At one time there was no greater splendour in the North than Ost Elendil, the palace of Elendil of Westernesse in his great city of Annúminas. But those days are long past. The great, white walls of its towers have grown stained and ruined, crumbling into decay with the rest of the city. Time and the creeping wilderness claimed Annúminas and Ost Elendil long ago.

Then came the tomb-robbers, seeking what treasures they might plunder, but even they are not the greatest insult to the kings of old. The Shadow of Angmar stretches forth to seize Annúminas, and the ancient seat of Arnor's kings is too great a prize for them to resist.

Ost Elendil, though an invention of the designers of The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™, recalls the glory of Annúminas and the city's founder and first king, Elendil the Tall. Players of LOTRO will find that not all is at peace in the ruins of Ost Elendil should their journeys bring them there.
