Lord of the Rings Online: Yule Festival – The Biggest Stomach of Them All

My favorite MMORPG, Lord of the Rings Online, is running a encore of the popular Yule Festival for 1 week only (the festival is run in December with a short encore usually after the spring Festival). These are sometimes employed to fill in gaps in the year’s event schedule, but ostensibly the reprises allow players who missed out on an event or didn’t quite finish up some goals to get things done.

I will be running a series of guides during the festival for what I consider to be the harder or more interesting quests available.
