The End of Winter, the Birth of Something Unexpected

I have had my second age bow for almost a year. Well, I had it. I finally crunched it last night because of a very unexpected gift from a dear friend. I was able to craft my first 1st age weapon last night using something I never thought I'd hold - The Symbol of the Elder King. It still needs a great deal of work, and it makes me sad that with the expansion coming out just right around the corner (literally, it's Monday) that the bow probably won't last long before I crunch it it as well for a level 75 piece. It would be nice if the weapons actually leveled with you so you could hold on to them, but that would take too much grind out of the game I suppose and then people would have less of a reason to continue playing lotro.

Any way, not that any of you care, my imaginary readers, but here is the last look I ever took at Winter's Breath, and the first happy look I took at my new 1st age (who is yet without a name. Suggestions? Still not to the last reforge).
