The City of the Corsairs is the final chapter pack of the epic Dreamchaser cycle, and is one of the most uniquely designed quests in the entire game. Thematically up to this point in the cycle, we have been dealing with two story arcs. The first involved a search for an ancient Numenorean artifact based … Continue reading The City of Corsairs
After the betrayal of Captain Sahir at the Temple of the Deceived, he is escaping to Umbar. To cover his escape, the vile pirates attack Dol Amroth, forcing the heroes to fight their way through the Corsair fleet ! A Storm on Cobas Haven has a reputation for being difficult and tricky.

In many community polls, a common question is what their favourite scenario is. And besides all of the saga ones, Flight of the Stormcaller is one of those quests.

This was all because of the deceit of Sauron and the misguided teachings of the Númenorians. The game's developers have taken a bit of liberty with the lore … Continue reading The Fate of Númenor
As we kick off this brand new cycle, we get right away one of my favourite quests in the game. During Voyage of Belegaer, players are introduced to the new mechanics of the cycle, involving sailing tests and ship objectives/enemies. I like this quest because of the replayability, as well as the fact that it … Continue reading Voyage Across Belegaer
Going into the Dream-chaser cycle will see us facing a new mechanic in the game, unique to this cycle: Sailing tests. I wanted to explain a bit more about them in a separate article, as they are relevant for several quests during this cycle. Since this cycle also introduces us to Ship objectives and Ship … Continue reading Ships and Sailing tests
