Turbine has announced the launch of The Battle of Amon Hen, the latest free content update for Lord of the Rings Online.  The Battle of Amon Hen features a new unlockable race, a new epic quest arc, new housing options, and six new skills: Oppressive Yolk, Hot Wings, Eggcellent Assault, Scramble, Poach, and Batter.

The Battle of Amon Hen brings a new race (with extra crispy new skills and features) to The Lord of the Rings Online. Players can now unlock the "Fowl-Peoples" of Middle-earth and grow in size by leveling up. By supersizing your chicken, you can crush your foes into 6, 12, or 20 pieces! The Battle of Amon Hen also adds a new epic quest arc, "Crossing the Road," as well as new housing options where players can visit their local broker to feather their nest, stage a coop, or splurge on a henhouse for their flock. Six new skills have also been added including Oppressive Yolk, Hot Wings, Eggcellent Assault, Scramble, Poach, and Batter. New features include a Drumstick instrument, Nuggets of Wisdom trait, A Pox Upon You fellowship skill, Colonel PvMP rank, and more!
