High in the air he tossed the blazing brand. It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. 'Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!' he cried. There was a roar and a crackle, and the tree above him burst into a leaf and bloom of blinding flame. –J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring".

Summary

A keeper of ancient lore, the Lore-master uses his knowledge of ancient wisdom to stave off the advance of the shadow for a time. He can use this knowledge to attack his foes or to treat the wounds and suffering of his companions. He can even communicate with animals and request their aid.

Races: Elf, Man

Role: Crowd control/ Pets

Is this the class for me?

The Lore-master will be the class of choice for players who enjoy using the power of ancient lore to aid their allies and hinder their foes. Steeped in the history of Middle-earth, Lore-masters are able to aid their fellows in recovering from maladies caused by the forces of the Dark Lord. They can also use their knowledge to daze, harm or hinder their enemies, as well as to give of themselves to strengthen another. Their combat style is anchored in the power of knowledge and using it wisely to defeat evil.

+ Variety of pets - Limited weapon choice
+ Serious crowd-control skills - Some difficulty dealing with too many mobs while soloing
