Kin Goals
Wisdom of the Valar was founded 10 years ago on July the 20th in 2007 on Snowbourn and transferred to Evernight in 2016. Across the years we are a kinship focused on providing a community for all players of LOTRO by helping members, organising instances, events and raids accessible for everyone. We strive to be an open community for all ages and player types. Rule light, but public chat and behaviour reflecting our kin values.

Aim of the kin is to have an officer available to contact during EU daytime and evenings. And a wide range of events and activities during the evenings besides the normal instances, and runs.

On rare occasion if a persons behaviour can warrant a removal from the kin. We strive to talk with this person and come to an agreement. This step is not taken lightly.
AFK cleanup , Old leader – Aka update playernotes
The kin has a limit of 1500 characters slots available and sometimes we’ve to clean up the kin roster by removing old character that have been offline the longest. This is why player notes are also important.
Guidelines
- Offline the longest
- Small alts,level 10 craft char, chars without playernote level < 50
- Alts with a known main
- If there is a large gap to the next offline character
- Character without a playernote
- Previous leaders alts – Current rule is that old leaders keep a character in the kin as a recognition for previous work. Main as officer.
- Unforeseen events
