<div style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.lotro.com"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a> expansion <a href="http://www.lotro.com/mirkwood"><em>Siege of Mirkwood</em></a> is set for release at the beginning of December, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/turbine">Turbine</a> takes us farther into the forest of Mirkwood today with brand new screenshots of the Ashenslades region. It's a bit farther in -- you can see Dol Guldur looming in the background -- and looks more dark and foreboding than our look at the somewhat-sunnier Scuttledells region.</div>
<br />
The Ashenslades name fits what the screenshots show -- take a look at the forest in flames in one picture, and what appear to be burned and blackened trees in the background of another one.<br />
<br />
This is the fourth region that <a href="http://www.turbine.com">Turbine</a> has shown us in our tour of Mirkwood, giving us glimpses of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/08/gaze-onto-dol-guldur-in-siege-of-mirkwood/">Dol Guldur</a>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/24/turbine-releases-new-siege-of-mirkwood-screenshots/">Gathburz</a>, and the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/29/new-screenshots-for-siege-of-mirkwood-scuttledells/">Scuttledells</a> regions in previous weeks. Monday's release of a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/03/lotros-spellbinding-lieutenant-of-dol-guldur-trailer/">trailer</a> gave us a bit more of a look into Dol Guldur as well. We have just over three weeks until the release of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/siege-of-mirkwood"><em>Siege of Mirkwood</em></a>, and hopefully Turbine will continue their previews to make the wait go by a little faster.<br />
