One chapter in Volume III Book 2 in the upcoming LOTRO content release takes place in the sprawling maze instances Minas Elendúr and Delotham. Now anyone who knows me (in real life or in game) will know that I have terrible direction sense. So I didn't get very far into Minas Elendúr before I realised a map. And this being beta, there weren't any maps readily available. So I made my own. But it quickly became clear from GLFF that even people who don't normally have a problem navigating in LOTRO were having trouble with this one. I hope that my maps will be able to help someone.
For those who aren't familiar with these instances, there are two separate instances, Minas Elendúr and Delotham. However, they are connected by 17 doors. Delotham can only be accessed by going through Minas Elendúr, and parts of Minas Elendúr can only be accessed by going through Delotham. The epic quest primarily takes place in Minas Elendúr, but there is also a deed that requires exploring both instances.
I've posted two sets of pictures below. The first is in-game screenshots of the maps; the second is my hand-drawn maps. The hand-drawn maps aren't exactly to scale but it should be pretty easy to match the shapes up (especially with all those Hidden Mickeys...).

Welcome to Enedwaith
With LOTRO's Free to Play launch in a couple of weeks, I'm going to start posting some of my maps from beta. These are mainly intended for my kinnies in Eventide Revelry, but I'm posting them here so that they are accessible to anyone who might be interested. First up is a map of the new region, Enedwaith and the coordinates of all the POIs I've found. It should be fairly complete but if you find something missing or incorrect let me know. Apologies for any typos; I can't always read my own writing when it's not in English.
