at the Eavespires

The Gauredain of Emyn Uial

One More Marker

Refuge of the Elves

The Earth-Kin of Lehmä-Koti

 

If you turned in Friends at the Eavespires, you may have a bunch of additional quests.  I'll turn that one in at the start next week, and then we'll do a quest inventory again to make sure everyone's together.

 

Finally, we had several people hit levels 39 and 40 this week.  When you hit 39, don't forget to go talk to your class trainer and pick up the books that will let you hunt for pages later.  The books will tell you to talk to someone, which you should go ahead and do so you can get the pages when the time comes.  When you hit 40, remember to put on your Tortoise Stone, as that's the current cap.
