The Smoky Black Horse is the winning design from the European Horse Design contest.  This mount is available once you have achieved Kindred status with the Malledhrim and amassed 20 Malledhrim Gold Star Medallions which are similar, tho less easily acquired, to the Lothlorien Gold Leaves.

The Horse has the same stats as all reputation horses, which is to say that they are as fast as the purchased horses but are a bit sturdier for racing through hostile areas.

Other than that, there is really nothing special about the new horse.  However, if you want a black horse and don’t see Rank 9 PvP in your future, then this is the only other option.    My Burglar is quite happy with it.

The Lord of the Rings Online Volume 3 – Allies of the King has been announced.  Book 1 is title “Oath of the Rangers” and the new teaser screen promises the following:

• Marshall the Rangers of the North and help the future king find his destiny!
• Stage a daring rescue in the depths of Nurz Ghashu!
• 4 New 12-person Skirmishes
• New Level 65 Crafting Recipes

I hope marshaling the Rangers of the North means new Annuminas content, I really really do.  It may not be much of a stretch since we are clearly returning to the Rift (that’s Nurz Ghashu people!  If the Rift is back on the table then at least I can hope that Annuminas will come back too (bonus if it is a scalable Skirmish since it kind of behaved like one anyway).

Looks like Turbine posted with more details http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/601-oath-of-the-rangers

In one of those pictures, I’d swear I see me some Annuminas.  However, it doesn’t look like they are mentioning it by name, so I might be out of luck.
