A small exempt from my adventures in Middle-Earth:

I decided I should go to Rhudel for no real reason at all (other than maybe getting pomegranates?). So I fast-travelled to Dorwinion (since I am agood-aligned player) and travelled east crossing into Rhudel from there. After getting some pomegranate saplings, which obviously took like 5 seconds, I thought: "why not just keep fighting my way through this place?" and so I did. Then, after another few minutes I thought "why not fight my way all the way south and go into mordor?" after all, I had conquest set to true, so as long as I could kill a couple of orcs I figured I'd be fine.

At this point, the plan looked like this: go all the way south through rhudel, enter mordor via the eastern watch, and then maybe go all the way through mordor to Minas Tirith or something? It wouldn't be that hard, would it? So I travel further south through rhudel and raid some towns for supplies along the way (It's a long way through the entirety of Mordor after all), and I finally reach mordor. I see the great hordes before me and for a moment I hesitate, but being the brave soldier I am, I decide to go in. I try to isolate a single orc so that I can kill it and get conquest, but his buddies can't help themselves and join in too! Outnumbered, I try to perform a tactical retreat, but then a LAG SPIKE appears! I am frozen for a whole second, and when I ultimately return to control I have been knocked into a lava ravine by some wargs, granting me a guaranteed death and the loss of my precious mithril sword.

I thought it wouldn't be to hard, just another day of fighting and traveling. Surely Mordor wouldn't be much harder than all the places I have been to before in my life? But of course, my attitude was proven wrong immediately. I lasted less than one minute in Mordor. One minute!
