Lorebook raids the tomb at Men Erain

There's a new The Lord of the Rings Online Lorebook entry that should interest would-be Tomb Raiders in virtual Middle-earth. Turbine has pointed the lore spotlight at Men Erain, a structure near Annúminas in Evendim. As usual, two very attractive screenshots are included with the new entry.

Men Erain has for centuries served as the tomb for the royalty of the now-fallen Western kingdom of Arnor, who ruled from the nearby city of Annúminas. Those kings were heirs of Isildur, the man who cut the ring from Sauron's hand. Now the tomb has been looted, but it may yet hold some secrets to be discovered.

By now you could look up all the featured Lorebook locations and spend about three weeks going on an unbelievably geeky lore pilgrimage, if you're into that sort of thing.
