  • East Bight
rdfs:comment
  • The East Bight was a large clearing in southeast Mirkwood. East Bight was the great indentation in the eastern edge of Mirkwood, a treeless region that was roughly square in shape, some fifty miles to a side, towards the southern end of the wood. The "Bight" was not a natural formation, but rather the result of generations of forestry by the Northmen who had historically occupied the lands east of the forest, from whom the Éothéod could claim descent. Because of the Bight, that part of Mirkwood immediately to the north of Amon Lanc was less than one hundred miles across, and so it became known as the Narrows of the Forest.
  • The East Bight is a large clearing in the south-east of Mirkwood. Upon entering this biome you gain the achievement "Axes of Old" and you unlock the waypoints of the Wilderland region. It was added in Public Beta 25. This is not a very favorable place to settle as traders do not frequent this area, but bandits and marauding regiments from Dol Guldur do.

abstract
  • The East Bight is a large clearing in the south-east of Mirkwood. Upon entering this biome you gain the achievement "Axes of Old" and you unlock the waypoints of the Wilderland region. It was added in Public Beta 25. The East Bight is the great indentation in the eastern edge of Mirkwood, a treeless region that is roughly square in shape, some fifty miles to a side, towards the southern end of the wood. The "Bight" is not a natural formation, but rather the result of generations of forestry by the Northmen who had historically occupied the lands east of the forest, from whom the Éothéod could claim descent, alongside the later depredations of Dol Guldur and the Balchoth. Because of the Bight, that part of Mirkwood immediately to the north of Dol Guldur is less than one hundred miles across, and so it is known as the Narrows of the Forest. The East Bight is a rather barren land, stripped of any significant undergrowth and large trees, similar to the Brown Lands and Dol Guldur. The land is flattened after years of erosion and the fertile forest soils have been flushed away and partially depleted. It's only partially covered with grasses and rotten logs are scattered all over the place. There's scarcely a live tree to be found. Small herds of horses graze the lands. This is not a very favorable place to settle as traders do not frequent this area, but bandits and marauding regiments from Dol Guldur do.
