Storyline
The game story focuses on the Riders of Rohan, the Breaking of the Fellowship and Éomer's fight against the Orcs and Uruks who invade eastern Rohan.[1] The Riders of Rohan expansion continues the Epic Quest storyline with books 7, 8 and 9 of Allies of the King. These books team the player with a motley crew consisting of an exiled Rohir, a Dunlending woman and an Elf of Lothlorien.
Regions
Riders of Rohan adds one big zone and two smaller zones to the game world:[2]
- East Plains of Rohan
- Amon Hen
- Eaves of Fangorn
Mounted Combat
Riders of Rohan allows players to fight from horseback for the first time. Early quests in The Wold of East Rohan give players access to a War-steed, a special breed of horse trained for combat. Players can learn special attacks and maneuvers for their War-steeds and their mounts level up with experience just as the players do. War-steeds can be ridden in most game regions but mounted combat options are only available in Rohan.
