The East Road runs through the Lone-lands like an artery, and it has served more than one ancient kingdom lotro gold as highway and borderline. Thousands of years ago, it connected the Dunedain kingdom of Arnor - sister kingdom of Gondor - to Rivendell, the Misty Mountains, and lands east. It intersected the North-South Road (now called the Greenway) near the heart of Arnor, where Bree stands now.

Soldiers and knights stationed at the Tower of Amon Sûl - built on Weathertop, the highest of the Weather Hills - kept watch over the East Road from their high vantage point. Amon Sûl, in those days, lay well within Arnor's borders and housed a palantir, or seeing-stone, like the kind kept now at Isengard. With it, this land and its leaders could communicate with the far-off Arnorian capital of Annuminas. This created an era of security and nobility for the Lone-lands - few remnants of which now remain, save for the ruins of Amon Sûl and the Last Bridge.

Older even than the ruins of fallen Rhudaur that mark hilltops across the Lone-lands, the ancient Last Bridge stands as the sole safe crossing over the River Hoarwell and east into the Trollshaws. 

As you cross the Lone-lands, notice how different Weathertop's ruins look from those scattered elsewhere in the region. The scale and precision of the stonework of Amon Sûl is unmatched by the lesser, later keeps and castles. When you reach the easternmost edge of the Lone-lands, then, take special notice of the Last Bridge, another rare relic of Arnor in this area.

Long has the Last Bridge stood on this, the only safe crossing of the Hoarwell (called the River Mitheithel by the Elves). It has endured millennia of wars and neglect. Many have walked these stones - ancient kings and savage armies, Elf-lords and Nazgul - and now your hero has that honour as well.
