While the easiest passage from Bree-land into the Lone-lands and Trollshaws is to follow the Great East Road below the Midgewater Marshes, it is not the only way through the hills. There are some paths known to few save the Rangers of the North, and one of these passes through the Marshes themselves. At the northeastern corner of the Midgewater Marshes, a pass leads up out of the bogs and through the hills beyond. From the peak of the Midgewater Pass, the great hill of Amon Sûl, known commonly as Weathertop, may be seen in the distance.

This is the path upon which the Ranger Strider conveyed Frodo Baggins and his companions out of Bree-land on their way to the Elf-refuge of Rivendell. Players of The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar interested in following the footsteps of the Fellowship will want to brave the Midgewater Marshes and the Midgewater Pass down into the Lone-lands beyond.
