LotRO Summer Festival guide page 2: The Town Crier
We'll begin this tour with some helpful info you will need to navigate the festival itself. With Book 14, LotRO will introduce a new Town Crier system where players can talk to this NPC for interesting events that may be happening currently in Middle-earth. These criers are located in many of the main cities and are identifiable by a large purple flag above their heads, and on the map. Other important festival or event NPCs will also have this same purple flag above their heads. Once you talk to the Town Crier, they will give a brief explanation of what events are underway and how to locate them.
For the Summer Festival events, all Town Criers will have the same events listed. The first four on this list are simply the names of the same festival in different regions, according to race. The last four on the list are specific events within these areas that give extra rewards. We will cover each of these in more details as the tour continues.
