Hail*NOR/ The flowers are starting to pop up and *NOR/ continues to grow with the new year. Count Riveni is bringing the dormant realm of Lord of the Rings Online back to life on the new 64bit server Glamdring.

However many have rolled fresh characters for the server, so its a good time to give it a try. Visit our Discord channel to learn how to get a guild tag. Growth in old and new realms will continue in the… - 105 *NOR/Newsletter 2025 January 23rd

I want to express my deepest gratitude to all our dedicated officers who tirelessly contributed to the creation of this newsletter and running the realms throughout the year. A special thank you goes to Lord Garadian, who has made significant efforts to expand the guild’s presence in new realms this year.

Hail*NOR/ Happy Halloween everyone! With the holidays quickly approaching the High Council has been revamping the guild merch store and we have added a NEW section to list member owned online stores. So this holiday be sure to check out gift ideas from your fellow NORbies. As far as the guild store, we have set up a Printify shop which seems to have much better price options then the old Cafepress. We left the old store there incase their prices ever get better, but for now all the new items will be going to Printify. As far as pricing goes… - 102 *NOR/Newsletter 2024 Aug 22nd

Hail*NOR/ You may have noticed an recent explosion of games the guild has been advertising, so this month I wanted to focus on some changes we have made to our NOMAD realms.

NOMAD list. The NOMAD category of guild realms are games where we have the ability to tag a existing member, but… - #100 *NOR/Newsletter 2024 June 13th
Hail*NOR/ Woot! Issue 100! Thanks everyone for your years of contributions. Over those years we have attached ceremonial ribbons to your member histories on the occasion we snagged one of your screenshots or if you wrote an article for the newsletter, I know it’s not a lot but we Thank You very much for making it all come together.

Way back when in-game emails were pretty limited and the news about events… - History: Newsletter Origin
The *NOR News Letter Lady Elidriel was the first to start a regular News Letter for the *NOR members. It was issued on an ‘as needed’ basis to the small group of members that was *NOR at that time. After Elidriel retired that duty fell upon Lord Grognard who promptly enlisted Lord Avatar to take over that when he became a Lord of the High Council. From that time until his resignation in early 1996, the News Letter was issued on a bi-monthly basis. The NL usually contained news that would interest *NOR members and had various articles of events… - 099*NOR/Newsletter April 25th 2024

Hail*NOR/ There was a time not too many years ago, long before Discord, when members of the guild could get together outside of their realm of play, and discuss the topics that most interest them and others. A place where we debate and have long discussions without today’s interruption of “Instant Text/Chat” … and of course a place to troll your guildmates with friendly banter :p I present to you… the Guild Forums have returned!!! A special thanks to Emeritus Lasarian for repairing these ancient and neglected forums and getting them back into running shape, I hope to see you… - 085*NOR/Newsletter 2022 Aug 25th

Dungeons & Dragons Online Hail *NOR/! Dungeons & Dragons Online is about halfway through its Hardcore Season 4. So far, the top monsters that have sent adventurers to the Land of the Lost Souls are Mimics, traps, Kobold Shamans, Arcane Skeletons, and Tiefling illusionists. Creating a character build that has good saving throws, can disable traps, and can deal sufficient damage to progress steadily is a challenging task. So far, Paladins, Favored Souls, and multiclass adventurers are the top builds with Warlock, Sorcerers, and Artificers coming in strong as well. Please join the current New OutRiders guild members who are… - 075*NOR/News 2021 April 22nd
Dungeons & Dragons Online Hail *NOR/! A call to arms has rung across all of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Hardcore Season 4 is upon us, and mimics are abound!

Collect mimic tokens from defeated mimics and turn the tokens for quality items or collectible reagents. Numerous Hardcore-only rewards are available to players who make it to level 20, 1750 favor, 5000 favor, 10 reaper points, and 20 reaper points. Current popular… - 074*NOR/News 2020 June 18th
