One of the best things of this game is that it can dive deep into passing mentions of places and characters that were in the books. This cycle is a prime example of this, since we don't know much about Harad from the books. It has led us to the great jungles that were only … Continue reading The Black Serpent
The Crossings of Poros is to me a legendary quest for more than one reason.
