Bears and Back Again — A LOTRO Roleplaying Event

All Bears Welcome

All Beornings welcome — and any hobbit, dwarf, elf, or wanderer with a bear costume to their name.

Long ago, a hobbit set out from Bag End and crossed the wild lands of Middle-earth until he came, at last, to the door of Beorn the skin-changer. We're walking that same road — from the green hills of the Shire, over the High Pass, all the way to Grimbeorn's house in the North. Good company, good cheer, and plenty of stops along the way.

Plenty of vistas and shenanigans worth a screenshot along the way.

The Road We Will Walk

The Shire where every good story starts

Bree a stop at the Prancing Pony — and a small show for the locals

The Lone-lands wide skies and quiet roads

The Trollshaws mind the stone trolls

Rivendell a little mischief for the elves of the Last Homely House

The Misty Mountains over the High Pass we go

Grimbeorn's house, Vales of Anduin journey's end — and honey-cakes

Journey's End — The Vales of Anduin

Once the mountains are behind us, the lands of the Beornings open up — and there's plenty in store:

A Concert in Meadhollow — 16:00–18:00 CEST

★ A Test of a Bear's Strength ★

At Grimbeorn's hall, duel your fellow bears and find out whose paw is heaviest.

★ A Climbing Challenge ★

Put your climbing talent to the test — a special reward awaits those who reach the top.

★ Bear School ★

A space for our youngest cubs to learn what it truly means to be a Beorning — skills, abilities, and the path ahead as you grow into your fur. No cub gets left behind.

★ A Feast for the Road ★

All food provided — enough for every walker to earn the in-game titles Breakfast Connoisseur and Carnivore. Come hungry.
