The latest free content update Turbine is whipping up for its MMO Lord of the Ring꧑s Online releases this month (on October 25) - and it's a hefty one.

In addition to continuing the epic storyline the developer's cleverly intertwined with Tolkien's narrative, Book 11: Defenders of Eriador fea🀅tures 11 skill updates for the Minstrel and Lore-master character classes, new raid and high-level world content, Monster Play enhancements and - deep breath - player housing.

"Just imagine retreating to your own private hobbit-hole after a hard day's burgling, or inviting your friends over for some pipeweed and a chat in your stately elven-dwelling♎", says Turbine.

Booꦅk 11 also marks the first appearance of Gollum in the game, along with the fire-snortin🎃g Balrog. More details on the update.
