Elsewhere in Middle Earth,Redditor Ch_Mellclaims roughly 300 adventurers on Evernight banded together for an impromptu march to Rivendell. Once again, a Minstrel performed the song “Misty Mountains” from the game’s soundtrack, as the group gathered around the Bilbo Baggins NPC at the Hall of Fire (pictured in header). On the Belegaer server,Redditor RoadRageWorkersaid there was “music and mourning, and we all wished Ian godspeed on this last of journeys.”
For their part, LOTRO developers Standing Stone Games brought the Baggins Birthday quest back ‘til July 23rd “in honour of Sir Ian Holm”, and have extended the game’s current Spring Festival even until July 29th.
Beyond Middle Earth, Holm was known as the android Ash in Alien (briefly appearing in likeness inAlien: Isolation), alongside performances in Chariots Of Fire, The Fifth Element,Ratatouilleand many, many more. He will be missed.
