Lord of the Rings Online Lorebook: Cairn of Honor

If you've been doing Angmar quests in LOTRO you've undoubtedly encountered the Cairn of Honor, but did you know where it comes from? Unless you're a die hard LOTR fan, probably not. This latest lorebook entry sheds some light on the history and significance of the Cairn of Honor:

When Eärnur and Glorfindel destroyed the hosts of Angmar and Rhudaur and drove the Witch-king from the North, the remnants of the Hill-men of Rhudaur escaped into the hills of the Witch-realm, hiding from the onslaught of the armies of Gondor and the Elves. Each clan pledged to the others an oath of honour never again to serve the Shadow in the East, and to live in peace with one another. As a token of this oath, they built the Cairn of Honour in the hills of Angmar.
